Typos
- Combining a Broken Key (Lower) and Broken Key (Middle) creates a Broken Lever, when in fact, it should create another form of Broken Key.
- The First Lieutenant's Insignia. [sic] contains a period (.) in the item name. This is likely a typo.
- Leather armor has an extra space in the item name.
Minor Errors

- Amateur Explorer Simi is Ivoryable despite it only being Bonded.
- All three Sparking Atlan Two Handed Swords have the spell Fiery Blessing instead of Storm's Blessing.
- ID panel for the Major Flaming Isparian Spear and the Enhanced Flaming Isparian Spear displays a weapon type and also incorrectly as a mace type.
