⛰️ The spawn contains an outpost again.
❓ Looking for some help? There are plenty of NPCs explaining all the features.
🔑 A new seasonal crate has been added again.
🗡️New! Duels
In order to have a healthy competitive environment players should be able to prove themselves who is better, and what is a better way of doing that by adding a brand new Duel System.
With this new Duel System, you can 1v1 opponents for fun, or for some huge wagers, the choice is yours.
🛡️ Start by dueling a player.
You will be able to send a duel request to a player using the /duel command. If I want to duel voodootje0, I will type /duel voodootje0. voodootje0 will be able to accept or deny this request. Before sending the Duel Request you will be promoted with a menu for some settings for that Duel. You can toggle the usage of enchants within these duels and ender pearls. These settings will be saved once you have selected them once, but you can spice it up and change them for any future battle as well.

📦 Lock in your inventory.
Upon accepting a duel request an inventory will open where you can select the items that you are bringing into this duel. Each player can click items from their inventory to be added to the Duel Kit. Both players will have to accept or deny the selected items, once you have settled on the items it's time for the wager.

👛 Select the wager.
After accepting the duel items it's time to place your bets. Will you be playing for the inventory, or should you keep the items that you bring into this fight?
You can choose both options. On top of that, you can put in money and items as well. Simply increase or decrease the amount of money by clicking the icons shown within this menu.
You can drop in items into this menu as well simply by clicking on them inside your inventory. Make sure you have everything ready because you can not take out these items after already accepting the duel request.

🤺 Time to fight!
Once you have agreed on the items being brought in the duel, and the rewards it is time to fight. You and your opponent will be teleported into an arena where you can fight to the death. The winner is decided by killing your opponent.
After the fight is over and the winner has been decided you can pick up your won items from the /maildelivery. The wagered money will automatically go into your account.
👺 New! Masks
The Bosses in the mines have been around for quite some time and there has been an ongoing investigation on where they got their powers from. After weeks of research, they finally made it possible to extract the power of a boss into an item that you, the player, can use! These are called Masks. These Masks will give you a crazy boost once applied to your favorite helmet. There will be 8 masks in total, as there are 8 bosses.

These masks can be obtained from Boss Loot bags, making it more worth killing a boss and earning that loot bag.
Here are the 8 masks that you can find in-game:

🚩 New! Island Strikes
OpSkyBlock is becoming more and more competitive with the Island Top and as a server, we want to make sure this competition goes as fair and square as possible! Because of this, we will be adding our striking system to OpSkyBlock as well, introducing the Island Strikes. There are multiple OpSkyBlock rules, and once your Island Breaks these rules you will receive an amount of Island Strikes, depending on which rule was broken.
Here is a list of strike-able offenses:
Cooperative island spamEconomy ScriptTracker BotsIsland-wide Cheating
Flooding the chat as an island and making it unreadable will result in an island punishment instead of a standard warning/mute. This means if there are multiple island members sending the same message or similar in the public chat with the goal of spamming, the island will get struck. Does not apply when the entire server is typing 'L', 'LOL', or similar when someone gets banned/struck/etc.Using any form of modification (which does not apply to automatic mob farms) to automatically grind resources for the island. Includes alt accounts.Tracker bots are bots automated to track vanished staff.Having 3 or more players from your island banned for cheating-related offenses, screen share bans, ban evasions of cheating-related bans or ban evasions of screen share bans. Kicking the players and cheating on alts are also included.
First offense: 1 strike
Second offense: 2 strikes
Third offense: 3 strikes
Fourth offense: 4 strikes

First offense: 4 strikes + a cheating ban for the involved user
Second offense: 6 strikes + a cheating ban for the involved user
First offense: 3 strikes
Second offense: 4 strikes
Third offense: 5 strikes

First offense: 5 strikes
Second offense: 6 strikes
Server AbuseSharing ValueBoosting ValueStrike Evasion
Crashing, exploiting bugs, duping, and similar. Even if one person from your island does it, the entire island may get affected. This will lead to the abuser getting banned and your island getting struck and possibly disqualified (depending on the severity of the offense).Boosting other islands with spawners, money, or other currencies for them to achieve an Island Top place or similar. Includes trading money/spawners for Buycraft and similar.
Boosting an island’s value through shady or illegal ways. This includes having accounts on multiple islands, making a public grinder to get people to grind heads for you for /competition, giving away large amounts of spawners/money, and similar.

