The Item Upgrade mod allows Cromwell and Cespenar to upgrade additional items in BGII. One third of them are convenience functions (e.g., they save you ring or boot space), one third of them try to beef up categories of weapons that are "weak by comparison" (e.g., clubs and spears), and one third of them upgrade NPC-specific items.
Version 50 was a fairly thorough review of the items with a particular focus on the EEs. Numerous minor discrepancies were found and fixed. Version 51 addresses some issues with the new EE Fixpack code that could preventiinstallation.
