The JourneyMap Token in Age 2 requires 32 charm of keeping 1s. I barely had half of that after completing the entire Twilight. I would suggest lowering it by half or requiring charm of keeping 2s instead of 3s.
Yeah, I cheated the other half in. But you can usually farm them from the Maze slimes.
Considering journeymap is a gigantic step up from the atlas, if charms of keeping can be farmed from Maze slimes, I might say that my personal opinion is to keep it the way it is. Especially since pig (luck) totems can be spammed with little effort. Two blocks of wood is all that's needed.
Using maze maps makes it significantly easier, and you'll usually/virtually always get enough tokens to make two maps per labyrinth. There's also usually a secret room on the second floor you have to dig to in the labyrinth that can have more charms. It only took us our first maze and another one to get all 32, and that's with using a couple on deaths.
This quest opens up Journey Map early. If you do not want to do, you do not have to. It unlocks for free in stage 4.
If you notice, the "main quest" advancements are shown differently in the advancement window.
I will add more notification to the side quests to allow the player more visibility on what is optional.
Didn't know it unlocked for free at age 4, thanks.
Information was added to tooltip in 3.0.4, should be much clearer now.
