Global changes:
- Unfortunately, there is still a bunch of people who died more than 100 times ,so Talisman gives +100 to Luck and +150 to Endurance (As I can see, average players dies 50 times for early stages of mod ).

- Strength and Dexterity requirements for assassin's exotic weapon are reduced.
- Three new monsters: Greater Air, Fire, and Earth Elementals (Thanks to Mouse and Alkalund for their tokens). Avatars are changed as well.
- I changed the way Ancient Containers spawns. Now they are divided into three qualities (Normal, Nightmare, Hell). And there is less magic and rare items from Containers.
- I revealed blood recipes for torso armor (see Cube Recipes section in Battle for Elements.doc).
- New conception: Runescripts. Remember that You cannot to carry more than one instance of each runescript.
- Some small fixes and balancing.

Remember that is update, so You need version 1.21 of mod installed to install version 1.22. You may get 1.22 here . Full mod documentation is here .
Characters from versions 1.2x are compatible with this version.
Well, and again, there is more bugfixes than something new, but something new is present too.
Global changes:
Many players reported that 3 skill points per level is too many. So character gains 2 skill points per level again.
Please, note that character loses 1 point of Endurance for each character's death and 10 points of Luck for each opening of Ancient Container with only key. So if Your character have strange skills behavior (like decreasing of cold resistance with Cold Resist aura), then go to fourth page of character's statistics window and check Luck and Endurance values, probably one or both are negative. It is not bug. Try to not allow these statistics to reach 0 or negative values.
New:
PlugY 6.01b is applied. (Great Thanks to Yohann !!!)
Throwing knives, throwing axes and javelins are socketable now.
