Patch 13.10change

With the cost of items going down, there was a need to create a late game gold sink for when your inventory is full. Watchful and Vigilant Wardstone is intended to be that later game gold sink for Supports. We also smoothed out Blessing of Ixtal so you get a smaller bonus with Watchful Wardstone, just in case you want to buy the item a little earlier in the mid-game.
