[PvE] Content/Progression

We've gotten a lot of feedback from y'all and someone flavorize the flavorizer - I mean, this is the progression of PvE progression its way too fucking late at night just enjoy this flavor text

• Twilight Luna enhancing gold cost reduced by 25%
• [Legacy Ice Dragon (8-man)] plates and talismans now drop 2 bound per player and 2 party rollable
• You can no longer use Health Pots in [Legacy Ice Dragon (4-man)] Deferred due to DN spaghetti code
• Guardian Nest Guardian boss fight timer extended from 5 minutes to 7 minutes
• Added several upcoming new progression items to the game

For those of you in the gearing-up process, especially around the Ardent Dawn area, we're still working on changes to make it less... cancerous (and as much as we'd like to point out that those before you had no problems with it, well... again, there still hasn't been an RDN VC clear in over two weeks now and the system is designed around regularly clearing RDN VC). Stay tuned! 💫

Since the event was so successful, we decided to keep some of the drop increases as a permanent change. Here are the drop rate increases that are now permanently active:

• Garnet and Garnet Fragments drop rate x2
• Pillowsheep Stuffing drop rate x2
• Black Dragon Nest HC drop drop rate x2 (except Vahrcoins)
• Black Dragon Memoria drop rate x2
• Red Dragon Memoria drop rate x3 (event was x4)
• Red Dragon Nest HC and VC Wrath and Scale drop rate x2

Lumens

When we originally thought up the Lumens system we intended to add it to basically every mainstream bit of content we have, but due to various factors we didn't. But now we are!

• Existing [Lumens] that you have are now [Box of Lumens] and are worth 100 [Lumens]. Convert to the new [Lumens] by right clicking on them or using an [Automatic Box Opener].
• Crafting options that require Lumens are adjusted proportionally (multiplied by 100) or require [Box of Lumens]
• You can convert 100 [Lumens] to a [Box of Lumens] at NPC Zeke
• The new [Lumens] stack up to 32,000 and now drop from the following:
  

We know that some of these appear to have some significant downward bias in terms of lumens/minute especially in the lower content, but we're taking this conservatively due to several factors (including some non-obvious ones). We'll likely ramp some of these up based on monitoring and certain factors being taken care of later.

New NPC: Kaye

• The Ice Dragon EXC shop has been moved from Zeke to a new NPC, Kaye
• Kaye also has the Midnight Crest and Frost Talisman shops (see below)
• You can also exchange 100 [Lumens] for 1 [Box of Lumens] (in case you start running out of space for lumens)

Midnight Crests and Frost Talismans

TL;DR you can now buy the base talis/crest you want (e.g. Brutal, Wise) using fragments/essences, and you can now reroll talis/crests into ones that guarantee a third stat.

• You can now purchase Midnight Crests/Frost Talismans of a specific type from [Kaye], at 2 fragments/essences each
• You can now purchase Midnight Crest Rerollers and Frost Talismans from [Kaye], at 6 fragments/essences each
• Using a reroller converts a crest/talisman into its Infused version, which is guaranteed to have a third stat; rates are available on Minerva as usual
• You can continue to reroll an Infused crest/talisman to try for another third stat (they're tradable too!)

Weapon Rewards Shop

Special thanks to Salad and new developer Assfking for making these shops happen much quicker than anticipated.

Dust off your weapons as we bring back old-but-gold weapons. Each class will have weapons of various grades from previous caps. Weapons vary at 100, 200, or 300 warrior trophies.

Note: The sword shop has moved here.

If your desired weapon is not in the shop, do make a request in the discord. - Assfking
