COLLECTION BOOK UPDATE

We’ve adjusted the Collection Book to make it a bit easier to acquire Heroes and weapon schematics through research/recruitment:

• All Llama cardpack items other than Mythic Heroes can now be acquired with Flux.
  • Mythic Heroes from Event Llamas still require a Hero Voucher.
• Items available in the Shop for Gold can be researched for Vouchers if they’re only available at Legendary/Mythic rarities, and with Flux otherwise.
• Items acquired from Quests can be researched for Vouchers if they’re only available at Legendary/Mythic rarities, and with Flux otherwise.
• Founder/Starter Pack items, Birthday Heroes, and Mythic Weapons should be the only items unavailable for research/recruitment.

In addition to the research/recruitment changes, we’ve also done a review to ensure source descriptions for each item are up to date, and made some minor organization/naming fixes.
