• Masters can now sell you hideout decorations from towns, as long as you have a hideout.
• Microtransaction portal effects now apply to portals created by Map Devices.

• Masters now offer the Abandon Mission conversation option for daily missions for when you absolutely want to fail your mission.

Master and Mission Balance

• The levels of daily master missions has been adjusted.
