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. :-)

I tested it out with some Sigon's pieces. Seems to be working perfectly 
so far :)

These are mostly mid to high-end runewords. Cornholio was actually 
adjusted *downwards* a bit, I realised I hadn't taken the rune values 
themselves into account so I revised it to be a little less powerful.

"Lucky Bastard" requires a Zod, a Vex, a Jah and an Ohm so I don't think 
there'll be too many of those ;) LOL

"Fortune's Favour" uses a Lem, Ist and Lem in 3-socket hats and is a 
MF-focused runeword. The vitality is so it doesn't render chars all but 
defenceless when wearing one ;)

And the "Truly Cheesy Armour" is the only Gemstone unique with a 
predefined level requirement: 99. ;)

Would asking for having synergies being effected by +skills be asking to much?
It'd be easy to put in, though.  Open skills.txt in notepad, and have it replace
all instances of blvl with lvl.

I can do that, yeah. That's a good idea. :)
