-An old Fairy Auction exclusive, the "Love Flower Hat" has been nerfed but also given a new appearance, now known as "Flower Summer Hat". Its chance to drop Yggdrasil Berry has been nerfed from 5% down to a scaling drop rate based on target level, identical to [https://hero-server-db.herokuapp.com/item-search/Ancient_Elven_Ear Ancient Elven Ear]'s drop rate for random quivers. The GM team recognize that this is a severe change, but the original 5% drop rate is a grave mistake and easily accessed Yggdrasil Seed is not healthy for the server healing item balance. This should be an acceptable compromise so that now all players have a chance to farm Yggdrasil Seeds without fighting MVPs, but the drop rate should be acceptable without completely erasing the needs for other types of healing items. The "Flower Summer Hat" is now in Old Red Boxes.

 ==Valentine's Day==
-The Wizard Ozu has chosen a rather unusual way to celebrate Valentine's Day- to cheer for love with a bang! Collect "I Love You Fireworks" for him and enjoy the "fireworks" with him. See if you can last through his inventions! He is in the center of Prontera, and he'll help you sneak into Jawaii to play his fireworks game. These firecrackers can be obtained from the Loverings and Love Balloons throughout different cities and towns this holiday season. You'll be rewarded based on how long you can last within the game. The reward gets better and better based on your score, but it's pretty challenging, so you'll need some practice runs to have a chance to ace it. This quest is endlessly repeatable. You can earn new Valentine's Day headgear for 2024, and future repeats + high scores can get Past Valentine's Day Gearbox for old Valentine's Day headgear.<br>

 Monsters in Louyang and Gonryun seem to have some special items for the Lunar New Year. It may be worth visiting their respective dungeons during this holiday.

 This change emulated the behaviour of the old Claymore Trap in 2008 and prior, but without the risk of client error due to the exponential splash damage in the past. GMs will reserve the right to change the skill without advanced notice if this is a balance issue. If the change is well received, we'll apply the trap damage to Blast Mine and other trap-type skills.
