4. Changed Equipment Enhancing

	* Got rid of the progress bar. Skill level will automatically increase with equipment level when equipment is enhanced to 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13.
	* To accommodate changes to equipment skills, and without changing stats for Lv 5 skills, we greatly increased the stats for Lv 1 equipment skills to balance out the equipment skill disparity between players at different enhancement levels.
