I really like the improvements you have made on the nurturing grounds! I do have one suggestion that I think would be greatly appreciated in the community. I love helping nurture sylestis, especially during the fests when you get rewards from doing it, however I have no need for the scales. I think adding scales to the currency exchange would be a great addition so that people who don't use scales can trade them in for something they will use. I am not sure what a good exchange rate would be though.

edit: I also just thought, maybe instead of adding the currency exchange since that would probably require an algorithm change, you could just add more things to the scale shop that people not working on projects or wanting egglings would want, such as peerless avatar tokens or maybe title scrolls for new players.

Scales aren't really meant to be a transferable currency.

I would rather improve the Scale Shop so that there is more incentive to earn them for a wider array of players.
