-Added option to 'Collect Up To' for Scheduled orders so for example you can collect up to 500 copper ore -Buffed the crafted equipment across the board

-Nerfed the random equipment drop rate

-It seemed that a lot of people were just skipping the crafting equipment completely because 1 they were able to get enough random equipment to keep their characters equipped and 2 by the time they could craft equipment it wasn't very strong so this way crafting will feel more worthwhile and necessary

I'm working on adding Herb Gathering areas now that'll work similar to the Wood Cutting and Mining except Herb Gathering will use Prowess as the main stat. With more herbs comes more potions. I'm going to nerf the healing potions a bit so it heals over time instead of instantly to make it so you can't just spam potions. I also want to change how food work so they're not just another healing item. I plan on going with something similar to Valheim where they give a buff for the duration and your character just eats automatically on rest. This will give players a reason to actually craft the food. I've been wondering what I could do with the piles of stone that seem to accumulate when mining and after playing some diablo 2 I came to the conclusion. I'm going to add 'Shrines' that will appear between waves that gift the group a buff for a duration. You must first build the Shrines for your guild which will allow them to show up on the field. Also I plan on changing the blacksmith and alchemy up a little bit so they start off simple and can be upgraded. This could also tie into unlocking various recipes. For mass piles of wood they can be turned into charcoal which will be necessary for stronger metals (steel and higher). Think I could also add gems from mining to socket into equipment so mining feels more rewarding and allows more customization.
