A game update for Bconomy has been released.

=== Additions ===

* Item Overhaul: Significant changes have been made to Bconomy’s items
** Many unused items have been given new names and crafting recipes and uses
*** Players who owned these old items before the update will still have the same amount of these items, just under the new name
** Some existing crafting recipes have been tweaked to account for changes/new items
* Boost Items: Several items have been added or changed to grant action boosts on use
** These items grant temporary boosts to a specific type of loot-bearing action (Fish, Hunt, Explore, Mine)
** Boost items exist in different “tiers” by crafting difficulty – those that are more difficult to craft grant a longer lasting boost
** Only one of each item may be active at once, but boosts stack multiplicatively with Tools, Events, Perks and other active boost items
* Trophies: Special memorials given to those with exceptional achievements!
** A player’s earned trophies are now viewable
** Trophies that are earned more than once will stack (for ex: a user who achieves top Burn for five days will see a 5x next to the respective trophy)
** Legacy Trophies have been migrated to the new Trophy system and are viewable
* Triumphs: View a user’s crowning achievements on their Profile card
** Highest leaderboard standing for Rank, Balance, Burn and Coinflip are displayed for players who are ranked within the top 1,000
** Users can also select a favorite Trophy to display on their Triumphs section
* UI Improvements: Pins, sorting and more
** Pinning (favoriting) items for fast access is now available on Discord and syncs with Web
** New sorting and display options for Web inventory
* Farm: Clover and Big Log are now growable in plots

=== Changes ===

* Work: Earning rate changes
** Slightly lowered maximum bonus (base earn is unchanged)
** Each Faction level now grants 0.5% earning bonus (down from 1%)
* Misc: Bug fixes, UX improvements, and more
* Backend changes and optimizations
