Changes

Ethereal items are always found with full durability, unlike normal, magical, and rare items. Of course this full durability is about half the normal, but instead of finding say 23/50 Field Plate, the ethereal will have 27/27 when found.

Ethereal items calculate the 50% defense or damage increase on the base item, and that is then modified by any mods on the item. This makes for much larger improvements in defense/damage.
