Game Changes
- After much criticism, the Heaumes have been reverted back to an improved version of their original look. The new Armet now has the "teapot" style artwork instead.
- The animation speed for equipping and un-equipping bows and crossbows has been increased.
- The Sturdy Iron Key now has a unique icon so that it can't be easily confused with other keys.
- More portals and Lifestones have been added to the Direlands.
