Gameplay impact
Grand Expedition monsters lost a hidden 50% increased rarity per remnant, this is now only available via the Gaining Traction Atlas passive (currently displays 25% but gives 50%). Some Soul Eater stacks incorrectly gave 5% skill speed per stack; now always 1%.
Action
If you want the extra monster rarity in Expeditions, allocate Gaining Traction on the Atlas tree. No other action needed.
