For a game centered around loot, items have fallen into a pretty boring place. This patch is the first of a few intending to bring them into a more interesting spot.

Items

• Regular item drops have had their average modifier count increased by 25% or so. Less boring 1-mod items, more focus on getting some interesting stuff to drop! This also impacts the quality of items found in the shop.
• Tier 1 uniques are 3x more likely to drop
• Tier 2 uniques are 5x more likely to drop
• Added 2 new Tier 1 uniques
• Added 8 new Tier 2 uniques
• Added support for some more interesting item modifiers
• Swapped items to a new icon set

Balance

• The Crafter now unlocks slightly earlier (in general reaching monster level 7-8 instead of 9 should cause her to appear)
• The Adventurer starts at 15 life and gains 5 life per level now
• Storm Avatars now move about twice as fast
• Storm Avatars no longer chase offscreen enemies
• Treasure chests now have an 8% chance to drop unique items, up from 2%

Bug Fixes

• Ignites and Poisons should no longer impact you in town
• Whirlwind will no longer bug out when certain buff combinations are picked