Evading strikes by making a new island or 2+ members leaving the struck island and joining another island. If it’s only one player, the leader of the island will be asked to kick the user, and punished if they refuse to do so.
First offense: 4 strikes
Second offense: 8 strikes
First offense: 10 strikesFirst offense: 10 strikesFirst offense: 10 strikes
These strikes would not mean anything without the appropriate punishment, which is why there will be a punishment on your island based on the number of strikes you have.
Those punishments are the following:
2 Strikes - 5% value reduction
4 Strikes - 10% value reduction
5 Strikes - 15% value reduction
6 Strikes - 20% value reduction
7 Strikes - 25% value reduction
8 Strikes - 30% value reduction
10 Strikes - Disqualification from Island Top
With this change, we hope to make a more healthy competitive environment for those players who are participating in the Island Top. We wish all islands good luck on this next season!
⏰ New! Play Time Rewards
Get rewards by simply playing. How great does that sound? Too good to be true? We agree! However, it's happening this season. You will be able to claim different milestones simply by reaching the required playtime. Upon your first login this season your playtime will start, the more you play, the more rewards you will be able to claim this season.
Start out by typing /playrewards and you will find a menu with different tiers of rewards that you can claim, each tier will have a higher requirement of playtime, the further you progress, the better the rewards will be, and all of that for free, how amazing is that.
🔮 New! Island Power Crystal
Your island just does not feel like home without a core of your island. Starting from this season we will be adding the Island Power Crystal. The Island Power Crystal is the beating heart of your island and requires to be taken care of in order to progress beyond the limits.
Crystal Points
We want to reward grinding, which is why this new Island Power Crystal can help you out with Island Value as well. You can now choose to store your Mine World resources, instead of selling them. Your Island Power Crystal will work as storage holding these Mine World materials together and forging them straight into Crystal Points.
These Crystal Points will then be converted into straight island value. This will add a whole new level of going for island top, as there is no limit on how much you can store within this Power Crystal.
Power Crystal Level
Your Island Power Crystal does not only help you to gain Island Value, but it will also give you some extra, permanent, boosts. You can upgrade your Island Power Crystal with souls and mob coins, and boost these currencies once upgraded. The higher your level the higher the boost. Your Island Power Crystal will have a total of 10 levels, giving the following boost.
Level 1
Boost: A 1.05 Souls Boost

📜 New! Quest Vouchers

Quest Vouchers are a new type of voucher that will let you complete a specific Quest in order to receive a reward.
These Vouchers will be integrated throughout the game and will be soul-bounded once activated.
A new mysterious gentleman will be making his entrance in OpSkyBlock, The Quest Master.
The Quest Master will sell you a random quest voucher every day, but you can only purchase up to 3 a day, these vouchers will differ in pricing, from money to exp, to mob coins, each day the voucher will cost a different currency.
After activating they will have an expiry time after you have activated them. In order to start the quest simply right-click the voucher to enable it. Your quest will now be active and can be viewed using the /quests command.
Some very hard quests that will be obtained only by going through hell will broadcast your name once you complete them.
There will also be leaderboards for these Quest Vouchers that you can compete in.

📊 Updated! Leaderboards
Statistics are important in a competitive scene, so that is why we want players to stand out, or brag about their achievements. It's okay to be proud, and you should be able to show your accomplishments in style.
Next to that is that we want players to feel and see their own progression, where are they standing, and how much further they have to go to reach a higher spot on the leaderboards, and that is why we will be doing a complete leaderboard revamp.
On every leaderboard, you will now be able to view your exact position. This goes for the leaderboards in spawn and newly introduced leaderboards.
Next to that, the Skills Leaderboard will also receive this improvement.
With many leaderboards being in place we also added a global menu to view every leaderboard category, and run /leaderboards to view them.
These 9 leaderboards will now be displayed in-game:

