I'm also thinking of increasing the droprate of hero souls

Did this make it into the update?

---
Also, I turned off the chest drop mod and tested that chest again and no crash. So this non-bug issue seems to be related to the drop mod, but damn I am curious why.

Installed the update, and with the monster drop rate am finding lots of new goodies. Really liked the green centaur and the boss fight with Nessus was a good challenge, died 3 times!

Did you do all of this modding with artmanager?

I didn't increase the droprate yet, since I practially doubled the number of hero souls now I'll wait and see if it's still a problem.

99% of the record editing was done with ArtManager, used Notepad++ and external programs when making global chances like soul droprates and stuff like that.

The green centaur? You mean the savage ones or the hero?

Honestly, I am not sure, I was running a lot and did not have the mouse over to see exactly, but I assume savage as I did not see a star overhead.

I have enormous awe over your patience and dedication to have done so much with the art manager.

EDIT:
Played some more and a couple of things...Some of your special items are way undervalued at the vendors, no? Also there is a champion(star) blue chick just after the M-word town in Greece (before cyclops) that spams a freeze spell. Died twice to her as I could never move again and just gave up drinking pots to try again (without getting hit by that spell). Much more cautious now when the new monsters appear.

Items in general are worth much less in the mod, what specific items seem undervalued?

It was the Maenad called Vakiya right? Just fixed her ridiculous freeze duration. There's still monsters around which aren't properly balanced.

Most of the new items, blues and greens. For example the green mace dropped by the fishmen along the coast, its a nice mace but it sells for only 660 gold! Might this be because it has no level requirement? Or is there a level attached to items, independent of the req. that dictates cost?

And yeah, that was her, it was quite embarrassing, suicide encased in ice.

All items have drastically reduced value, since gold can actually buy useful stuff (XP pots, stats pots, recipes etc.), it is also much harder to farm.

The heroes and new monsters will still spawn, just be aware that you will find a few items not made for the difficulty.
