The opening hours were a gold/HP death spiral: a fresh hero spent more gold healing a fight than the kill paid, mid-tier foes out-damaged a starting HP bar, the map gave no read on where harder foes spawned, and a spent day left the player idle until the UTC rollover. This eases the on-ramp across both shipped worlds. Economy - Healer drops from 2 to 1 gold per HP, so topping up no longer outruns income. - Starting purse 20 -> 37: enough to buy the cheapest armor and one potion up front, a one-point DEF bump plus a heal cushion the player chooses to spend. Combat - Tier 2-4 common foes lose 1 ATK each, trimming the burst that could halve or end a fresh hero in a single bout. Rares and the boss are untouched. Wayfinding - The road glyph changes from "=" to a shaded path that reads as one continuous road in every orientation; "=" only looked right horizontally and broke into stacked dashes on vertical runs. Cinder's basalt path gets the same treatment with a crosshatch glyph free in its palette. Rest - Sleeping at the inn now rolls a spent adventurer into a fresh day's turns (it already fully heals). The top-up fires only at zero turns, so it never banks past the daily cap. Verified: full suite green (+2 rest tests, ruff/mypy clean); the greedy balance bot still clears the world 11/12 seeds at an unchanged pace on both packs.
