So i think these changes make no sense. It's different, but it's still the same amount of grinding. Maybe i'm wrong, can't be sure 100%.
Oil of renewal will automatically make an ideal (or semi ideal) item for runewords. IDK why you would want to have more of the base item.
Removal of Xis is good because it adds different weights to different upgraded runes. Will allow for power curve instead of trying to equalize 200 recipes in power, because they all use same level runes (Xis + whatever).
Would be better if 2 zods would have NOT made Ol rune, so that uptiering new and old runes would have been completely separate, but oh well. It's devs who decided that, so there's probably a reason for it.