💰 Top 10 Balance
💀 Top 10 Souls
🔫 Top 10 of all Skill Levels
🔑 Top 10 Crate Keys opened
🌿 Top 10 Custom Crops Harvested
🎚️ Top 10 Player Levels
⛏️ Top 10 of all Mine World Ores Broken
⚔️ Top 10 Kills
🔮 Top 10 Collected Experience
🐉 Updated! Bosses & Mine World
The Bosses were a great addition to OpSkyBlock but we feel like they should have a little bit more impact. So for this season, we will be making the following changes to bosses:
Making it more clear for players
For some players it was unclear where a boss spawns, or when it will spawn, so we will be adding a /bosstimer command, so you can see when a boss will spawn, and on top of that, we will be adding the mine it spawned in with the boss spawn broadcast.
Buff Boss Loot bag
The Boss Loot bag should be worth the grind, so we will be giving it a good buff, making it worth your time. Next to the new masks we will be adding some extra valuable items and buffing some of the current rewards.
Make the Mine World clear for players
As well as making the bosses more clear we also want the Mine World to have more detailed information available for the players. This is why we will be adding more help commands and a help GUI for the Mine World, showing clear information about each mine and the bosses & mobs around it.
A change in drops
It has been quite confusing, having two different enchanted materials, and about time that we changed that. From now on the Mine World will no longer just drop enchanted versions of an ingot, but they will all have a unique name so it is more clear which resources you are talking about.
Boss Evolvers
Boss Evolvers are items that can be used to evolve a boss into a stronger version of it. Evolving the boss will make the boss not only stronger but will also make it drop better loot.
🏝️ Updated! Island Upgrades
It's been a while since we added some island upgrades, so for this season we will be adding 2 new ones, those 2 new island upgrades are:

Spawners Spawn Rate - Spawner levels will now increase the Spawn rate by 25% per level!
Crops Growth Rate - Crops levels will now increase the Growth rate by 10% per level!


🆙 Updated! Ingame Ranks
Let's just head straight into it, we will be removing the Ingame Ranks. With the addition of play time rewards and the player levels, we feel like having in-game ranks just adds too many different things that all serve the same purpose. We always loved the idea of in-game ranks but with these new features, we are sure that the in-game ranks do not fit the current standard of OpSkyBlock anymore, which is why we will be removing them.
With the in-game ranks came in-game kits, we know that a lot of players used these kits, so they will not get lost, these kits will now be obtainable through the player levels, once you have reached the higher levels you will get access to the old kits provided by the in-game ranks.
The extra island member slots have also been moved to 3 different player-level rewards.

⚙️ Fixed! Bugs
We did our best to polish and fix as many existing bugs inside the OpSkyBlock server. We have looked through all the bug reports and managed to fix them. If you come across any bugs with the new release, make sure to report them at our forums under the bug reports section.
Here are a few of the bugs we squished out:
  • Fixed bleeding lasting way too long and applying too often.
  • Fixed not being able to click anvils when having a key.
  • Fixed Glass Breaker Rune duplicating glass sometimes.
  • Fixed experience not being saved when you die as a SkyGod.
  • Fixed the bosses randomly despawning.
  • Fixed spawner levels sometimes reset.
  • Fixed not receiving your money when selling offline from the Auction House.
  • Fixed infinite chest dropping 2 chests.
  • Fixed a rare issue of player vaults resetting randomly.
  • Fixed a rare issue of losing your inventory randomly.
  • Fixed all mob drops.
  • Fixed not being able to enter OpSkyBlock for some people.
  • and many more.
📑 Misc. Updates and changes.
After receiving some suggestions about modifying a couple of things, we have decided to make the following modifications in order to make everyone's Factions experience much better. We have modified a few features which were present on the previous map, and here is the list including those modifications, along with a justification for the majority:
  • Updated all plugins.​
  • Updated /payouts menu.​
  • Updated help commands.​
  • Added a new tier of supply drops.​
  • Added a new seasonal GKit.
  • Fixed the get started NPC not working once you own an island.
  • Added a /minion command.
  • Reduced value of villager spawner
  • Re-did some of the outpost rewards.

Please note: Any suggestions for changes feel free to leave them in the comments.

Crystal Points
We want to reward grinding, which is why this new Island Power Crystal can help you out with Island Value as well. You can now choose to store your Mine World resources, instead of selling them. Your Island Power Crystal will work as storage holding these Mine World materials together and forging them straight into Crystal Points.
These Crystal Points will then be converted into straight island value. This will add a whole new level of going for island top, as there is no limit on how much you can store within this Power Crystal.
Power Crystal Level
Your Island Power Crystal does not only help you to gain Island Value, but it will also give you some extra, permanent, boosts. You can upgrade your Island Power Crystal with souls and mob coins, and boost these currencies once upgraded. The higher your level the higher the boost.

