The Old Ball & Chain.

Due to certain issues with item names containing ampersands, the weapon conversion chambers that inhabit most of the weapon shops across Elanthia have been updated to handle weapons with the noun "ball & chain." Placing such weapons within the chambers will convert them to the more parser-friendly "ball and chain."

The random weapon generator and a few permanent shops have also been altered to no longer produce ball & chain items.
