please change wickerbottom's full moon book recipe

[CutChemist]

Honest question, do a majority of the player base struggle to clear the ruins?  Or even if you have a party that has killed dragonfly you can take the yellow gem and run pass everything, esp. with moggles.

What connection do yellow gems have with the moon? 

[Parusoid]

using yellow gem instead of iridescent gem is like using 4 logs instead of boards in the recipe - exactly the same

yes, but it sweeps away many problems

the lens is directly connected with the moon, and the yellow stone is its symbol

Do you get the gem back if you deconstruct the book?

Not really, this way you don't have to make a starcaller staff and a deconstruct staff, do the moon event and deconstruct the staff for the gem (which I feel like a waste, I prefer to make full use of it). I believe it would even make the book a more mid game thing because right now you can just pick the two gems at the archives easily, but you can't get a yellow one without doing the ruins/dragonfly which are atleast dangerous.

 

Edit: I kind of contradicted myself but what I mean is that the first two books are even cheaper than a yellow gem.

definitely has to change, not great wasting time just to replenish stolen gems

Yellow gem = light (star caller / magi)

Yellow moonlens = moonlight

Other than not needing to enter caves at all and waste green gems.

see you get it, rarity and availability is the same, no need to count it Axe in my example with logs

not the rarity problem which is the main issue of the recipe

Ah, you mean it's still expensive, if so that recipe suggestion isn't what you looking for, sure. It's just that for me if Klei intent is for it to be more of a late game item a more reasonable recipe at an equal price would be more desirable.
