These fixes are now up on Beta. That makes three new patches on Beta right now, so Wednesday's live patch will be a doozy. Enjoy!

New Features & Improvements

• Added a new Training Log subtab to the Academy panel

• Training log entries now show adventurer portraits, before/after stat comparisons (before → gain → after), and instructor details

• Instructor activity is now logged for training sessions, drills, and skill growth events

Annual Reports Overhaul

• Annual Reports now include awards, memorable moments, staff highlights, and expanded metrics

Quest Board Sorting

• Quest board now sorts by ROVR ascending instead of best-match risk, making it easier to find appropriate quests

Trading & Economy

• Added direct gold input fields alongside trade proposal sliders

• Added +/- buttons to the guild trading gold slider for fine-tuned offers

• Trade form is now preserved on validation failure so you can revise offers without starting over

• Silent trade failures now display a feedback toast explaining why a trade was rejected

Faction System

• Fixed up faction standing tier bonuses and exclusive quests

UI & Quality of Life (5 QoL Pack)

• Staff contract negotiation results now display in the right column, matching adventurer layout

• Detail sub-tab selection persists when switching between adventurers and staff
