Build 1.60.1.70374: two level-60 sets lock to one class, and a big Rare-to-Uncommon sweep

· ForeverDB
The October 15 beta build adds 38 items and changes 177 more. The "of Glory" plate set now lists Warrior and the Spiritcaller mail set now lists Shaman, a new Violet Sorcerer's cloth set appears at level 30, and dozens of world-drop items drop from Rare to Uncommon.
Beta client build 1.60.1.70374 landed on October 15, after the previous build 1.60.1.70291. Kaivax posted that the beta went down for maintenance on October 14. No spells were added or removed in the files (two spell rows changed), but the item files moved a lot: 38 items added, 177 changed and one set changed. The headline changes are two level-60 armour sets that now name a single class, a fresh Violet Sorcerer's cloth set at level 30, and a wide sweep of world-drop items dropping from Rare to Uncommon.
From the game files. This is what the beta client's data says changed in build 1.60.1.70374 (since 1.60.1.70291), compared by ForeverDB. It shows the files, not how things play: the server can change numbers the client doesn't show.
