• Added new Card Backs purchasable in The Bazaar.
  
• Updated the Compendium to show ALL trinkets and relics. Relics the player hasn't unlocked will be indicated with a lock icon.
  
• Improvements to card and relic spawn conditions. Card choices should be more focused on the deck the player is building, with lower chances of "dud" offerings.
  
• 6 new masks have been added. 3 are available for selection in Sproutwood's mask menu, 1 is available through a landmark choice in Sproutwood, and an additional 2 can be found in Hollows Runs.
  
• Minor tweaks on a handful of past Tusk Tales fights: Added Mossmuncher to older Shrubasaur decks for better theming and balance. Removed Demon Pact from Dungeon Keeper (Deadly). Adjusted Trinkets for Lobmasu's boss fight.
  
• Adjusted Guard Igre and Guard Riv fights in Chapter 2 of Quill Fable slightly, to rebalance now that several cards in those decks have received buffs over the last few patches.
  
• Various bugs fixed.