📜 New! Quest Vouchers

Quest Vouchers are a new type of voucher that will let you complete a specific Quest in order to receive a reward.
These Vouchers will be integrated throughout the game and will be soul-bounded once activated.
A new mysterious gentleman will be making his entrance in OpSkyBlock, The Quest Master.
The Quest Master will sell you a random quest voucher every day, but you can only purchase up to 3 a day, these vouchers will differ in pricing, from money to exp, to mob coins, each day the voucher will cost a different currency.
After activating they will have an expiry time after you have activated them. In order to start the quest simply right-click the voucher to enable it. Your quest will now be active and can be viewed using the /quests command.
Some very hard quests that will be obtained only by going through hell will broadcast your name once you complete them.
There will also be leaderboards for these Quest Vouchers that you can compete in.

📊 Updated! Leaderboards
Statistics are important in a competitive scene, so that is why we want players to stand out, or brag about their achievements. It's okay to be proud, and you should be able to show your accomplishments in style.
Next to that is that we want players to feel and see their own progression, where are they standing, and how much further they have to go to reach a higher spot on the leaderboards, and that is why we will be doing a complete leaderboard revamp.
On every leaderboard, you will now be able to view your exact position. This goes for the leaderboards in spawn and newly introduced leaderboards.
Next to that, the Skills Leaderboard will also receive this improvement.
With many leaderboards being in place we also added a global menu to view every leaderboard category, and run /leaderboards to view them.
These 9 leaderboards will now be displayed in-game:

💰 Top 10 Balance
💀 Top 10 Souls
🔫 Top 10 of all Skill Levels
🔑 Top 10 Crate Keys opened
🌿 Top 10 Custom Crops Harvested
🎚️ Top 10 Player Levels
⛏️ Top 10 of all Mine World Ores Broken
⚔️ Top 10 Kills
🔮 Top 10 Collected Experience
🐉 Updated! Bosses & Mine World
The Bosses were a great addition to OpSkyBlock but we feel like they should have a little bit more impact. So for this season, we will be making the following changes to bosses:
Making it more clear for players
For some players it was unclear where a boss spawns, or when it will spawn, so we will be adding a /bosstimer command, so you can see when a boss will spawn, and on top of that, we will be adding the mine it spawned in with the boss spawn broadcast.
Buff Boss Loot bag
The Boss Loot bag should be worth the grind, so we will be giving it a good buff, making it worth your time. Next to the new masks we will be adding some extra valuable items and buffing some of the current rewards.
Make the Mine World clear for players
As well as making the bosses more clear we also want the Mine World to have more detailed information available for the players. This is why we will be adding more help commands and a help GUI for the Mine World, showing clear information about each mine and the bosses & mobs around it.
A change in drops
It has been quite confusing, having two different enchanted materials, and about time that we changed that. From now on the Mine World will no longer just drop enchanted versions of an ingot, but they will all have a unique name so it is more clear which resources you are talking about.
Boss Evolvers
Boss Evolvers are items that can be used to evolve a boss into a stronger version of it. Evolving the boss will make the boss not only stronger but will also make it drop better loot.
🏝️ Updated! Island Upgrades
It's been a while since we added some island upgrades, so for this season we will be adding 2 new ones, those 2 new island upgrades are:

Spawners Spawn Rate - Spawner levels will now increase the Spawn rate by 25% per level!
Crops Growth Rate - Crops levels will now increase the Growth rate by 10% per level!


🆙 Updated! Ingame Ranks
Let's just head straight into it, we will be removing the Ingame Ranks. With the addition of play time rewards and the player levels, we feel like having in-game ranks just adds too many different things that all serve the same purpose. We always loved the idea of in-game ranks but with these new features, we are sure that the in-game ranks do not fit the current standard of OpSkyBlock anymore, which is why we will be removing them.
With the in-game ranks came in-game kits, we know that a lot of players used these kits, so they will not get lost, these kits will now be obtainable through the player levels, once you have reached the higher levels you will get access to the old kits provided by the in-game ranks.
The extra island member slots have also been moved to 3 different player-level rewards.

