Let me tell you about it: that dust wasn’t something my priestess would get to keep. It appeared in little bounded squares in the loot from kobolds, and I was supposed to collect ten and return them to someone who’d sent me on a quest. I don’t remember who it was, and in the grand scheme of things, he wasn’t going to matter to my play. That dust wasn’t useful, or really even pretty or fascinating. In short, collecting the dust was not an intrinsically motivating part of gameplay.
Part one of my quest for a horse.
