• PvP season one's verbosity minigame did not count the back slot.
• When first implemented Back Items had no stat requirements. This was changed on July 16th 2012.
• Until December 17 2012 Back Items could not be Pulverized.
• The TΤ◊lisman of Baiø‡ used to count as 30 characters until February 18, 2014.
