Why fix something that isn't broken?

Removing sextants and changing scarabs was just (*****) <-insert what word you want)

now gating it behind curation's which have been shadow nered,. 5div per scarab extremely rare and as soon as streamer's release a start that's kinda broken you remove it all

They also didin’t want to run lab and didint want to buy enchants.

Be careful what you wish for.

It seems the guy who demanded sextant to be removed is not interested in playing after he got what he wanted.

XD , Depends in what sense I am more on the lines of Genius'ly stupid

Yeah getting a chance to actually play with it, I do prefer the new Scarab system, it just pushes several systems into one unified system that helps cut down on the half dozen ways to manipulate maps into a simplfied version. Crushing previous scarabs into several thousand vieled scarabs that created a ton of work without an easy fix that was easy to fix (automating the change, particularly for those with a Fragments tab, a way to unveil more than one at a time, etc) wasn't particularly well thought out, but this game NEEDS every chance to simplify and unify systems.

Also the reduction of FOMO of the 'wizard chores' that any daily quest system creates I appreciate.

The way this was implemented was obvious to the fact there are no alpha testers
i have 10k of those scarab fragments in standard,. Thanks GGG

Sextants was the most broken thing in the game from a QoL perspective. I love the Scarab changes.

This. I don't know if this change is a nerf or not, but I've always hated the tedious process of rolling sextants or buying compasses/watchstones. Merging everything into scarabs definitely feels like a huge QoL in this regard.

Sextant Rollers that were making huge amount of money would disagree /s
