* <strong>Season quest rewards.</strong> (TheCarriedOne)
** Season quests now award a Forbidden Modifier at <strong>level 250</strong>, another every <strong>500 levels</strong>, and 4 at every <strong>1000 levels</strong>.
** If you already claimed rewards beyond those levels, your missing Forbidden Modifiers <strong>have been added</strong> to your Specials.

* <strong>Burn BC rewards distribution changes.</strong> (Shady Bliss)
** Rewards granted for burning BC are now distributed based on a weighted system, rather than set ranks. Thus, all top-ranking players have a chance to win rewards.
** Burning more increases your chance of getting rewards, with diminishing returns.
** Weekly Genesis Eggs and Forbidden Modifiers have guaranteed winners when someone participates. If at least two players qualify, they go to different players.
** The Burn page now shows your current rank, BC burned, initial draw odds, and available prizes. Daily Lunar Shards and first-place trophies still reward leaderboard placement.

* <strong>Forbidden Modifiers overhaul.</strong> (ShadyBliss, Wewert)
** Forbidden Modifier power now provides diminishing returns. The first Modifier is worth about +3.12 levels, and they taper off gradually as more are added.
** All Modifier assignments are cleared and refund was performed to return them as non-expiring Specials in your inventory so you can reassign them.
** Forbidden Modifiers can only be applied to Tools that are at base Level 50.

* <strong>Broadcast history and “Show Old Broadcasts”.</strong> (TheCarriedOne)
** Broadcasts (boss fights, ascensions, relay milestones, special finds, menagerie and museum completions) are <strong>stored in chat history</strong> again.
** There’s a new setting under Gameplay → Show Broadcasts called “<strong>Show Old Broadcasts</strong>“.
** That setting is off by default so chat won’t open filled with older broadcasts; turn it on <strong>if you want broadcasts from before you loaded the game</strong> to stay visible after a reload or reconnect.

* <strong>Announcements behavior.</strong> (Wewert)
** Progression and boss announcements show live but won’t stick in chat after you reconnect or reload.
** Repeated ascension, Museum collection, and Menagerie milestone announcements replace the latest matching entry while you remain connected.
** Discord keeps only the latest announcement in each ephemeral category: ascensions, collection milestones, rare and special finds, solo Ball Pit rolls, and each shared Ball Pit pool warning.
** Relay and boss event announcements still go to the Discord Events channel unchanged.

* <strong>Leaderboard reset notification and reward fixes.</strong> (TheCarriedOne)
** <strong>Duplicate “Trophy earned!” notifications</strong> have been fixed.
** <strong>Ghost “Special” rewards are fixed</strong> so the Specials count matches what you actually receive.
** Both trophy notifications and item rewards are <strong>no longer sent if the reset fails</strong>.
** Leaderboard resets complete much faster and (should?) <strong>no longer trigger errors</strong>.

* <strong>Tool cards and augment info.</strong> (TheCarriedOne)
** If you own a <strong>Forbidden Modifier</strong>, your tool card now shows a new row so you can <strong>apply it directly</strong> (no picker needed).
** Tool modal augment gemerald card content has been <strong>reordered</strong> to better match the game-wide cards. Hovering the time remaining shows the full time tooltip as majority other places.
** <strong>Hovering an active augment</strong> gem icon on the sidebar tool card also shows its exact time remaining.

* <strong>Custom item categories.</strong> (TheCarriedOne)
** Create your <strong>own item categories</strong>: give them a name, emoji, set items and order.
** Pinned items become the reserved “Pinned” category. You may or may not continue using it.
** <strong>Reorder and hide</strong> any Items section (built-in ones too).
** Museum, Specials, and My Listings are now <strong>reorderable and sortable</strong> too.
** Sidebar quick-items: pick which categories appear there.
** Search now <strong>filters inside the categorized view</strong> (it no longer drops you to a flat list), auto-expands any collapsed sections the search matches, and has a clear button.
** Duplicate Relay Network section is now <strong>removed</strong>.
** Specials can be added to <strong>any category, any position</strong>. Pick a specific special (e.g. Calibrated Amplifier for Fish) or use (Any) to add all variants at once.
** The old per-device “pinned specials” list is replaced by category membership, so you’ll <strong>need to re-add any specials</strong> you had pinned.

* <strong>Specials management UX overhaul.</strong> (TheDepartedOne)
** The <strong>Use</strong> button for Calibrated Amplifiers (and similar Specials) now respects the real server cooldown – it stays disabled for the full cooldown even after the boost effect ends, so what you see matches what the server enforces.
** Countdowns and “Expires in…” labels now respect clock skew between your client and the server, so timers won’t jump or disagree if your clock is a bit off.
** Inventory grouping: in the Specials section you can toggle <strong>Group</strong> (defaults on). When grouped, multiple variants of the same Special collapse into one row showing total count and the nearest expiry. Click the “N types” / secondary button to view all variants.
** Type-group modal: clicking a grouped row (or using certain text commands) opens a modal showing every variant of that Special type so you can pick which exact copy to use.
** New text command: you can now use Specials by type name with <code>/special/use &lt;type&gt; &#91;action&#93;</code>. Examples: If you call <code>/special/use</code> with no args you get a clickable list in chat that fills your chat box when clicked – handy!
** Arbitrary Amplifier picker now disables action buttons when that action already has the server-side max active boosts, and shows a countdown to the nearest expiry so you know when you can add another.
