Sounds great. I've often wished that I could upgrade set items on b.net.
Gemstone is looking more and more attractive.

I see you've improved some runewords. It's not getting so that toons will be
grossly over-powered I hope? I mean, yeah, we want to be able to have some
godly stuff but, from personal experience, I know that I get bored quickly
if the challenge is reduced too much.

Thanks again for the good work.
