EpicLoot, contrary to those who say it's not being updated, is not the case. Randy is actively updating his mods (with updates in the past 2 days).

Also, it's never been "less stable", it's never been anything but flawless for us. If anyone has stability issues, it's one of their other lesser mods causing it. I certainly wouldn't mix it with EpicLoot since they're shooting to do similar things - that's just asking for trouble.

Is EpicLoot fixed yet? Dunno, haven't tested since initially when Mistlands dropped.

It's unlikely Jewelcraft will ever get much/any attention from me, but I commend the guy for working on it. "Cool" is different for everyone. EpicLoot fits my bill.
