Whispering Ledger v.0.4.1

v.0.4.1

• Added Ashura's Rank 2 Faction Quest
• Added April Event
  • It's in the Bonus section of the gallery.
• Post Update Changes
  • Reduced expedition costs to 75% of market item value summation
    • Expedition costs were factoring in 100% of the value of goods with a drop rate above 5%, which is why you probably noticed your money wasn't really going up or down on average.
  • Added Cargo Expeditions
    • Cargo expeditions yield 5x materials at 3x the price of a normal expedition, but an additional 75% risk modifier.
    • You can hire Rocinante, who will decrease risk by 60%, at a fee of 40% of the cargo cost.
    • If you're still feeling skittish, you can also buy insurance to keep 50% of the loot even if the expedition fails, but it'll cost an additional 30% of the cargo cost.
  • You can no longer send expeditions to the same place multiple times a day.
    • It didn't really make sense that you could send 3 separate parties to Abandoned Laboratory on the same day.
    • You can still send an expedition and a Cargo Expedition to the same place though.
  • Added Rank 3 Questions for Ashura and Balae
  • Added Weiss' Loans
    • Just like loans in real life, I'm not going to explain this.
    • Just like loans in real life, you can completely fuck over your save if you're not careful.
    • Unlike loans in real life, there are a few guard rails to prevent you from doing that.
• Nicole's Crafting Adjustments
  • The discount on buying crafted items has increased from 20% to 35% at rank 1, with the same 5% increase per additional rank.
  • Some materials have increased in price.
  • Some crafted items have increased in price to compensate for this increase.
• Item value increases across the board
  • Previously, having a ton of low value items wasn't an issue because you could sell as many items as you wanted.
  • Now, Bulk Sale slots are previous, so the price of items have been adjusted accordingly.
  • For each expedition rank, you should see a notable increase in revenue per item.
• Faction Quest Blockers
  • Some faction quests will have different requirements based on plot, such as Rat rank 2 requiring the completion of Balae rank 2.
  • This is to prevent situations where you're juicing faction ranks and start seeing a bunch of characters and plot points that were introduced in chapter 2 while you're on chapter 1 part 1.