⚙️ Fixed! Bugs
We did our best to polish and fix as many existing bugs inside the OpSkyBlock server. We have looked through all the bug reports and managed to fix them. If you come across any bugs with the new release, make sure to report them at our forums under the bug reports section.
Here are a few of the bugs we squished out:
  • Fixed bleeding lasting way too long and applying too often.
  • Fixed not being able to click anvils when having a key.
  • Fixed Glass Breaker Rune duplicating glass sometimes.
  • Fixed experience not being saved when you die as a SkyGod.
  • Fixed the bosses randomly despawning.
  • Fixed spawner levels sometimes reset.
  • Fixed not receiving your money when selling offline from the Auction House.
  • Fixed infinite chest dropping 2 chests.
  • Fixed a rare issue of player vaults resetting randomly.
  • Fixed a rare issue of losing your inventory randomly.
  • Fixed all mob drops.
  • Fixed not being able to enter OpSkyBlock for some people.
  • and many more.
📑 Misc. Updates and changes.
After receiving some suggestions about modifying a couple of things, we have decided to make the following modifications in order to make everyone's Factions experience much better. We have modified a few features which were present on the previous map, and here is the list including those modifications, along with a justification for the majority:
  • Updated all plugins.​
  • Updated /payouts menu.​
  • Updated help commands.​
  • Added a new tier of supply drops.​
  • Added a new seasonal GKit.
  • Fixed the get started NPC not working once you own an island.
  • Added a /minion command.
  • Reduced value of villager spawner
  • Re-did some of the outpost rewards.

Please note: Any suggestions for changes feel free to leave them in the comments.

🏛️New! Spawn
A new season means a brand new spawn. We are going back in time with this new (but old) prehistoric theme.
🦖 A new spawn with a prehistoric theme.
⛰️ The spawn contains an outpost again.
❓ Looking for some help? There are plenty of NPCs explaining all the features.
🔑 A new seasonal crate has been added again.
🗡️New! Duels
In order to have a healthy competitive environment players should be able to prove themselves who is better, and what is a better way of doing that by adding a brand new Duel System.
With this new Duel System, you can 1v1 opponents for fun, or for some huge wagers, the choice is yours.
🛡️ Start by dueling a player.
You will be able to send a duel request to a player using the /duel command. If I want to duel voodootje0, I will type /duel voodootje0. voodootje0 will be able to accept or deny this request. Before sending the Duel Request you will be promoted with a menu for some settings for that Duel. You can toggle the usage of enchants within these duels and ender pearls. These settings will be saved once you have selected them once, but you can spice it up and change them for any future battle as well.

📦 Lock in your inventory.
Upon accepting a duel request an inventory will open where you can select the items that you are bringing into this duel. Each player can click items from their inventory to be added to the Duel Kit. Both players will have to accept or deny the selected items, once you have settled on the items it's time for the wager.

👛 Select the wager.
After accepting the duel items it's time to place your bets. Will you be playing for the inventory, or should you keep the items that you bring into this fight?
You can choose both options. On top of that, you can put in money and items as well. Simply increase or decrease the amount of money by clicking the icons shown within this menu.
You can drop in items into this menu as well simply by clicking on them inside your inventory. Make sure you have everything ready because you can not take out these items after already accepting the duel request.

🤺 Time to fight!
Once you have agreed on the items being brought in the duel, and the rewards it is time to fight. You and your opponent will be teleported into an arena where you can fight to the death. The winner is decided by killing your opponent.
After the fight is over and the winner has been decided you can pick up your won items from the /maildelivery. The wagered money will automatically go into your account.
👺 New! Masks
The Bosses in the mines have been around for quite some time and there has been an ongoing investigation on where they got their powers from. After weeks of research, they finally made it possible to extract the power of a boss into an item that you, the player, can use! These are called Masks. These Masks will give you a crazy boost once applied to your favorite helmet. There will be 8 masks in total, as there are 8 bosses.

