From a quick glance, the vendor screens seem the same, so still no elite items
on sale in act 1 hell, for example. I haven't done much more than have a
quick wander around act 1 hell, since I've been busy reading the forums, hehe.
Okay, I took a level 77 single player amazon back to act 1 normal, and all the
mercenaries that Kashya had listed for sale had a minimum level 72 (which,
thankfully, is what I speculated the change might be in another group), so no
more level cap based on act/difficulty.
I'm uncertain if the amount of experience that mercenaries need to level up
has changed. Someone with 1.10 still installed would need to check.
Level 77 Holy Freeze mercenary from act 2 nightmare - listed as needing
57,676,320 experiencem, in 1.11. Is that less than 1.10?
