Journal pages worthless? Is that right??

[MythTrip]

They take a valuable slot in the inventory, and when you get them home they are "added to memoires". I read they were worthless, just fluff story. Is that right? WTF?

[Sillicha]

They tell you some of the story, there not worthless. If you bring them back to the hamlet they wont spawn again and are added so you can read them later again. No reason to "WTF?".

Goal 1: Don't die
Goal 2: Kill all Bosses

i see it correctly that they don't do anything that help these 2 points?
Lore is good and all, but i already can't carry all the gold, assets and upgradematerial i find. Let alone the food and torches i need to get out alive

If you aren't able to carry the food and torches and most of your loot, you're taking too many food and torches.

Then dont take them with you, if you have that much problems. You easily get more than enough money and upgrade material if you take 1 page every time with you. You dont need to take every little bit of loot that drops with you, you are not meant to do this. So just wait to collect them until much later when you feel you dont need as much gold and heirlooms or collect them early so they dont spawn anymore.

Also, your "Goals" are technichally incorrect, you dont have to do either of those. Sure you dont want to die and you want to kill all bosses and get all rewards, but the only thing you absolutely have to do is to clear the darkest dungeon and you can have as many casualties as you like.

I think the most irritating thing is that you don't even get an achievement for it. I believe Pitch Black added benefits to retrieving the texts, as well as adding more Journal Entries. I can't recall what the benefits were, though (gold value, additional resolve XP, bonuses on next quest or District-like bonuses? no clue)

[Ervik]

The benefits for retrieving them should be letting Wayne June read them to you.

You guys might like my mod here; this is all of the PBD journal pages in a standalone mod, and yes it does make the journal pages worth gold!

By standart I always use this mod. Call me a cheater or whatever, the lore is quite fun to read. And the gold is welcome.

[Touching Everything]

From what I understand, Sort of.

IF you open a chest, You will collect 1-4 things. So if you collect 3 things and a journal page. Your losing money, However if you collect all them, they will never show up again. And thus giving you an gain by making sure non is left.

I collect them so once done they don't drop again.
