I got the dark seeds, but now haven't been finding any mana runes and have no potions left. I have TONS of Gold and gem runes that I would LOVE to be able to trade or exchange somehow. Thanks!

Now I know why once I get the chest and open it why I don't start getting puzzle pieces right away because of this new 48hr cooldown. I'm completely baffled how some players can get all the puzzle pieces in a day. But I understand now why there is a cool down for it. On the Runes in the Swords replacement without losing what time is left on tjose Runes, we've been asking for that for over 4yrs already. I gave up on that, as I have done on many requests. I, basically, just play to give me something to do in between crocheting and not doing much of anything, anymore, because this game quit being fun along time ago. Anyways, at least I know why there's a cool down on the AI chest. Which I agree to it being started, even though it takes me a month to open the chest.

Can you make this option aviable - when player put rune on sword on Black Smith, in case that he done wrong decission, to make possible to put that rune back in inventory of runes and put other rune (even if rune lasts for 1 day or 1 hour). I don't know if I wrote this corectly (my knowledge of english ;-) ), I meant possibility to unsocket rune from sword - put that rune in inventory - and put other rune on place (3 possible places). Thank you for all, Yours, Banemax JKNAI91 wrote: Hey Nick and all in CNE, I was one of the players who agreed with Banemax that it would be a wonderful idea to be able to unsocket runes and put them back in their inventory. What if we accidentally place one we don't want to use? Or want to change which sword we are using but don't want to have to wait until our runes run out.. It would definitely be helpful to be able to remove them. Thank you for taking the time to read this :) JKNAI91 I totally get the convenience of this feature, particularly if you accidentally selected the wrong rune to socket. Assuming the runes would no longer keep expiring after being removed, then this does have some design implications, similar to the request to have runes socketted into an unequipped sword not expire until you equip the sword. Depending on how the rune expiry times were designed, it may or may not be a big deal, but it's something I've got to consider carefully. That being said, some rune improvements are on the list to be considered for the next quality of life update!

There is a GREAT bookstore in Seattle that has a bookstore with a coffee shop & books in the basement. I used to love to go there!! Library coffee shops are great! We have one here and the vibe is very cozy. I'll note this down to consider! Might also make sense with the suggestions to utilize the few Coffee Stands in Bushwhackia.

Thanks! I don't see why we shouldn't add the minesweeper mini-game as a flungeon puzzle option! I'll note this down to consider.

I'm considering something allowing the exchanging of rune powders as a future Alchrafter certification perk!

If an auto-clicker allows you to play for 24 hours a day, we do not design for this. 3) Players suspected of utilizing external software were opening the Casino Bonus Chest far more frequently than intended. Even the 2 day cooldown is far more rapid than Justin's original expected rate of opening this bonus chest. 4) The Casino Bonus Chest awards Bush Bucks, Bush Whacker 2's premium currency. 5) We added a cooldown to the chest that we only expect players using these tools would ever be affected by. 6) As I suspect only players utilizing external tools will ever run up against the Casino Bonus Chest cooldown, I don't intend to spend development time adding a timer for it. 7) I'm not opposed to adjusting this cooldown if we can prove it's reasonable for a player not using external tools to achieve. 8) You should still be able to win puzzle pieces from the slot machines while your Casino Bonus Chest cooldown is active.
