Dark Patron - v2.0 Beta (Initial Upload)

Welcome to the initial Beta release of Dark Patron! This upload establishes the core procedural generation engine and the structural challenge ruleset for Classic Era and Burning Crusade Classic.

Core Systems

• The Veil: Implemented strict baseline restrictions. By default, characters are locked out of higher-tier gear, the Bank, Auction House, Mailbox, and Talent Trees.
• Procedural Bounty Board: The Ledger dynamically generates 6 contracts based on your level, class, and available professions.
• Pact Varieties: Added extensive triggers including Elemental Mastery, Combat Trials, Flawless/Purity constraints, and Gathering/Crafting/Fishing quotas.
• Targeted Hunts: Added specific Elite executions and Dungeon/Raid Boss targets that reward highly coveted Apex and Dark Sigils.

The Patron's Bazaar

• Sanctions Engine: Rest at an Inn or Capital City to spend Dark Favor on permanent gameplay unlocks.
• Progression Unlocks: Added purchasable rights for Uncommon/Rare/Epic Armaments, Grants of Knowledge (Talent Points), Cavalry (Mounts), and Worldly Access (Bank/AH/Mail).
• SSF Restrictions: The Bazaar automatically detects Solo Self-Found buffs and Hardcore modes, gracefully disabling forbidden purchases (like the Auction House) to preserve run integrity.

UI & Tracking

• Active Pact Tracker: Added a highly customizable, draggable on-screen tracker with collapsible pact details.
• The Streak Wick: Implemented a real-time combo timer. Complete consecutive pacts before the wick burns out for bonus Favor and immersive Patron whispers.
• Chat Integration: Shift-clicking a pact securely generates a color-coded, interactive tooltip directly in the game chat.
• The Chronicle: Added a dynamic text generator that records your gameplay archetype, tracks broken promises, and builds a permanent Death Epitaph if you fall in combat.

Economy & Data Structure

• Deflationary Economy: Base Dark Favor payouts are tightly capped at 1-2 per standard contract to prevent early-game hyper-inflation and maintain a grueling, satisfying progression curve.
• Client Separation: Separated Classic and TBC databases to ensure accurate target generation, successfully incorporating Outland-specific items like Netherweave and Zangarian Sporefish.
• Ultra-Rare Blacklist: The procedural generator is strictly coded to intercept and prevent contracts that demand ultra-rare, high-cooldown materials (e.g., Black Lotus, Arcanite, Spellcloth).
