Game Update 0.16.994

• Cleaned up some NPC ability functionality, damage, and cooldowns.
• The vendor purchase and sale prices for Alchemical Flux has been increased.

Adjusted the stats on;

• Gown of the Hearth (was missing 1 stat, added it to INT), added small spellpower bonus as a placeholder.
• Charred Guardian's Cuirass (shuffled stats to add +4 WIS to shift the item towards Cleric usage, to align with class armor usability goals based on level). Added 2 Spell Power as a placeholder stat to be replaced by a specific damage type bonus later.
• Garnet-Studded Emberlinks (Reduced charisma, added it elsewhere and 1 additional missing point)
• Crystalline Plate Helm (Reduced CHA by 1, increased WIS by 1), added small spellpower bonus as a placeholder.
• Increased item level of the Investigator rings and added some extra stat(s). The spell power bonuses on the caster and priest version are placeholder until we get specific healing and damage type bonuses available.
• Headband of Woven Crystal has had its INT bonus moved to CON, and the spell crit removed since no Monk abilities use them now.
• Corrected the AC value on Frosthowl Raider Greaves (slight increase)
• Spear of Endless Frost now has +2 STR, +27 crit rating, +27 hit rating.

• Increased CON and WIS by 1 on the Emberweave Ceremonial Shawl
