changes to izual were very interesting, didn't see much in the way of changes from chimera I killed him in a tri'o of casters.

fantastic job on reducing molochs lag, really great.

glad the low stave runewords were changed to tir + coresponding element rune for each one. Evens all 3 nicely. Looking forward to checking out the higher end staves abit later.

I hear talk of the level cap now being 101 too, is that correct and how much exp do you need in comparison to getting to 100 if that is right?

I think the A1 phys rogue mercs were not modified as intended. I currently have a lvl 21 rogue that shoots 5 arrows with each multishot. When I hired her, she shot 2 (rogue lvl 11). She is carrying no items with +AllSkills.

<edit>It also appears that Cleansing's poison resistance bonus doesn't kick in until skill level 3 :shock:... that's just wierd. </edit>

What changes exactly where made to the zod runewords? I made a knowledge last night and I think it's almost identical to the ones in earlier versions.

*edit*
Just got to lvl 100, but no xp till next lvl. 101 is not attainable. As far as I can see, the only thing that was changed in this update was the carrion bug.