These masks can be obtained from Boss Loot bags, making it more worth killing a boss and earning that loot bag.
Here are the 8 masks that you can find in-game:
🐂 Taurus Mask

🚩 New! Island Strikes
OpSkyBlock is becoming more and more competitive with the Island Top and as a server, we want to make sure this competition goes as fair and square as possible! Because of this, we will be adding our striking system to OpSkyBlock as well, introducing the Island Strikes. There are multiple OpSkyBlock rules, and once your Island Breaks these rules you will receive an amount of Island Strikes, depending on which rule was broken.
Here is a list of strike-able offenses:
Cooperative island spamEconomy ScriptTracker BotsIsland-wide Cheating
Flooding the chat as an island and making it unreadable will result in an island punishment instead of a standard warning/mute. This means if there are multiple island members sending the same message or similar in the public chat with the goal of spamming, the island will get struck. Does not apply when the entire server is typing 'L', 'LOL', or similar when someone gets banned/struck/etc.Using any form of modification (which does not apply to automatic mob farms) to automatically grind resources for the island. Includes alt accounts.Tracker bots are bots automated to track vanished staff.Having 3 or more players from your island banned for cheating-related offenses, screen share bans, ban evasions of cheating-related bans or ban evasions of screen share bans. Kicking the players and cheating on alts are also included.
First offense: 1 strike
Second offense: 2 strikes
Third offense: 3 strikes
Fourth offense: 4 strikes

First offense: 4 strikes + a cheating ban for the involved user
Second offense: 6 strikes + a cheating ban for the involved user
First offense: 3 strikes
Second offense: 4 strikes
Third offense: 5 strikes

First offense: 5 strikes
Second offense: 6 strikes
Server AbuseSharing ValueBoosting ValueStrike Evasion
Crashing, exploiting bugs, duping, and similar. Even if one person from your island does it, the entire island may get affected. This will lead to the abuser getting banned and your island getting struck and possibly disqualified (depending on the severity of the offense).Boosting other islands with spawners, money, or other currencies for them to achieve an Island Top place or similar. Includes trading money/spawners for Buycraft and similar.
Boosting an island’s value through shady or illegal ways. This includes having accounts on multiple islands, making a public grinder to get people to grind heads for you for /competition, giving away large amounts of spawners/money, and similar.

Evading strikes by making a new island or 2+ members leaving the struck island and joining another island. If it’s only one player, the leader of the island will be asked to kick the user, and punished if they refuse to do so.
First offense: 4 strikes
Second offense: 8 strikes
First offense: 10 strikesFirst offense: 10 strikesFirst offense: 10 strikes
These strikes would not mean anything without the appropriate punishment, which is why there will be a punishment on your island based on the number of strikes you have.
Those punishments are the following:
2 Strikes - 5% value reduction
4 Strikes - 10% value reduction
5 Strikes - 15% value reduction
6 Strikes - 20% value reduction
7 Strikes - 25% value reduction
8 Strikes - 30% value reduction
10 Strikes - Disqualification from Island Top
With this change, we hope to make a more healthy competitive environment for those players who are participating in the Island Top. We wish all islands good luck on this next season!

The first time I played in Pika was through a friend's recommendation, it's been 1 month already (:p). Hopefully the new season the community will be less toxic and more interesting, the server will have more features

Balance the economy
The current server economy is totally broken since last reset and the current update doesn't help in anyways in fixing it
My suggestion for fixing the economy
Increase the spawners price everytime an island hits certain amount of similar type of spawners
Example
An island has 900 spawner limit and each spawners has 250 cap which makes it 900*250=225k spawners
So my suggestion is making the price taking enchanted villager as an example-
From 0-300 enchanted villager spawners(300/900)
The price be the normal 6.5b
From 301-600 enchanted villager spawners(600/900)
the price be 6.5b*2
From 601-900 enchanted villager spawners(900/900)
the price be 6.5b*3
Increasing the spawners limit to 1.2k might be even more helpful

That isn't fixing the economy that is limiting what you can do with your money. We are aware that there is a lot of money that is getting easier to obtain each season but adding limitations to what you can buy isn't going to fully help that, it's only going to make it more annoying for players to progress. We are still looking in to ways to improve it but I am not sure if that's the way to go.

How about limiting sellwand and booster stacking in order to reduce economy inflation? (Not saying get rid of it, maybe just set a limit?)

Please add a victory screen to bedwars I have already suggested it and it has also been accepted so can you make the change if possible before the update

I am sure this season is going to be awesome! Love the strike system, the boss timer and playtime rewards. I think the mine boss masks and the playtime rewards could actually help the economy. The huge gap in the balances of players is sometimes because of cheats tbh so I for one think the strikes would be fair. Also getting people to do levels for better kits is also going to help the economy(hopefully).
P.S. Love the backstories and description of bosses and their drops. Cheers to whoever came up with that :yaychu:
