Version 1.10g is now out! This fixes a few minor bugs and also adds the ability to upgrade Golems - simply take them to an Artificer town and you can then re-spec them (for a cost!). This should make Golems more useful since you can now keep them leveled with your party. You can also buy items in groups of 10 simply by holding the shift key when in the store. Version 1.10g Changes

• Golems can now be upgraded, simply bring them to any Artificer town
• Can buy items in lots of 10 by holding shift
• Fixed issue where Gladiator recruits were not Arena Champions
• Fix Ice slime and Earth slime text entries, also indicate which can't be stunned?
• Improve starting town placement on large worlds

Version 1.10e is now out, with two changes:

• Fix 2 floor 3 party boss dungeons
• Reduce buff/debuff durations at higher levels

Some boss dungeons (such as the Elemental Lords) were unbeatable due to a bug in dungeon generation, that has now been fixed. Durations for buff and de-buff skills (Bless, Curse, etc.) have been reduced greatly at higher levels. High level curses were effectively permanent, due to extremely long durations, which was kinda silly.
