Some new things in brief:
	Horardric Cube - now available at character startup. The cube has been reduced in size to 1x1 to allow room for more stuff in backpack. Now you can make use of those new cube recipes right away.
	Food - has been added. Transmute food in the Cube to create potions. Meat foods will transmute to Healing potions and Fruit foods will transmute to Mana potions. Combine up to three of same foods to create higher potency potions.
	Elixir - a main ingredient for the most useful cube recipes. Usually dropped by champions and at higher difficulties. Cannot be consumed directly.
	Magic Arrows/Bolts - can be purchased from vendors and be further imbued through cube recipes. These magic quivers can be recharged by selling to and buying back from vendors who do not sell magic quivers. Magic quivers come with standard magic attributes. Cube recipes can be used to successively stack additional attributes.
	Poisoned Quills - can be purchased from vendors. Quills are obtained from Quillbears and modified to be fired from missile weapons. These quills have inherent poison damage and are a cheap alternative to magic arrows. Good for starting characters. Available from Charsi and Fara only.
	Bracers - are a weapon alternative considered the equivalent of bare-fisted fighting (aka Hercules). For players who are looking for a unique challenge may consider this "unarmed" combat style. Best suited for Barbs, but available to anyone.
	Star Weapons - for Assassins only. These weapons can have up to 4 sockets and offer an alternative for high-level Assassins. Rare and hard to find but well-worth the effort.
	Cube Scrolls - are one-time use cube recipes with simple input ingredients and an output item. Insert the input materiels with the cube scroll into the Horadric cube and click on Transform button for resulting item. These scrolls appear as Common, Uncommon, Secret and Arcane.
	Demon Box - is a rare item that can only be opened when transmuted in the Horadric Cube with a Demon Key. The output item may be good or bad. Some clue is given by the Box itself. Feeling lucky, punk?
	Tokens - can be transmuted with items to add new attributes. Tokens come in four flavors - Solo, Duet, Trio and Demon. Each token can be upgraded to the next higher token type through Cube recipes listed in the Mod Guide. Two Solos make a Duet. A Solo and a Duet make a Trio. And a Demon Token can be made using a Trio and a Demon Key. Very powerful!


	Zy-El Scroll - fragments of this scroll can be found and combined in the Cube to form a completed Scroll. This Scroll enables the crafting of the Zy-El Artifacts - godly unique items.
