Thanks for the hard work all the updates sound great was just wondering if anyone can elaborate on what this part means?

   "-- The bonuses that are recieved for various aspects of your character have been changed"

Is it like the caps have been changed or deminishing returns like on regen and if so which attributes have been affected?

[Sticky]

im assuming by this that he means with regards to imbuing, probably along the lines of gargoyle bonuses to imbuing and such

[Mahavira]

Yes, gargs didn't get the 5% bonus before.

[Xeen]

Correct -- I am actually working on typing a new guide for all aspects of the current imbuing system, but it is very time consuming.

I will get it up ASAP though!!

[Lilith]

Uhoh. Time consuming usually means "Time to make Ayria do stuff and be helpful".  I'm going on sabbatical.

You said luck twice. :mrgreen:

-- Resistances do not count against total property count except on Jewelry

Isn't getting your suit to 70's resists supposed to be a part of property count selection?
Are you going to make lower reg not count too? Thats also commonly wanted. Or Lower mana? HP?
... I really thought all of these were supposed to be a part of property selection. And i mean, really... with so many per item its not hard to make a good combo.
