    Even we changed prices, thanks to the stork, your talent unlocking pace should be much faster.

• Merchant Improvements: * Added a "MAX" button to Merchant William’s shop to quickly fill your stock.

  • Rare Merchant: Added a 15-minute countdown timer to the trade window. Once the time is up, the merchant packs up and leaves, whether you've finished shopping or not.

• Visual Fixes:

  • The Skofnung (Rare Merchant item) has been resized so it can actually fit on your walls.

  • Updated placement logic for Medallion Rugs.

  • Adjusted the Talent Tree position to be better centered within the Tavern layer.

• Audio Scaling: Fixed an issue where the music was still too loud at the lowest settings. The slider range has been recalibrated for more precise control.

• Fixes: Added extra triggers for the "Can You Play Free Bird?" achievement to ensure it unlocks correctly for everyone.
