That's something of a pity (and a PITA) about the Exceptional to Unique weapon upgrade. Lum runes are already integral in the only two high-resist armor runewords, and the only general-purpose staff runeword. If I ruled the world, I might have chosen a less in-demand rune, maybe Io or Hel, or maybe even Dol, althought that may be too common.
I hope that there will be new non-Lum runewords for armor, staves, and (dare I dream it) orbs.
On the other hand, I would expect rune upgrades from Io and even Hel would make the "Lum shortage" more bearable.
As for Amn, Sol and Shael, bring them on! "Strength" and "Honor" are a big elements in arming my mercs (and occasionally an unlucky character). And you just can't have too many Shaels.
