Patch 0.9.24

Patch 0.9.24, also known as the Swap Update, is the last patch before Homecoming and launched on May 22nd, 2018. Its main focus was on balance changes, mostly revolving around the Swap mechanic.

Description
With this update, our main focus was to change cards with the Create ability, as well as to adjust the Swap mechanic.

Increased Mill Value
The following cards will have increased value for milling for 3 days following the release of the patch – until Friday, May 25th, 12 PM CEST (noon):


 * Stribog Runestone
 * Zoria Runestone
 * Dazhbog Runestone
 * Devana Runestone
 * Morana Runestone
 * Black Blood
 * Slave Driver
 * Elven Scout
 * Winch
 * Doppler
 * Elven Wardancer
 * Vrihedd Vanguard
 * Olgierd von Everec
 * Dun Banner
 * Brouver Hoog

When milled, the cards on the list will yield an amount of scraps and powder needed to craft a card of the same value.
