I think that the arcane tomes should be rebalanced

[Saint Wolf]

I'm taking my sweet time going through the fell, trying to upgrade and experiment as much as possible and the arcane tomes seems to be the biggest bottleneck in my playthrhough, I basically start an expedition, kill everything with an above 0 chance of giving me tome, idle for 2 to 4 minutes after the world ends to get the chaos eggs, then return to the tower with like 120 to 160 tomes and circa 2000 arcana and then lose all the tomes in like 4 to 6 upgrades.

Hope this can be fixed.

When going in blind, it does feel a bit tight early on, especially when trying to open up everything. Later on it gets a little better, and near the end you just get more tomes than you know what to do with.

It would be a hard thing to balance, because after you know what you are looking for, you can focus on a few things and just speed through things.

I know it is a problem, but I'm not sure how the devs could really fix that. Though, you could farm the Mechantress fight a few times and deconstruct books there since that place is early and easy to get to.

I found the imperium to be better than the fell when it came to getting tomes early game. There is rubble with tomes on them everywhere. Not so much in the fell.

Hey, not a bad idea, I might do just that.

EDIT: Would be a great tactic to, as the world ends, go to that gate to fight the big lady. I accidentally found out that the best way to kill her is to charm her (make her a friendly mob) and then use DOT-AOE bullets like poison and fire to damage her since you can't shoot your friendly mobs but you can damage your friendly mobs them with ticking pool damage.

I start from the northmost gate in The Imperium and then work my way down to The Fell, I just meant that I was not really enabling the third zone yet.
