I'm playing through Lost in Mirkwood with a Dale deck I built where there is a treachery card that punishes you for having resources (you have to discard them all then raise your threat by the number discarded).
I was using Necklace of Girion for resource generation (and willpower boost):
QuoteGuarded (enemy or location).
Attach to a hero.
Attached hero gets +2[willpower] and collects an additional resource during the resource phase.
Can the ability of Necklace of Girion be ignored if I decide I have too many resources or is it mandatory? (Steward of Gondor has to be exhausted to generate resources, so you can effectively turn it off if you start accumulating too many.) And if I can, will I also lose the willpower boost?
