Shrine map and candles are a slap in the face

[snuggleform]

I've already maxed out altar of hope and done all the hero shrines, so it is a slap in the face when the stagecoach hero shrine scouting item still shows up and when I get candles clogging my inventory forcing me to delete them all the time for space.

Aren't there some "candle sink" options later in the game? Memories for your characters and whatnot?

But the amount of candles you spend on memories is far less than the amount of candles you make just by completing the run. There is no point to picking up candles because you can pick up let's say 10 or so candles a run, but you make 20 or so just by winning, and the memories only cost 8 at max (2 x 4 heroes). So there is absolutely no reason to pick up candles once you've maxed out the altar, even when you factor in memories.

Wow. When I last checked Memories, they cost 5 candles per Memory and there are 5 slots per character for them, so it could cost up to 25 per character and thus 100 candles for a full party. I may have overestimated that cost.

And there really is no other way to spend them? Seems like a big oversight.

There are upgrades in the altar to reduce memory cost. Fully upgraded it only costs 2 candles a memory.

I'm in a similar situation as yourself. I literally just unlocked the last thing and I'm sitting here asking myself, "what do I care about a random candle "score"?" or whatever it's called.

I wouldn't go as far as call it "a slap in the face" but it's definitely an oversight as Pixel Peeper put it.

Kind of ironic when there's a candle sink just to reduce future candle sinks.

Are you really complaining about having everything unlocked?
