Hello, anglers!In this small patch, we've added new benefits to regional cards, made banking and profession management easier, and refreshed the workshop panels.Mirabello Bay: The card purchased for 25 Randomness Points now increases the interest rate on Gold and Pearl deposits from 1.5% to 7.5%.Ierapetra Offshore — Infinity at a Glance: For card holders, the first Labyrinth reward tier threshold has been reduced from 50 to 35.Southern Crete — Golden Age: For card holders, the first Creta Racing reward tier threshold has been reduced from 53 to 40.Mystic Card — Bank Automation: Automatically collects interest from matured Gold and Pearl deposits, keeps the principal in the bank, and starts a new term.Mystic Card — Profession Automation: If no training is currently in progress, automatically starts an unfinished profession training when its requirements are met and the necessary resources are available.Creta Racing: The top panel has been redesigned. You can now more easily track the current series closest to 101, your best series, and how many times you've completed 101.Labyrinth Workshop: The new panel, designed to match Racing, now shows the labyrinth closest to the exit, your best progress, and your total number of completions.Related descriptions and new interface text have been updated across all eight supported languages.Bank and Profession Automation can be enabled or disabled using two separate switches in their respective sections. Both are disabled by default and operate while the game is active.Thank you for your feedback. Random!
