Version 4.7 Release Notes
ADDED

New Cards: Added 15 new Relics of the Lost Ages cards.
UPDATED

Battle Rewards: Majority of battle rewards have been moved to quests. This is to help encourage short daily play sessions instead of long grinding sessions. Rewards are now 10 Gold per battle (win or loss) for all modes. Rewards are prorated (8.5% per minute) for games that end in under 12 minutes.
Quest System Overhaul: Quests have been completely redesigned to feature non-gimmicky objectives easily completed through normal gameplay against real opponents.
Quest Refreshing: You now receive exactly 3 daily quests and 1 weekly quest. New quests will only populate empty slots at server reset.
Daily & Weekly Quest Rewards: Daily quests now award 60 Gold and 300 XP. Weekly quests now award 400 Gold and 2000 XP.
Quest Progress UI: Daily and weekly quests now actively display pending progress tracking during battles (e.g., "0 -> 11 / 15").
Quest Rerolls: Standard accounts receive 1 reroll per day, while Patrons receive 10. Weekly quests can also be rerolled. Rerolling is now point-and-click instead of grab.
Aether Crafting System: The "Luck" and "Focus" systems have been fully replaced with the new Aether crafting system which is about twice as fast as Luck was to acquire cards. The collection book button has been renamed to "Conjure".
Cosmetic Card Purchasing: Golden and Diamond variants of cards can now be purchased directly using Aether.
Animated Packs Removed: To make animated cards more prestigious, the dedicated animated booster packs have been removed from the store. Faction-specific booster packs have also been removed.
[] Animated Card Drop Rates: Increased the drop rate of animated cards in standard packs to compensate for the store removal. Rates are now calculated per card* rather than per pack, making it possible to pull multiple animated cards in a single pack. Animated cards still have a 20% chance to upgrade to Diamond.

Draft Rewards: Draft battles no longer award random cards. Instead, players earn 3 Aether per draft battle (win or loss) in addition to normal battle rewards. The entry cost is still 100 Gold, with the premium draft costing 50 Gems instead of gold.
Booster Pack Store: Gem-priced booster packs now display directly underneath gold-priced packs for easier access, removing the toggle button.
Achievements: Replaced the "Luck" achievement with "Aether". Removed the old "Commitment" daily quest streak achievement (to be replaced by a login streak later).
Tankards: Standard tankards on non-patron accounts now only cost 1 Gold to summon.
Tutorial & Starter Quests: Reduced starter quests from 6 to 3.
Dante Tutorial Guidance: Added a tutorial step where Dante will guide players to switch havens via the watch menu if the current tavern is completely full.
BALANCE CHANGES

Arkanis, Sunken Necrotic: Ability changed to: "After a friendly relic is destroyed, Fetch 1. After you activate 4 different Shards of Yanesse in a turn, Banish them and summon The Coronet of Yanesse." (No longer an Aftermath ability).
