• Resolved an issue that caused the Endless Toymaker's Tonic to only turn players into festive dolyaks.
• Fixed a bug that caused Charged Quartz Crystals to drop instead of Quartz Crystals.
• Resolved an issue that would prevent Marcello DiGiacomo from returning to his starting point after failing his donation-drive event.
• Fixed a bug that prevented Endless Toy Tonic recipe items from unlocking their crafting recipes.
