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. :-)
