[22/02/2022] Trophy System and balance changes

# Highlights

• Trophy System "OwO"

Yes, trophy system finally reached Eastmile in his own unique way. It's raid time!!

We adapted this popular feature and is now available for everyone. Collect, merge and upgrade your trophys to get the one better fits your playstyle.

See details if you want to know more about how we redesigned them or how to obtain and upgrade them.

• Gold farming methods balance

Gold farming has been so much profitable for end-game players in terms on gold gained/h, specially on 6.2 maps. Farming gold through this method has been the best way to do it for a long time. It was eclipsing any other activity on the server since this was the worthiest, so we adjusted it. Cooperative activities such Instant Battle or Gold Bosses have been left unchanged.

Also, raiding started to be a problem, players were farming more gold alone on pve maps that what they get on raids. So... why raiding expecting to be lucky when you can buy raid equipment after 1h farming alone? Long story short, raids weren't as worth as they deserve, meanwhile farming was providing an instant amount of guaranteed gold without spending time to manage a raid party.

To deal with this problems, we've decided to reduce the gold obtained from wild mobs, and increase the raid gold gains (More details on the changes section below). In this way, farming alone will became less profitable than raiding.

Of course, we are aware than raiding will be hard because not everyone likes it, so we also prepared an special update to make raids more attractive.

• Quest skip ticket  "Lazy players, this is for you"

We recieved a lot of feedback of people saying questing is boring. As many of you may know, questing in this server is the fastest and most profitable way to reach high levels effortless, since quests are drastically shorter than they are in the original version.

Questing in eastmile from Lv 1 to Lv 90 takes around 4~6 hours, with this ticket you can just skip the early maps of the game and get an starter boost. This item will be available on the shop (Again, more info on the Changes section below)

• NPC Shop for Raid Seals

This suggestion was strongly supported by the community and now seals are available for gold. Check Eastville, Cylloan or Ancelloan commander to see the shop (same NPC as Valyria's daily quest) Old seals farming methods won't be removed from the game.

• Early Game QoL improvements

Some improvements for the early stage of the game. Overall, levels 20~90 will have options to farm gold, while levels 90~93 will have better tools to advance in the game, making easier the jump from 5.2 to 6.1

→ Map minibosses now give better rewards, increased chest drop and improve chest rewards.

→ Low lv Hats & Masks has been reworked.

→ The Fafnir's Curse has been removed from Midgard map (No costume needed now to quest or farm there).

→ Main Quest titles effects have been modified to be useful since the moment you get them.

→ Added new resistances on Ibrahim raid to prepare characters jump from 5.2 to 6.1

→ Much more!
