Hey, suggestions for rebalancing July event based off other video game stuff I've helped out with years ago.

- minimum drop rate of shards while exploring is raised. maybe to 3-5 per shards found so you don't explore for only 1 or 2 shards per event encounter in the normal world.

(Implemented!) - remove "empty" flavour encounters in the celestial explore. I understand flavour text, but it's a waste of shards. If we do keep the flavour text, can we refund 5 shards per "flavour" box? Maybe your king finds them wondering among the stars?

(Implemented!) - lower enemy power in celestial explore (mildly). Some of these guys can three or two-shot you, and others are so hard to grapple it's a coin flip on beating them. can we either lower their attack power or, as an alternative, lower their health bar? not by a lot - they should still pose a challenge, but not an unfair one.

- lower shard consumption in the celestial explore. Due to my bad eyesight, I accidentally saw a line saying that the explore would consume 5 shards to set out, and then 2 for all further steps. That sounds good! Alternatively, if that is too hard to code, just lowering it to 2 or 3 (to compliment minimum find cap) per step would help massively.

EDIT: I'm fine with this not being implemented, as the "empty" events in the celestial explore now give out 5-10 shards, which dampens the cost of exploring and battling quite a bit!

(Implemented!) - remove the 10% energy gate on the celestial explore. This currently forces a lot of waiting for individuals who just want to get their axiom cores and go, especially for those that have stoic personalities. if you're worried about the celestial explore being exploited for infinite exp and impression, simply remove these from celestial explore encounters. maybe your astral projection does not get stronger from fighting such celestial beasts? the main draw for players to fight creatures is the axiom cores anyway.

(Implemented!) - use axiom cores to enter celestial lioness raffle (speculative). shards are already being used for so much. Users should not have to choose between bases and marks vs new, exciting ladies to breed. decor is less important to the game economy, which leaves axiom cores free. Maybe 3 to 5 axiom cores per entry?

(Implemented!) EDIT: "Empty" explore encounters in Celestial Explore should been changed to reward between 4 and 7 Meteorite Shards at random, rather than 1-7! We should get a full refund for empty encounters.
