Death Item changes and alternatives

I still use death items on my mules who are too low level to get the miser augs. So, I wanted to post here about the changes and some alternatives people can use.

The changes (not all are death items)

Massive Mana Stone - 65k to 10k
Titan mana stone - 31,250 to 9k
Superb mana stone - 12k to 8k
Pristine Mana Shard - 80k to 10.
Heritage magic school robes - 45,600 to 8k
Platinum Scarabs - 40k to 10k
Mana Scarabs - 50k to 15k at society house
Major Item Tinkering Armature - 1 alt currency to 100 alt currency
Moderate Item Tinkering Armature - 50k to 10k
Minor Item Tinkering Armature - 10k to 5k
Thorsten's Armor - 100k to 15k
Many portal gems - most seem unchanged, except master mage gems
Master Mage Gems - 20k to 1k

Some alternative Death items which have not been changed:

Also, you can do it the old school way and collect gold to be applied to high value items via Item Tinkering.

If anyone knows of any other related items or related information, I'd be interested in hearing it.
