[Budding Plan Optimization]
To enhance mentor-apprentice relationships and improve the mentoring experience, starting April 11, adjustments will be made to the Budding Plan stage and weekly tasks:
1. Mentors will now earn significantly more Budding Points from weekly tasks. The Budding Shop has added weekly limited-purchase Formula Shards, which can be exchanged with Budding Points and Gold Bars.
