Guilds
As with every new month, the guilds have new targets. You have until the end of this month to complete them and claim your tokens in each world! You can also continue progressing on Gondwana's Specialist tasks. The targets aren't to your liking? Masters can choose to drop suggestions in Gondwana's guildhall for the next month!
Bonus updates
All yours, Sora!
While everyone's attention had been grabbed by Cimmeria and it's world-ending activities, we've had some large updates going on in the background!
First and most exitingly, the new Discount Exchange Rooms are now live, within Gondwana's Guildhall Basement and within the Horsemen Reception Hall in Laurasia's Creeper Citadel!
These two rooms allow you to cash in your items for emeralds in the same manner as the Exchange Counter, but for discounted rates! Trades have been split up between 7 vendors, each relating to the 6 Guilds of Creeper's Lab, and also one for the Horseman Guild.
You must be a Master rank in the related Guild to use the related vendors, or part of the Horseman Guild to use that vendor. A full list of which vendors have what discounted trades can be found here!
Speaking of the Horseman Guild, Acolyte Token Submissions have been moved into the Lobby! Find them now behind the "Survival" Creeper in the Survival World hallway, with a new single-button application system!
Easier to access and easier to apply each month!
The next update is something that spans across all science areas, and Guilds as well!
Dubbed the Economy Update, nearly all vendors across the Challenge Areas have been rebalanced to have a more-even distribution of value across the areas, and more uniform tradeins for the various currencies we have.
Many of the Moosemart traders, as well as Guild Vendors, have been updated with new trades for more recently added items, including the Exchange Counter. For a full list of the changes made this month, please see the Master Changelog!
Challenge Area currencies and drops have been reworked to allow for the use of a "Core" currency for each area, which are the following:
- End, Dragon Priests: Dragon Shards
- Hunter's Lodge: Hunter's Mark
- Wychwood: Wychwood Shards
- Snowhead: Lich Shards
- Shattered Sands: Demon Shards
- Fight Kiln: Pure Gold Ore
- Shoals of the Departed: Abyssal Shards
- Isle of Insanity: Madness Shards
What this means is, for all drops and random prizes possible across the challenge areas, trades and methods now exist to convert items down into these "Core" currenices, so no drop need build up and be useless once it's main purpose has been served.
Along with these edits, some massive trade-based Quality of Life improvements have been added for Wychwood, Snowhead, Shattered Sands, and Shoals of the Departed. Check them all out! (Also recorded in the Master Changelog)
Last but not least, something that all the above improvements and changes have been building to...
Introducing Transverse Tokens!
What's a Transverse Token you ask? Well, with all our areas now more aligned with their values, it's a way to transfer that value between the Core Currencies and more! Have an excess of Demon Shards in Shattered Sands and want to transfer them to Abyssal Shards in Shoals? Well now you can!
The Guilds of Creeper's Lab get in on this action as well!
Introducing, Multidisciplinary Guild Tokens! These tokens function similiarly to Transverse Tokens between the 6 Guilds in the Gondwana Masters Guildhall, allowing you to transfer unused Guild Tokens from one Guild you're a Master of to another (For a small cost). Along with this, Multidisiplinary Tokens can be transfered to Transverse Tokens as well!
(Limit to one TT to one MDT once a month, for each Guild you're a master of. Similiar restriction exists for Hunter's Mark into Transverse Tokens, limit 1 per month.)
Transverse Tokens also act as a new potential Event Reward, being able to be cashed out in whichever area the user desires, as we're now seeing with the secret reward for the Cimmeria Event!
Keep a look out for future expansions and uses with this lucrative new cross-area currency!
Special thanks to Twixxi and Rebbica007 for their assistance with the planning and implementation of all these new features! And many more to come!
