## ✨ **Free-to-Play Enhancements!** ✨

With the revamped system, players can now explore the world of Splinterlands like never before:

- **Earn Glint from Ranked Victories:** Starting in Bronze League, all players can accumulate Glint, creating a rewarding experience right from the start.

- **1x Base Modifier for Glint:** Regardless of whether players have staked SPS, everyone benefits from a 1x Glint modifier.

- **Starter Card Penalty Removed:** Enjoy earning Glint without the previously applied penalty on starter cards.

- **League Advancement Rewards for All:** Experience a smoother progression with rewards as you climb the ranks.
  
Players can now **participate in core activities** without a Spellbook, including:

  - Joining a guild, purchasing Credits, and buying cards.

  - Receiving gifts (packs, cards), participating in Brawls, earning Merits, renting cards, and more!

However, a **Spellbook** is still needed to access premium features like **selling or transferring cards, listing for rent, holding DEC or SPS, joining tournaments, or creating a guild**.

- **Starter Card Simplification:** Only the oldest cards from the two Modern format sets (currently Chaos Legion) are selectable for new players, easing the onboarding process.

- **Unique Username Option:** New players can select a name with the suffix "_lite," which can be removed upon purchasing a Spellbook.

## 🎮 **Gameplay Updates** 🎮

- **Clearer Ruleset Descriptions:** Many rulesets have been updated for improved clarity.

- **Ruleset Renaming:** The “FabFour” is now called “Four’s A Crowd,” while “FiveAlive” has been updated to “High Five.”

- **Starter Card Checkbox Fix:** Resolved an issue where the “Hide Starter Cards” checkbox displayed incorrectly during Open/Ghost Card battles.

## 🏝️ **Land Updates** 🏝️

- **Power Cores and Time Crystals:** These items can now be purchased with Credits, and any Credits spent on them will lead to the burning of an equivalent amount of DEC by the company.

## ⚒️ **General Quality-of-Life Improvements** ⚒️

- **Seasonal Artwork Adjustments:** Halloween visuals have been removed as we transition out of the holiday season.

- **SPS Rental Market Update:** An **Academy Panel** is now available, allowing easier access to SPS rental details.

- **Enhanced Notifications:** Users now receive a notification when receiving items (Titles, Avatars) from other players.

- **Improved Display Adjustments:** Several fixes for tournament types, mobile displays, and card combination pop-ups ensure a cleaner visual experience.
- **Rebellion Cards Update:** More detailed progress indicators have been added for Rebellion-era cards.
- **Market & Collection Filters:** Chaos Legion rewards have been separated into account-bound and non-account-bound rewards, making it simpler to navigate.

- **Enhanced Card Details:** Missing options have been restored for unbound cards, including price updates and extended lock durations.

- **Consistent Mobile Balances:** Balance displays now round more uniformly on mobile devices.

- **Guild Tavern Chat Indicator:** Notifications for Guild Tavern Chat now display more consistently.

- **Historical Currency Export:** Reinstated the ability to export currency records prior to 2022.

- **Referral Links:** Added back the referral option on shareable battle and rewards links.
