  • re-added the ultimaish names for tomes and scrolls etc, so instead of tome (small light) it's tome (In Lor) - didn't re-add runic tho, for simplicity of coding and accessibility for players
  • map compression (RLE)

Enchanting changes:

  • ench skill gain 30x faster (but max skill gain is 1 point however)

  • fixed a bug that stopped gold medium and heavy armours from dropping
  • added goldweave & silverweave u/a and light armour drops

  • silver+gold leather armours now known as silverhide/goldhide ... both now drop

  • max stat bonus drops up to +32
  • min vig bonus is 4, up from 1
  • the + on drops now a little more consistent, and improved overall. However, don't expect to get +32 stat gear or even +8 weps or +6 def off balrons or dragons: kill shadow creatures or it or dig it up. It's still not guaranteed!!

  • any wearable item can be +def, +stat, +nv, +vig etc
  • 'rarities' (wands, nuggets) slightly more common (still rare though)

  • swapped +'s are still reduced by 1 (most of the time!)
  • target item shard reqs have probably changed, you can go figure it out but they are reasonable
