Problem

Astral Void quest rewards are significantly undertuned relative to their combat requirements. The zone unlocks after clearing Volcanic Depths (phoenix_lord + the_forge), meaning players arrive with substantial combat power — yet the rewards don't reflect this.

Examples:

void_rift: 300B combat required, 4 hr → zero gold, only 5,000 essence + 500 crystals
star_graveyard: 1.2T combat, 8 hr → 1B gold + 100K essence + 1K crystals

For reference, Frozen Peaks' storm_citadel needs 1.5M combat (200,000× less) and awards 30M gold + 10K essence. The Astral Void combat requirements are ~100,000× higher but gold rewards are only ~33× higher.

The zero-gold reward on void_rift is particularly punishing since players still need gold to hire adventurers.

Fix

Add gold rewards to void_rift and increase gold/essence/crystal rewards across all Astral Void quests to be proportionate to the combat requirements and zone position in the progression curve.
