==Branches, Environment==
* Player ghost vaults:
** Ghosts now only appear in vaults sealed by runed doors or transporters.
** The ghost is always visible from outside the vault through clear walls.
** Dozens of new ghost vaults with a variety of themes. All contain loot, and many place other monsters with extra loot.
** Each level from Dungeon:3 onwards has a fixed chance of placing a ghost vault in most connected branches.
* Players on [[Abyss]]:1-4 will sometimes be drawn a level deeper, with the chance increasing based on XL and decreasing based on current depth.
* The [[Hall of the Hellbinder]] WizLab has fewer higher-tier demons.
* [[Two-headed ogre]]s are less common in earlier dungeon levels.

==Character==
* The player can use [[wand]]s in all forms.
* The player can't order allies while confused.
* The MP-powered wand mutation allows use of wands at 0 MP and is now considered a good mutation.

==Gods==
* [[Dithmenos]] revamp:
** Dithmenos's Shadow Step ability no longer requires the target monster to be 'still' and has an HP cost of 8% max HP.
** Dithmenos no longer has an anti-fire conduct and allows use of fire-themed spells, items, and abilities.
** Dithmenos is now an evil god, hence is hated by the good gods and holy monsters.
* [[Fedhas]]' Sunlight is now the 1* ability and Evolution is now the 2* ability.
* [[Makhleb]]'s Major Destruction has its range increased to 7 and Minor Destruction has its range reduced to 5.
* [[Yredelemnul]]'s Enslave Soul ability is now smite-targeted.
* [[Trog]] no longer has a Burn Spellbook ability.

==Interface==
* In the Tiles minimap, the exploration horizon has a distinct colour.
* WebTiles chat improvements (server support may vary):
** The player can use `/mute' and `/unmute' commands on chatters.
** The `/mutelist' command shows the current mute list.
** The chat window has a minimize button that removes message notification.
** The `/hide' and `/hide forever` commands minimize/remove the chat window.
* Wands of digging now have a targeter showing the dig range.
* Updated visual theme for Tiles and WebTiles.
* Tiles and WebTiles informational screens now show tiles where appropriate.

==Items==
* New Amulet: the [[amulet of the acrobat]], which boosts the wearer's EV by 15 for non-attacking movement and rest actions.
* The [[Mace of Variability]] is reworked to sometimes create arcs of chaos that harm nearby monsters, but not the wielder. The enchantment is now a fixed +7.
* The [[Vampire's Tooth]] is now a +12 quick blade instead of a +4 dagger.
* [[Maxwell's Thermic Engine]] no longer has rC- and rF-.
* All fog types from [[scrolls of fog]] now spread like grey and black fog.

==Monsters==
* Player ghosts can now follow the player through stairs.
* [[Minotaur (monster)|Minotaur]] monsters have increased health, defenses, and HD. They also spawn with armour and either tomahawks or javelins.
* [[Swamp worm]]s and [[iron giant]]s now have [[Harpoon Shot]]: a range 6 ability that fires a shot which pulls the player adjacent.
* [[Harold]] has better melee damage and armour, and he places earlier. His Bolt of Fire and Blink spells are replaced with Harpoon Shot and Sentinel's Mark.
* [[Jorgrun]] has Iron Shot instead of Shatter and places earlier.
* [[Ilsuiw]] spawns on Shoals:2-4 instead of nearly always spawning on Shoals:4.
* Engulf status from [[water elemental]]s now blocks god abilities but no longer slows movement.
* The Barb status from [[manticore]] barbs now counts any non-movement actions towards removing the status.
* Swamp worms no longer spawn submerged in water.
* [[Sojobo]], [[air elemental]]s, [[ball lightning]]s, and [[twister]]s have resistance to Tornado instead of resistance to all wind attacks.
* [[Shock serpent]] retaliation now properly checks rElec.

==Spells==
* Spell Library:
** Spells from books are automatically added to a global library upon pickup.
** Library spells can be memorized from anywhere through the 'M' screen.
** Spellbooks are destroyed after their spells are added to the library.
** Vehumet won't offer you a spell you already have in your library.
* [[Borgnjor's Vile Clutch]] constriction damage is reduced by 25% and the spell is no longer in the Necromancer starting book (the [[Book of Necromancy]]).
* [[Lee's Rapid Deconstruction]] can no longer destroy walls.
* [[Ozocubu's Armour]] now expires immediately upon movement.
* Spellcasting success rates no longer use a step-down, making L9 spells slightly easier to cast.
