All drop rates have been adjusted to compensate. Trap crafting cost and xp was adjusted accordingly.
Some of the basic seeds can now be crafted into Seed Oil (Crafting -> General), which can be prepared for bitter and spicy essence.
Totem crafting level now matches the farming level of 50. Crafting cost reduced: Runes: 5k (6k for Coalescing, 0 for Water) -> 1k Stone: 1k -> 400 Additionally each totem is now thematically linked to a skill Earth - Mining Nature - Foraging Water - Fishing Coalescing -> Combat Each totem now has two crafting recipes. One requires early game, one late game resources from the respective skill.
XP from 1x1 seeds was nerfed as mentioned before from 600 to 400. But larger myst seeds now also get more xp, even though the xp per seed still get smaller and smaller the larger the seed is. A 4x4 gets 3280 xp, about half of what 16 1x1 seeds would give.
