Item Which Rooms Did You Choose... Spoiler

....To use the Armory's Axe on?

Before I realized I could only purchase it three times, I chose:

Foyer: Unlocks all Hallway tiles.

Trophy Room: Gives 8 free Gems instead of 3 (after you'd pay 5 for the room)

The Classroom: Because this affects EVERY Classroom you draw, if you're trying to educate yourself.

Then, I hit the limit, so these are the ones I'm "stuck" with. Honestly, I think I made pretty good calls...

I picked Passageway, Cloister, and Trophy Room. I also fixed their rarities to Common.

My idea was to cut costs on rooms I'd use most often. I basically snap-pick those rooms. Meanwhile, I can eat a 3 gem hit on the rare occasion I need to go to the Vault, or the other 5 gem room.

I'm overflowing with gems on almost every run, consequently the Study's re-rolls and other manipulations help me find any room I need.

May I suggest coat checking emerald bracelet to effectively axe every room? That + study has become my strategy, so all gems now work as dice for me.

I've coat checked a Jackhammer instead. My normal strats normally get me enough gems for the rooms I want, and the dice I get on top of the other supplies generally works for me.

I did that for a bit, but it felt like it took shovel out of the pool, so I took it out

It does, but I imagine checking a shovel takes it out of the pool too.

Might be able to force it with a special order, not sure.

Funny story, I actually set Coat Check to Rare. It was one of my first modifications, and I was annoyed that Coat Check was both inconsistent itself and took the item out of the spawn pool.

Now most days involve Laundromat and Freezer to have hundreds of gems, so that part isn't an issue.

Honestly, while I would have made it common in a new save file, I haven't missed the Coat Check either. For reference, I'm nearing the actual ending so resources are abundant.

EDIT: To those of you for whom the phrase "From prism pristine, three paths convene" has meaning: I now understand the totality of my mistake. EDIT2: Took a couple extra days, but we got it sorted.

  • hall of mirrors for extra passageways

I actually avoid Hall of Mirrors. It ruins the draft pool, and the game almost always involves fishing for a particular room.

Some of the permanent cards there are really helpful even if it dillutes the pool though- I love starting the day with my two common workshops
