I don’t fly my pirate flag and still get the option to get stashed treasure.
Now that they have changed things I’m off to the Iron Republic soon:)
Edit - I just threw that one away before.

Pretty sure you weren’t the only one.
I often kept the Iron Republic treasure card but always tossed back the Port Carnelian one. Not anymore, of course.

Finally time to empty out that closet.

Interesting… I wonder if this portends an eventual (imminent?) use for them.
Doesn’t it imply the opposite?

I guess it could, and maybe that’s more plausible, but my thinking was that if it did, why even have them in the game in the first place, and so now being able to sell them means that there’s also going to be a way to use them.
In other words, if they’re going to be just a thing to acquire only to immediately sell off, okay-- there’s plenty of those-- but then why for 25 scrip (as opposed to 1 or 2)? I guess because of the relative difficulty of acquisition, unless that’s changing soon… (I’m thinking as I’m typing here.)
This is more of a wish than a wonder, really.
Well, the methods to acquire them (for example, artifacts at the Prelapsarian Museum, which also gives out 12.5 e items) put them on value with other 12.5 E items, (or 25 Scrip) so it wasn’t entirely unusual.

Making them sellable feels like a mercy to players who collected a bunch of them in the hopes that they would be useful some day. At least now there’s a way to get the value back out of them.

I wonder if we will ever be able to build scorpions. Or wasps. Not bees of course, I am not asking for bees.
The Jet Black Stinger looks like the back half of a primordial scorpion. But I can’t put it on a skeleton and declare it an insect.
Just saying.

Scorpions are arachnids, not insects, and yes, you can already build an arachnid with a tail!

That’s what I get for not looking up the taxonomy first…
The wasp thing still stands though!
Actually, insect skeletons can already have up to four wings in addition to the six legs, so that is taken care of as well
EDIT: after diptych’s comment, I realized for the first time that you meant the lack of stinger-tail on an insect, not a lack of wings. Your point stands!

Put the jet-black stinger on an insect skeleton, then use a knife to remove the length of the tail between the torso and the stinger. Boom - stinging insect.
