The results are in from our recent poll asking the community what reward they want to see on "The Hook" Divination Card. Today, we've taken the top three choices from last week's post and are asking you to make one final vote to determine the new reward for the card.

This poll will be open for one week. Cast your vote on the forum post here! You will need to be logged into the forum to vote. Once the poll has ended, we will arrange the new reward for the card so that "The Hook" can be enabled again in our 3.18 expansion.
