Patch 0.9.24

**Patch 0.9.24**, also known as the **Swap Update**, is the last patch before Homecoming and launched on May 22nd, 2018. Its main focus was on balance changes, mostly revolving around the Swap mechanic.

### Description

With this update, our main focus was to change cards with the Create ability, as well as to adjust the Swap mechanic.

### Increased Mill Value

The following cards will have increased value for milling for 3 days following the release of the patch – until Friday, May 25th, 12 PM CEST (noon):

* Stribog Runestone
* Zoria Runestone
* Dazhbog Runestone
* Devana Runestone
* Morana Runestone
* Black Blood
* Slave Driver
* Elven Scout
* Winch
* Doppler
* Elven Wardancer
* Vrihedd Vanguard
* Olgierd von Everec
* Dun Banner
* Brouver Hoog

When milled, the cards on the list will yield an amount of scraps and powder needed to craft a card of the same value.
