Me, along with a lot of others, have gotten annoyed with the few ways to get db when we want new apps and such. And well, instead of db, we pile up on goats for the ritual...when they get wasted when a ritual fails. Or we gather lots of PQ when it just sits in our hoard till we get the quest from Oya.

I suggest a system where we can trade goats or Phantom quarts for dive beetles. Maybe the people keep getting beetles with each floods, when they need more goats for their rituals or for food in general. Or they need phantom quartz to make jewelry.

That way, goats and pq don't go to waste and we'll have the db we need quicker when we can't wit and hour for just 5 db, or two hours for the possibility of getting 0 db.
