All of that is just the beginning of what Iron Lore has in store for us, however.  In order to address some of the concerns of the original game Iron Lore has gone out of its way to set things straight.  For example, in order to help players out with their abundance of loot in the original game, Immortal Throne adds caravans to the mix.  Now when players find themselves overburdened with loot they can store the items via their friendly neighborhood caravan.  Want to retrieve said item?  Simply track down said caravan located in any city within the game.  Or better yet use the caravans to transfer the item to your other characters.

As far as the abundant money characters seem to amass, Iron Lore seeks to solve this problem by giving players more to spend their money on.  One such monetary diversion lies in the new enchanters that can be found among other vendors in the games.  The services offered by enchanters include separating items from relics and creating artifacts.  Artifacts which are also new are special items that can be created when players find an arcane formula.  Simply take the arcane formula and the materials required by the formula to an enchanter and for a small (or perhaps very large) fee they will construct the special artifact before your very eyes.  Scrolls have also been added to the market for players to purchase.  These are basically one-shot spells or buffs that players can carry around and use at their leisure.

Iron Lore didn't stop there.  They even added a new skill mastery to the mix.  The dream mastery adds an assortment of psionic and astral powers to a characters skill set that result in eight new character classes for players to choose from.  The aim of this new mastery was to add abilities that would enhance melee or caster type characters. 

Of course there are also a lot of little touches that have been added to surprise us when we finally get our hands on Immortal Throne.  These include things like auto sorting of inventory, improved pet AI, and a new auto party feature for online players.  Immortal Throne is looking like it could be the last bit of polish Titan Quest needed to make it a real contender for the action/RPG throne.
