Happy New Year and we are back with the first update of the year!

Balance Changes

During the break weve been able to take some time to play and in the process done a lot of rebalancing and tweaks. The highlights:

• Rebalanced coin rewards after matches. Coin reward is now around the value of 1 stone at the start of the run and around the value of 2 stones towards the end.
• Starter stones are no longer offered by the traders
• Gemologist has been slightly nerfed
• Rebalanced Soapstone and tibetan quartz
