a Windshear socketed with Gemstones and Magestones!)

larger stacks (up to 60) and are now purchasable at vendors.

stack up to 200

- New Cube recipes have been added

Battle Orders (may also have a random prefix)
- 2 magic rings + 1 rare ring + Lum rune -> magic ring of
Warming (may also have a random prefix)
-Rune Recipes
- item + 2 perfect gems + 2 of the same Rune -> Rune effect
added to item
This works with weapons, all kinds of armour,
rings and amulets. Rune attributes added are appropriate for the item
type. For example: Skystrike + 2 pGems + 2 Shael runes -> Skystrike +
40% IAS.
NOTE: These recipes now only work ONCE per item.
Runes can now be downgraded with the following recipe:
- 1 Rune + 1 rare ring -> next rune down
EG., 1 Thul rune + 1 rare ring -> 1 Ort rune

- Monsters have been reshuffled slightly in act 5 and in the Durance of Hate
- Packs of Flying Scimitars now spawn in some areas of act 2
- Boss packs of crow nests should now spawn in act 1 and act 2
- Coldcrow in Nightmare now has a chance to drop M'avina's Caster bow

Gemstone II
- Guest monster boss packs no longer spawn in Normal Bloody Foothills
RUNEWORDS
- Possible new runeword: "Lucky Bastard" (Zod-Vex-Jah-Ohm) for 4-socket
weapons
- A new runeword has been added for Necromancer Heads:
Imperious Leader - Lem-Dol-Lem

+375 Poison Damage over 5 Seconds
-30-45% Enemy Poison Resist

SKILLS
- Necromancer Revives: now no longer have a fixed duration. They live
until killed like Skeletons, Golems, Valkyries and so forth
- Magic Arrow: attack rating bonus and magic damage improved
- Guided Arrow: can Pierce again
MISC
- Experience gain rebalanced; the diminishing returns curve after level
70 is now less steep. Until level 80 or so the decrease is negligible.

I realised that and changed it. ;) Also changed some of the mods and made it higher-level after discussing it with Shiflet. There'll also be a lower level RW for heads that'll give poison necros a boost, I think.

I can see myself playing this game well into my dotage, (long after battlenet is replaced by skynet,) if you continue developing GS the way that you are. :-) -- Shaun.

LOL Hehee! I'm not sure. It's my opinion that the best thing to come of that whole franchise was the programme "Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles" [Phwoaaaar! Summer Glau!] and that seemed to be set in (approximately) contemporary times. -- Cheers, Shaun. "Let food be thy medicine" Hippocrates.

Never seen the show, but IIRC the second movie established the year 1997 as when Skynet became self-aware and tried to destroy the human race. LOL! Maybe it should have been August 24, 1995... the day Windows 95 was released. ;) PS. I'm nearly ready to release Gemstone v1.1, I think. Adding a new MF runeword for hats, and then I'll be testing the biatch to destruction and back. ;)

Again my friend, thanks for all of the work that you're putting into ressurecting Gemstone, picking up the torch that Stephen Gorrell first lit and carrying it further than I'm sure he dreamed it would go. -- Shaun.
