Ida Character Event

**Event**
A new character event has just begun! Ida brings a suspicious ring that seems to be corrupting the forest and could corrupt the entire island! Complete your personal objectives to unlock her and help the community with the global objective to earn exclusive rewards!

The event ends on March 3rd!

**Features**
- Added a win streak feature in PvP. Every time you win 3 attacks in a row, you can now claim a bonus reward of 100 PvP tickets and 50 PvP points.
- Personal contribution rewards now reset every time you complete one so you can continue claiming rewards throughout the duration of the event.
- Added many new maiden-only legendaries and ultimates in Boss Crafting.

**Masteries**
As we aim to move out of beta, many changes have been brought to masteries. These changes will be live with users for 2 to 4 weeks so we can assess if further changes are needed before being officially out of beta.

Some of the changes below may affect masteries you have put points in. As such, we'll be offering a free respec to all users.

- Effectiveness of damage, healing and other related numbers has been normalized and is now using its own coefficient rather than each maiden's skill coefficient. Note that this will likely result in generally lower numbers. We will address the balance of these as we continue working on the next maiden balance pass.
- Added an option to grant free respecs to users.
- Added targeting options for triggered masteries. They can now target the attacker or the last target.
- Made technical improvements to buffing masteries. These would sometimes trigger and get immediately overridden.
