Hello folks! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer (or any other season!). Life has been keeping me busy unfortunately but I want to provide some updates with the bot and things to look forward to.
️ Summer Campaign
The Summer Campaign will end on August 20th and Quest XP will be locked. Treasure Chests will be usable and Sigils will be distributed to all eligible players, and your Campaign Level will be archived as a displayable trophy. The next campaign, Fall Harvest 2022 begins early September with completely new quests, rewards, and much more!
Faction Update
A Faction Update has been in the works which will completely overhaul the way fleets work. The details are still under wraps for the time being, but will allow factions to earn Items/BC as well as wage war against NPC enemies and other factions. Additional upgrades like Alliances and Faction Perks are also planned!
Pet Expansion
Though this is a long-term goal, a Pet Expansion is being planned which would add a huge amount of depth to Pets. Again, this is a very long-term goal which most likely will not become an addition for at the very least many months, but there are indeed plans to add more gameplay use to Pets. All current Pet stats and progress will be transferred over if/when this expansion goes live.
Backend Changes
Discord has updated their API recently which means that Bconomy will need to undergo some changes to future-proof the game and make sure there aren't any hiccups as more Discord features are added. This means there the next update might be delayed to ensure stability.

As always, thanks for reading!

-Trading is back with /exchange
♻️ Make off-market trades safely and without the risk of scamming with the long-awaited return of /exchange! You are able to specify items to send and receive, and the bot will verify that you and your recipient will be able to make the exchange successfully and also act as a middleman.
-Play against your friends in Rock Paper Scissors with /rps
✂️ Another long-awaited command, /rps is back and better than ever with buttons. You no longer have to go into DMs to play against your friends. Like the exchange command the bot will also ensure fair matches and validate that both you and your opponent have the amount required.
-Daily transfer limits have been fully removed
Due to advances with our logging and auto-detection systems the daily transfer limit has been lifted and no longer affects faction deposit/withdrawal, as well as giving items.
-Finger Snap event pricing tweaks, now always 5x-10x
This change should help balance out the finger snap perk to a good place.
-Button usability fixes and improvements
-"Community Booster" status now auto-managed by bot
-Extreme Difficulty quests rebalanced to account for Commission, new Perk and Boosts
-Additional undocumented improvements, bug fixes, and more!

-New /createalert command – Get alerts whenever the stock market updates or there are new events
Allows users to set a role to ping as well. This command is limited to Patrons for now unfortunately because it is more resource intensive than just sending bot messages. Thanks Good Boy#0001 for the suggestion and feedback!
-Quests are now backed up periodically by the bot and will no longer reset on update or restart
-The /activity command now shows your maximum transfer and time until reset
-Rare items located and autosold, as well as working income, are now displayed on the Activity page
-Activity page tracked actions are now shown in hours instead of days
-Users with non-ASCII (foreign characters, emoji, etc) usernames now display properly
-Prestige Perks now have a "View Perk" menu that shows current level, more info about perk, and amt to max
-Finger Snap changes: PP cost now depends on events of that type ran within 24h and is event-dependent to encourage more event diversity. Event boosts now also range from 2x-8x.
-Harvest boost events are temporarily disabled until end of Summer Event for balance reasons
-Large number of additional bug fixes and tweaks

-User logs are can now be looked up for any user
Logs can be filtered for transactions only or all activity. Previous log data has been archived due to a change in log storing format making them now incompatible. Also fixed some buggy logging and log formatting. Market logs and rob logs show all users involved in the interaction.
-Fixed Active Prestige Perks having no cooldown at all times when maxed out
Thanks Rutvik_Raut#2194 for letting me know about this!
-Trophies are now visible to all users, footer trophy slot now also displays User ID
-Finger Snap cost when attempting to start concurrent events increased
-Party Mode giveaways now show User Avatars
-Additional formatting, bug and stability fixes

-Balance Action and Cooldown buttons are now both active and accurately reflect cooldown status
-Item Autosell: On the Item Info menu, you can now toggle if you want to Auto-sell any items you discover
Thanks Jcnas#3415 and all others for this suggestion!
-Stock Market algorithm changed and now slightly favors increases
Stocks will still be highly volatile but this fixed an issue where stocks could trend downwards repeatedly. Now they should behave as expected and go both up and down.
-Patrons (and Community Boosters) can now list, transfer, and deposit Legendary Items
-Cool Hands no longer affects Scratch Off
Hopefully temporary change to fix Scratch-Off cooldown being calculated incorrectly
-Work Bonus frequency slightly decreased to account for Commission
-Max Market list price to 250M, all items can be purchased from market
-Bug fixes and other optimizations
Note: Sigils are not currently being given out from the Quests system due to a glitch. The item will be granted to all eligible users after the current campaign is completed. Thanks!
