Token Backpacks:
A brand-new item has been added to the Expedition Shop on Prison: Token Backpacks! These backpacks can store massive amounts of tokens, making inventory management much easier while mining. Just like Mining Backpacks, Token Backpacks can be upgraded to increase their storage capacity, allowing you to hold even more tokens as you progress. Gone are the days of tokens flooding your inventory, so you can spend less time managing your inventory and more time grinding!

Mining Frenzy Event:
A brand-new event has landed on Prison! Mining Frenzy events will now take place in the Abyss Mine every 8 hours, giving players another exciting opportunity to maximise their progress while grinding. When a Mining Frenzy begins, the entire Abyss Mine will transform into Quartz Ore for 5 minutes, creating the perfect opportunity to mine as much Quartz as possible and stock up on valuable Essence. With the event only lasting a limited time, make sure you're ready to jump into the Abyss Mine as soon as the frenzy begins and take full advantage of every minute. We look forward to seeing everyone battling it out in the Abyss Mine!

Essence Coinflips:
We know there are some serious gamblers on Prison, so this is a much-needed addition! Coinflips are receiving full support for Essence, allowing players to put Prison's secondary major currency on the line against other players. When creating a coinflip, you'll now be able to select which currency you want to gamble, giving you even more ways to test your luck and walk away with a big win. Good luck flipping that Essence, and hopefully Lady Luck is on your side!

New Mine Upgrade:
Spinning the Wheel of Fortune in your Private Mine is essential for making the most out of your daily grind. However, having to mine 30,000 blocks every single day to earn a spin can get old pretty quickly. This upcoming season, we're introducing a highly requested new Private Mine upgrade that allows players to reduce the number of blocks required to spin the Wheel of Fortune. As you upgrade it, you'll be able to earn your daily spins faster, significantly cutting down the time spent grinding blocks and giving you more time to focus on the rest of your Prison progression.

Treasure Pouches (Bulk Open):
Treasure Pouches were introduced during our previous Prison Season as a fun new reward to discover while mining. One of the biggest pieces of feedback we received was just how painful it could be to open them all, especially after building up a large stack. This upcoming season, we're making that process significantly easier! Players can now shift + right click (sneak + right click if you use different keybinds) while holding a stack of Treasure Pouches to open the entire stack at once. No more sitting there opening them one by one. You can now burn through your Treasure Pouches and gamble your rewards even faster!

Further Ascension Ranks:
It seems like we severely underestimated our players! Ascension Ranks were introduced a few seasons ago as a way to extend the grind and give our most dedicated players something extra to work towards. In typical Prison fashion, players have somehow managed to grind their way through every single one of them. This upcoming season, we're raising the ceiling once again with an additional 50 Ascension Ranks for players to progress through. More ranks, more progression, and plenty more grinding ahead. Surely there's a limit to how much someone can rank up... right?

Miscellaneous Changes
As always with new seasons, it is our primary focus to ensure we deliver enough content, quality of life changes and bug fixes to satisfy our community! Players can expect to see brand new builds alongside a smoother gameplay experience with a handful of our backend plugins being updated with performance improvements. We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday. As always, enjoy!
