She was my favorite investigator in Eldritch Horror. Now she has been reduced to a bottom tier loser. Only investigator in the game with a 1 in the lore skill and a paltry 1 focus.
Shopping in general isn't a very useful thing to do when you can just pass skill checks to get free items during encounters.
P.S. Items that use an action to recover 1 health or 1 sanity are pure garbage when you can pretty easily pick up a different asset to soak damage without using insanely valuable actions.
This is also why Marie is a God tier investigator in new Arkham.
