Additional options: All, which allows you to remove all glory affects from an item. , which allows you to remove a specific glory affect, in the cases where an item has more than one glory affect applied.

If you find an issue, please bug it with the specifics of what is wrong (such as level, wait times, costs, etc.). Any bug report without specific will be closed without investigation.
06/26/2024 Crash fix. When wild mob attempted to locate a target and no other target was in room, would cause crash.
