Fresh changes, right from the spriggan&#8217;s oven:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shields have been rebalanced:<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>The effects of SH have been doubled; each point of SH now gives twice as much block chance as previously, making it very roughly equivalent to EV point-for-point.<\/li>\n<li>All sources of SH have been halved, except for shield enchantments.<\/li>\n<li>Large shields can now be enchanted up to +8; normal &#8216;shields&#8217; can be enchanted up to +5. (Bucklers still cap at +3.)<\/li>\n<li>Unrand shields have been tweaked. The Large Shield of Ignorance is now +6 (a small buff); the Shield of the Gong is now +18 (a larger buff); the Shield of Resistance is now +2 (a small nerf).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Uniques are now announced by title when first appearing onscreen. Beware: Sigmund the Dreaded awaits!<\/li>\n<li>Darts have darted away forever. Warpers now start with tomahawks of dispersal instead.<\/li>\n<li>Confusing Touch has had its duration increased (though multiple casts no longer stack), and causes your attacks to do no damage while it&#8217;s in effect. Once it successfully confuses an enemy, the duration ends. It&#8217;s now level 2.<\/li>\n<li>Giant Slugs and Elephant Slugs have gone to the great vegetable garden in the sky. Gastronok survives, now the last member of his species. His eyestalks quiver in a fashion both noble and tragic.<\/li>\n<li>Curse Skulls have returned to their natural, immobile state.<\/li>\n<li>The amulet of conservation and cloak of preservation are gone, now that item destruction is no more.<\/li>\n<li>Maxwell&#8217;s Patent Armour now gives rF+ rC+ instead of conservation.<\/li>\n<li>Acquirement no longer avoids giving you items you&#8217;re currently carrying (e.g. lamps of fire, etc)<\/li>\n<li>Iron Trolls no longer appear outside Dis. (But watch this space!)<\/li>\n<li>Spellforged Servitors will no longer turn on the player when damaged by their own conjured ball lightning. Or ever.<\/li>\n<li>You can now cast Inner Flame on allies without angering them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Happy crawling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi crawlers!
