SkyBlock's Skills resource receives "fake" updates #269

Description

I have noticed that on the SkyBlock skills resource endpoint some "fake" updates appear quite frequently:

These two things are changed back and forth every few days without any changes beyond that:

  • Sea Creature names and
  • Skill unlock tier numerals.

The fields "lastUpdated" and (SkyBlock) "version" are also increased - but apart from the two "fake" updates mentioned, nothing changes.

1) Sea Creature names get hidden or revealed

Sometimes only like 3 sc names get revealed or hidden (get replaced by ???), sometimes almost all of them get swapped.

>>> version 0.7.457
"level": 13,
"totalExpRequired": 32425,
"unlocks": [
    "??? Sea Creature",
    "??? Sea Creature",
    "Treasure Hunter XIII   Increases the chance to find treasure when fishing by 2.4➜2.6%.",
    "+2 HP ❤ Health",
    "+1,100 Coins"
]
>>> version 0.7.458
"level": 13,
"totalExpRequired": 32425,
"unlocks": [
    "Grinch Sea Creature",
    "Catfish Sea Creature",
    "Treasure Hunter XIII   Increases the chance to find treasure when fishing by 2.4➜2.6%.",
    "+2 HP ❤ Health",
    "+1,100 Coins"
]

2) Roman and Arabic numerals get swapped

When this change happens, all of the numbers for skill unlock tiers get changed (in this example Brewer XIVBrewer 14.

>>> version 0.7.458
"level": 14,
"totalExpRequired": 47425,
"unlocks": [
    "Brewer XIV   Potions that you brew have a 13➜14% longer duration.",
    "+1 ✎ Intelligence",
    "+1,200 Coins"
]
>>> version 0.7.459 (current version as of writing this)
"level": 14,
"totalExpRequired": 47425,
"unlocks": [
    "Brewer 14   Potions that you brew have a 13➜14% longer duration.",
    "+1 ✎ Intelligence",
    "+1,200 Coins"
]
