Combat Gold Generation Overhaul

Monsters have been assigned an internal allowance for how much gold they can drop on average per kill based on their stats and this has been used to re-tune ALL junk drops as well as alter a few unique drops.

Overall, this means similarly leveled monsters will drop similar amounts of raw gold. Specifically:

• Farm/Caves slightly buffed
• City slightly nerfed
• Fallen Academy significantly nerfed
• Lava Maze significantly buffed
• Corrupted Lands moderately buffed
• Valley of Giants significantly nerfed
• Overgrown Woods moderately nerfed
• Enchanted Armory slightly nerfed
• Elven Encampment slightly nerfed
• Chaos Wastes moderately nerfed

In most cases nerfed loot drop have been split into multiple rolls. For visualization purposes, you can consider this the small average "main" roll, and then a lucky "crit" roll that can often double your potential loot for that item. These have been split so that the different looting bonuses (Treasure Hunter, Taxing, Lucky Looter) are able to synergize much more effectively compared to before if you really lean into them.

In some cases I have reduced the vendor value of non-junk items where they make up the bulk of a monster's average kill value. This is most impactful for Giants.

Locations have also been changed! Dungeon caches now no longer drop a ton of random junk items, instead those rolls have been shifted into the Dungeon clear loot itself as the critical loot roll, as well as the baseline average junk from Dungeons being significantly increased across the board.

TL;DR - Loot has been moved from easier combat to harder combat. Less raw gold to combat excessive gold inflation.

Resource Node UI

Nodes will now appear in the location information tooltip, giving you more information on what specifically you have access to and what their odds are

Tradeable Talent Respec Tokens

New Tradeable Talent Respec Tokens have been added to the General Store. All existing Talent Respec Tokens will continue to be their untradeable variants. Untradeable variants will be used before tradeable.
