They're about right, and shouldn't be changed. 29 32.95%
No, their utility is balanced by the research investment/cost in mage time/gem cost or whatever, especially if you want to wish (or other high level spell-spam.) 16 18.18%
No, they're no longer worth the investment/bother, especailly now tha I need nature/water mages to get them. 5 5.68%

Default Re: Poll: Is Clam Hording Too Good?

This can be easily done by giving clams a -research penalty. Right where the Lightless Laterns get a + they get a -. Reflecting time spent caring for and feeding the clam.... or energy drain from the claim.

This gives clams an ongoing expense in term of RP points lost.

Of course, at The End Of Time with L-9's in all schools this cost means nothing... but at The End Of Time balance is a truly strange thing anyway.
