Trash Divining adds a small chance that the player character discovers a random secret when they rifle through [[trash]]. | Trash Divining adds a small chance that the player character discovers a random [[secret]] when they rifle through [[trash]]. Creatures can use the{{color | W | Rifle through Trash}} ability after they learn the [[Scavenger]] skill in the [[Tinkering]] skill tree. | ||
'''Important:''' Learn Scavenger first. Trash Divining is useless without Scavenger. | |||
== Advantages and disadvantages == | |||
{{Opinion}} | |||
=== Advantages === | |||
* Normally the player must spend [[reputation]], use [[Secret-based cooking effects|hard-to-find cooking ingredients]], or just get lucky to find secrets. Trash Divining significantly increases the player's opportunities to find secrets with minimal effort. | |||
* Trash Divining can find [[Historic site|Historic Sites]], [[Stopsvalinn|the snapjaw who wields Stopsvalinn]], or the location of [[The Ruin of House Isner]]. These secrets are high-value secrets that are difficult to find otherwise. | |||
* Balance the relatively low percentage chance by rifling in bulk. Discover a lot of secrets (and scrap) at places with a lot of trash, like [[Rusty biome#Rust Bog|rust bogs]] or [[Golgotha|The Cloaca]]. | |||
=== Disadvantages === | |||
* Trash Divining is a very expensive skill to learn and use. To use Trash Divining, the player character must first have Tinkering, Scavenger, and [[Customs and Folklore]]. Assuming that the player character has none of these skills to start, the total skill point cost for Trash Divining is 500 skill points: 100 for Tinkering, 100 for Scavenger, 150 for Customs and Folklore, and 150 for Trash Divining. | |||
* The Intelligence requirement (21) is relatively high, so only some builds will have access to it in the early to midgame. | |||
* The majority of secrets in the game are of dubious use to the player. Trash Divining is just as likely to reveal the location of a Historic Site as it is to reveal random gossip. | |||
