# Weekly Update 21/11/2022

**Game Design**\
Created and Updated tickets Finished the basic Quest System Design — added more item and MKC rewards for each basic quest type Added the Quest popup to main HUD (whenever a Quest is progressed or completed, a popup appears) Added **Quest icon** with counter in the main HUD Added Battle Cost proposal (Battles vs. another player will cost 1 energy) to balance out the PvP, prevent excessive consecutive attacks, give more time for defense, boosts retention, and using MKC to restore energy — boosts monetization
