Yikes. It's even harder to get the book then? How about the other items are only available after you get the book?
Actually, the original plan was the exact opposite of this (that the book was always the last item). Skills are the ends of paths, not beginning.
Not threatening to change it back or anything, just providing some context. It's not a 'large percentage chance of getting screwed' it's a 'small percentage chance of getting what you want early.' Each item is only granted once (per lifetime and won't be granted if you have it already), so you will get it eventually.
A static way to get the book would cost a ton more, though, just so we're clear.
Obviously, most of those were defending, in which I don't get any coins (maybe that should be changed?) but still.
This is actually the whole point. Defenders get some PvP rewards, attackers get some PvP rewards. Defenders get a couple ways to get old coins (they are winning, after all), but just enough to get a taste, if I balanced things right.
Cheers!
