Version history

Version	Changes
3.15.0d	Rapier One Hand Swords are once again classified as Thrusting One Hand Swords. Their Weapon Range is again 14 (instead of 11). Please update your item filters!
3.15.0	"Thrusting One Hand Sword" item class changed to "One Hand Sword".
3.3.0	Added 3D art.
2.6.0	Base type implicit mod reduced to +25% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier (down from +30%). Base type damage increased to 4-18 (up from 4-15).
2.2.0	All sources of increased Critical Strike Multiplier have been changed to additional Critical Strike Multiplier. This change brings the functionality in line with how most players think it works. Because of this, all items, passives and some skills/support gems that used to have increased Critical Strike Multiplier are now 33% less effective on players, despite having the same value. A number of these have been adjusted in value to maintain similar effectiveness. Blessed Orbs are required to update the following to their new values: implicits mods on all Rapier base types, implicits mods on Curved Blades, Lithe Blades and Exquisite Blades.
0.11.1c	The unique item Tipua Kaikohuru has had its name changed to The Goddess Bound. Old items will still have the old name, while new ones that drop will have the new one.
0.10.0	Critical multiplier mods on weapons are now global, not local.
0.9.10	Introduced to the game.
