Here are two things I could think of.

With the castle update there's also a new area of the map north of onnet/mod town which is really helpful with completing a few of the bounty types. The big city boat was also moved up here.

There are now automated events which reward you with tickets which can be spent on items in the mod circus. The stock in there rotates out daily(?) so it's nice to go in every now and then to check what's for sale.
