Are Mountain Sherds and Elements of Dawn one use summon items?

[Quinn]

I don't want to end up buying one of these unless it's quest related and/or I can farm these bosses reliably.

You will know when you need an Element of Dawn and should only buy it then. It has no efficient use other than that.

I also can't see the point in ever buying a Mountain-Sherd. They are items you sell for a profit, but should generally not sell directly for Echoes but instead in Irem for Parabola-Linen. Another (less profitable) option is to convert it into a Captivating Treasure by right clicking it in the hold.

Slight correction. There are two storylines that you can use a Mountain-Sherd for, but there are at least two storylines where you can get one by finishing the storyline, so if possible, get it through a story rather than by buying it. They're way overpriced.

That doesn't answer my question.

Here's my two cents: I've held the Mountain Sherd and I'm fairly certain it's one-use, since there is a different item in the game you can use infinitely, and its value on the toolbar was infinity, whereas the Mountain Sherd had a value, the number one.

So, I presume the Mountain Sherd is one-use, and assume the same about the Element of Dawn (if you were to acquire one. It is quite hard to get).

As for farming? No clue. I happened to pass by Mt. Nomad once and immediately steered clear. It has more hp than any other creature I've encountered so far (35ish hrs in). No idea what the drops are or if it's worth it to kill, but I probably won't try until a quest tells me to. Farming monster drops is not a viable method of making money, in my experience.

But yes, they are both quest-related. The wiki is barebones but has more information, too.

Elements of Dawn are pretty cheap if you go through the tedious process of buying supplies from the surface and if you have a developed spy network in port carnelian

Yes, they're one time use items.

Thanks for the help Doodbros.

Do the items to summon super rare monsters that drop either quest items and/or high value items have one use or infinite uses... Well, let's think about this for a moment...

They have only one use and are completely not worth it for those summons unless, for some reason, you really really need that particular monster. Or you need that item (Mountain-Sherd). It's a complete waste to use these items on a summon.

Sure do it if you're in a hurry and you're rich. I spam F everywhere and that's a ridiculous waste of fuel.

It's more efficient than buying the Compulsion.

Try it with Fulgent Impeller and Milebreaker.

LUDICROUS SPEED! GO!

I just manually edited the speed values
Then I stopped when warping at light speeds glitched me out of the map since going 100 times the base speed zoomed the map out until I could see half the Underzea.
Now I just use the Avid Suppressor and the Impeller/Serpentine

Fuel efficient, maybe, but you can only have either the Milebreaker or the Suppressor, and without the Suppressor, that engine is just going to explode.

You can also only have FULL SPEED or efficiency, since full speed cancels the effects of efficiency. Using full speed with the Impeller is... um... it's not a good idea.

Oh snap, thanks for that tidbit, I'm totally sticking with the Milebreaker now.

It's a wonderful idea with the Suppressor, so long as you have money to burn, which you're literally doing. Zipping along like a speedboat is awesome.
