3.17.0	Removed the Prophecy mechanic from the game, and moved many of its rewards to other content. Fated Unique Items not mentioned explicitly in the version 3.17.0 patch notes now have a chance to drop from any endgame map boss. This is a temporary measure to maintain their availability. They will be moved to a new acquisition system in a future expansion.
3.11.0	New versions of Limbsplit and The Cauteriser' now also trigger Gore Shockwave on hit if you have at least 150 Strength. Limbsplit triggers a level 1 version, and The Cauteriser triggers a level 5 version.
2.3.0	Introduced to the game.
