Problem

Shadow Marshes quest rewards are significantly undertuned relative to their combat requirements. The zone requires 5M–300M combat power, yet the rewards are tiny compared to Frozen Peaks quests which demand far less combat power but reward far more.

Examples:

shadow_mere: 5M combat required, 45 min duration → only 150 essence, no gold
witch_coven: 20M combat required, 90 min → only 500 essence + Shadow Assassin unlock
sunken_temple: 80M combat, 2 hr → 2M gold + 1,500 essence (reasonable)
plague_ruins: 300M combat, 3 hr → 8M gold + 2,000 essence (still low)

For context, Frozen Peaks' frozen_wastes needs only 100K combat and rewards 5M gold + 100 crystals.

Fix

Increase gold and essence rewards for shadow_mere, witch_coven, and plague_ruins to better reflect their combat requirements and position in the progression curve.
