    But wait.... so they're making Science System trivial as well?

    on top of the map, all the buildings and else... now i realized they're trivializing Science System as well.

    Return to the Bandit's Nest - unlimited purchase for puny 95 presents and tradable.

    here's a screen of (purported) loot table:

    I think they were putting some books in the xmas calendar, too.

    yeah, but that's one-off... that's fair,

    Currently, to make 1 Codex at "maximum" level, fully buffed with glue takes about a week (to make all the tomes and manuscripts)... now you can just buy unlimited number of adventures and obtain books in 1/20 of the time.

    I understand tweaking the system, but this "patch" (including the changes mentioned above) is going way too far, and obviously without much foresight (as there are tons of indirect side-effects that will only become apparent once the system fully in play)

    I think this is great for the loot table.

    Currently, if these were not a part of the loot table, there's no reason to do these maps. They're trash maps.

    And I would hardly consider it making science trivial. Science system is broken as is in terms of their scaling cost. These new loot at least gives you a chance to offset the problem.

    Also- realize that Return to Bandits Nest is available ONLY during Xmas event and cost presents only.

    This is hardly trivializing science. Simply making it possible to equip more then a couple of explorers. Map frags being easily made makes the adventures easier to get, which when combined with map frags needing science to make them.....i imagine these books cost a lot more frags to obtain (and paper to make frags) to make then the bookbinder. No - this simply allows us to exceed the trivial limit of the bookbinder.
    More of the same "new" content with a different bow? I will give more of the "same" towards my gem accumulation.
