Ohhhhhh, I just realized (now that I have Serrated Blades) that while Drops are taken or given back to the Demiurge, Shards are NOT.
And now I have my eye on the Side Quest, which is available at 1/4 the Demiurge’s WP.
Is that based on the current WP (which, as I have 33 Blood Drops in World 0, is 117) or is it the starting WP (which would be 150)? As in, is the Side Quest cheaper to start the weaker the Demiurge is?
