Enter Treasure Trove early
I found a treasure trove and an ability to enter it (17 ID scrolls) fairly early in the game. I am XP level 12. Is there any reason why I should hold off spending my 17 ID scrolls now? The only reason to wait I could think of is if you think your skills are not yet set right to influence the acquirement right.
But I should just enter now and hopefully score some goodies early right?
This also leads to the bigger question of should you always enter a trove as soon as you are able?
Thanks.
