Why do you like Acashic Record so much?

[Jasper]

IMHO Achasic Record was sometimes usefull in Dom-1, when you could know for sure that hidden sites were present, so that the only risk was that you'd find the rare worthless sites.

In Dom 2, Acashic Record is way too expensive for me to use in a competitive situation. The odds of you finding nothing are very good, and it compares very poorly to the various gem producing global enchantments. In general I just search, with an occasional burst of Augries (most commonly for Astral as it can be done with a cheap Astral 1 mage).
