The droprate for "Coin" has been significantly reduced. Three new tiers of Sack of Coins (Legendary, 50,000, 75,000 and 100,000c) have been added to Lucky Chests.
    • Drop rates for Moe's Mystorium exclusive items are increased so they drop more frequently. We also increased the price of each Moe’s chest. All together, Moe’s chests will cost about twice as much but drop legendary items about three times as much. We also increased the drop rates of epic and rare items to make up for the increase in price, too
