Be able to rehome pearl post pearled crab king + Lore reasons

[Jakepeng99]

Lore reason: Only reason she insisted to stay on the island was to be closer to crab king and hope to try find him. Now she is ready to return to the mainland if the player decides. This speeds up the Wagstaff quest a little in the future. After moving her, she says she actually misses the vibe of the island, and asks if you could decorate her area to make it feel like home, alluding to you she may have something to show you if you do. Gives hints at what things she would want to decorate her island, but only the more niche things.

Game reason: I want her stuff early i dont like it being post riff. Also makes the wagstaff thing slightly less devastating since you dont need to wait to long to rehome her island and then decorate it.

Heck, it can still have post riff stuff that fits more.

The pre riff teas could be nerfed ones, but post riff you can spend an additional 2 brightshade husks and 1 pure brilliance to enchance the drink.
The salt crafter upgrade that gives the upgraded salt stuff can be post riff.

I like your post and it all makes sense but imagine we didn't need to relocate her as well if the Scion fight had its own arena. Then devs wouldn't need to lock any of her new content post rifts (and post lunar mutant kills). Devs shot themselves in the foot by ruining Pearl's island and are trying to make up for it. While I can clearly see the thought and effort behind this, it's just not working out for me. And it seems that it restricts them a lot in their decisions on when to make this content available and how many other restrictions to put on players building-wise, killing their creative freedom when choosing how to decorate Pearl's area and where to have it. I heard you can't even place her on the Lunar Island - the second most fitting replacement for her destroyed homeland. The new decor quests won't work there (or used to not work, not sure if it got fixed).

I completely agree.

I also think having pearl at our bases is just kind of boring as well.

But it feels like Klei is forcing this and giving us no choice. So id rather not Teick some players into decorating pearls island just to realise they need to destroy everything and reset even more progress.
