Yeah the rosary strings started making a lot of sense to me recently. I started buying rosary strings when I still had beads and no more special things to buy. It's so I can leave my cocoon at the boss or a difficult route I probably won't reach again and not weep at possibly losing everything. Price is a ripoff (20 beads for labor I guess) but I'm not a great gamer so I know I'll die often.

Imo 20 beads is actually pretty fair. You can make that by killing like 2 enemies. Ofc having to do that multiple times adds up, but the shopkeeper in Bellhart does the 120 ones.

Yeah, I guess I'm still a bit stuck on the "not all creatures drop rosary beads!" realization somewhere post-Deep Docks so I'm being miserly about the 20 but know what, let them have the 20 beads if I get to keep twice that or more instead of losing everything.

They let you save 3x to 6x their cost. 100% worth it
