Eternal Bundle Core

In Update 1.14 we added a bunch of new Icons and Banners for each Eternal, and made them exclusive drops from Ion cores. We know a lot of players were happy with this, but the main feedback pointed at their rarity and the lack of duplication protection, which made them more of a frustrating experience rather than an exciting one.The Eternal Bundle Core is a Common Loot Core drop from Ion Cores and has a 4% drop rate, the following rates were changed to support this.

- Common Amber was 12% now 10%
- Common Banner was 11% now 10%
- Common Profile Icons was 11% now 10%
