The two main diary rewards I was super excited for was the increased xp from pay dirt and the faster cball smithing...both of which have been taken out
I'm not sure what the argument about cballs was...was it because you could profit too much from it? What if there was an xp boost instead of smelting time decrease? I just smelted cballs for an hour at port phasymatus and was only getting 11k xp/hr. That's terribly slow. If there was a 100% xp boost it would still be slower xp/hr than smithing iron knives.
Would anyone be against an xp boost to smelting cballs if the reduced smelt time can't be polled back in?
I think all rewards seems to be great, except the 2 chompy bird spawning one. Wish there were any benefits for the ogre coffin loot at the Zogres instead of the double chompies. Still, i can't wait for the achievement diaries.
I foresee Crystal Halberd a dead content tbh ._. there seemed to be no advantage aside from a better stats. Like one of the previous replies mentioned, allow it to hit with a bigger space or something because right now it's not even something you'd use a lot in combat (and it doesn't even have a special attack) so it's going to just remain a cosmetic item

Would love to see an Achievement Diary give Random Events access to the Rare Drop Table. This would reduce 90% of them being dead content.
(Genies, Class, Maze, and Molly are the only ones worth doing)
Or give us back the "Pick reward from the following 8 choices"
