Version history

Version	Changes
3.17.0	Local added Fire, Cold, Lightning, and Physical Damage Prefix modifiers on Weapons have been increased by roughly 8% at the highest tier and increased by more at lower tiers. The difference between tiers has been lowered, so that there's less of a jump between tiers as you progress towards the highest. Added two new tiers of added fire, cold and lightning damage to the core glove modifier pool. Essences of Anguish, Suffering, and Torment have been adjusted accordingly.
2.4.0	Introduced to the game.
