Chest updates

Hey folks,

There seems to be a bit of a grumble over the chests, so we've decided to make a few changes to them.

Firstly, we've removed the chance for the main prize to be grimstim pills, phoenix hearts, or bull's eye. When originally introduced, these items were rare and useful. Nowadays, they're easy to get and are less desirable as a prize and seem to be the main source of complaints. We've moved to the minor prize slot in the chests, so you can still obtain them, they just won't block out the major prizes. Those of you who have already opened chests since the month started will receive a replacement chest for any chest you opened that contained one of those three items.

Secondly, all the new relic pieces can be rerolled or traded in. The racial relic pieces have a tradein value of 10cr, and the rest have a tradein value of 5cr. We've also increased the number of relic pieces that will drop when you hit the roll for them. Two racial relic pieces will now drop if you get that roll, and four of the normal relics will drop for their roll. Those of you who have already got those rolls this month will be receiving extra relic pieces to make up for that.

And lastly, if you purchase 15 or more chests at once, you'll instantly receive a racial relic piece - one per 15 chests. Once again, will be giving these out to those of you who have already purchased.

Please bear with me on the retroactive handouts - I am doing it all manually so it may take a while for you to get them.

Penned by my hand on the 25th of Lanosian, in the year 423 MA.
