| Update
| - PowerUp Soulbinding Changes
We'll be changing the properties of PowerUp items so that any PowerUp purchased directly from Back Alley Bargains will be tradable and non-soulbound.
Only the PowerUps gained within the game, as well as those gained from promotional items will continue to stay soulbound. This is done to prevent item farming and marketplace flooding .
Since PowerUps from Back Alley Bargains will be fully tradable and never soulbound, that means that players without access to GCash, as well as international players, will now start to have access to those PowerUps via the Marketplace.
Re-balance of Orb Rewards for Boss Lairs and Mini-Games
When we recently increased the orb rewards for quests and monsters, we didn't increase the rewards for the Lairs, and the Goof Course and Water Fountain games were sorely due for an overhaul to make them rewarding also.
The Lairs now grant orbs more in-keeping with the other rewards you get in those zones. NOTE: You get a lot more orbs in a large crew than you do as a solo player. This compensates for the increased challenge when playing the encounter with a large crew.
The Goof Course gives you *at least* one orb, and considerably more if you beat par for the course. This reward is also scaled by the goofer's overall CL, so if you're a vet, you still get a good reward for going back and playing those games.
The Water Fountain game now rewards you with orbs, increasing in award size for every round BEYOND 12 that you complete. So...you'll start receiving orb rewards from after finishing Round 13. This theoretically has no limit...so give it a try!
Also, the Goof Course and Water Fountain "first try" rewards were increased significantly also.
