Hive Shop change

When did they change how the Master Hive merchants work? I thought you used to be able to exchange your Master items for the token without needing to beat Qira again, but I went to swap my Contrast and it said I needed a Master Catalyst.

 

pretty recently actually
it was quite controversial on the discord
however you may notice the items from the 5 divisions should only cost 1 catalyst instead of 2 now

 

wait they changed it to 1 now?
well good thing I still have 9 master catalysts lmao

 

Ah, thanks. It really threw me for a loop because I just exchanged an item a couple months ago and I couldn't find any documentation about the change.
