Quest max reduced from 168h to 24h (÷7 scaling).
Exploration max reduced from 144h to 12h (÷12 scaling).
Zone 1 quest durations restored to original short values (1–30min).
All inline duration comments updated to reflect new values.
Add 150 crystals to shadow_mere and 500 to witch_coven quest rewards.
Double shadow_marshes boss crystal drops (700->1500, 1500->3000, 3000->6000)
to provide meaningful crystal flow for players reaching Shadow Marshes.
The zone unlocks at 1.5M CP (storm_citadel), making the 5M CP entry
quest unreachable for most players. 2M CP is achievable with Arcane
Scholar and Dragon Rider adventurers without being trivial.
Ten upgrades were dropping 1-2 zones after the adventurer they buff was
no longer meaningful. Moved apprentice_1 to goblin_camp, militia_1 to
haunted_mine, knight_1 to frozen_wastes, peasant_2 to glacier_tomb,
peasant_3 to shadow_mere, and pulled the T27-30 upgrades
(astral_sovereign_1, primordial_mage_1, reality_warden_1,
infinity_ranger_1) and cosmos_knight_1 into their adventurer's own zone.
- Added glacier_tomb (200K combat, 2.5hr) between frozen_wastes and ice_caves
- Added frozen_throne (3M combat, 7hr) after storm_citadel
- Updated ice_caves prerequisite to chain from glacier_tomb
- Frozen Peaks now has 5 quests, in line with other zones
Closes#139
## Summary
Comprehensive balance pass addressing 20 tickets (#103–#122) plus one audit-discovered fix (#123), ensuring no player soft-locks and aligning all content counts with achievements and progression milestones.
### Changes
- **Equipment** (#103–#111): Differentiated all stat pairs so every piece has a unique bonus combination; added missing stats to `eternal_flame` and increased `eternal_prism` multiplier to justify cost tier
- **Recipes** (#112–#115): Added 4 cross-zone crafting recipes requiring materials from multiple zones to incentivise exploration breadth
- **Achievements** (#116–#118): Aligned `fully_equipped` (40→65), `quest_eternal` (72→95), and `boss_eternal` (60→72) thresholds with actual content counts; updated `devourer_slayer` description
- **Quest CP scaling** (#120–#122): Verified and corrected combat power requirements across all zones to follow consistent 4×/4× progression pattern
- **Zone file ordering** (#123): Swapped Frozen Peaks and Shadow Marshes quest sections so file order matches the actual unlock chain (no gameplay change)

## Summary
Addresses all community feedback tickets from the last deploy, plus several UI improvements made during the same session.
### Bug fixes & balance
- **#97** — Fix auto-adventurer tier priority: sort by combat power instead of current cost so the highest-tier affordable unit is always purchased
- **#98** — Add Dark Templar adventurer (80k CP) to bridge the Volcanic Depths progression wall; rewire upgrade and quest rewards accordingly
- **#99** — Reorder and buff Shadow Assassin (55k CP, level 12) so Witch Coven feels rewarding rather than a regression
- **#100** — Display effective Gold/s (all multipliers applied) in the resource bar
- **#101** — Add Peasant tier 2 (10x, essence) and tier 3 (50x, crystals) upgrades for meaningful late-game scaling
### Other fixes
- Sync game state to server before auto-boss challenges (matching manual challenge behaviour)
- Refresh Discord avatar hash on every game load via bot token so stale CDN URLs are corrected automatically
### UI improvements
- Replace Donate / Discord / Support / View Profile / Edit Profile buttons with a single avatar dropdown menu
- Collapse all resources except Gold into a click-to-toggle dropdown; orange alert dot appears when a hidden resource is capped

Closes#95
## Summary
`void_walker` adventurers (130K combat power each) were locked behind `fire_temple`, which requires 4.8B combat power. The best adventurer available before completing that quest was `arcane_scholar` at 45K CP each — meaning players needed ~107K arcane scholars to break through, versus ~37K if they had void walkers. Classic chicken-and-egg wall.
## Changes
- Moved `void_walker` adventurer reward from `fire_temple` to `lava_flows` (the entry quest to Volcanic Depths, no CP requirement)
- Added 40M gold reward to `fire_temple` to replace the removed adventurer unlock
Players now unlock `void_walker` as soon as they enter the zone, giving them the combat power boost before they need to grind toward the temple.

## Summary
Fixes#85. Quest combat power requirements for Shadow Marshes, Volcanic Depths, and Astral Void were all drastically too low, breaking the zone progression curve.
### Root Cause
All three zones appear to have had their `combatPowerRequired` values entered at the wrong magnitude. Shadow Marshes was using K values where M was intended; Volcanic Depths and Astral Void were similarly off, resulting in later zones being trivially easier than earlier ones.
### Changes
| Zone | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Shadow Marshes | 5K / 20K / 80K / 300K | 5M / 20M / 80M / 300M |
| Volcanic Depths | 2M / 8M / 30M / 120M | 1.2B / 4.8B / 18B / 72B |
| Astral Void | 50M / 200M / 800M / 3B | 300B / 1.2T / 4.8T / 18T |
### Progression
All values now maintain a consistent ~×4 multiplier within each zone and ~×4 jump between zones, matching the established pattern from Verdant Vale through Frozen Peaks.
