📋 About This Mod

Hello everyone!

You can find information about the set on the website, and a detailed description in my Discord channel.

With the release of the official version 3. 0 of the game, I'd like to share my project, PROJECT Z, with you. This is currently the largest (of which I'm aware) complete set of mechanics, working only on the server side and without disabling EAC. All the project blocks significantly expand the game and provide a new gaming experience. I'm sure many who have been looking for mods separately will understand what I'm talking about and will be pleasantly surprised by the current build. You can find more detailed information on our Discord server. We look forward to seeing everyone. Here is a description of the main project blocks:

Armor Balance

A complete rebalancing of all armor in the game and the addition of new set bonuses. Also added is a bonus depending on the armor class when wearing one type, as well as a half-set mechanic (double the bonus when wearing two or three pieces of a set).

Better Quest Rewards

Rewards for completing quests of level 3 and above have been reworked. The rewards are now slightly larger and more useful.

Better Stacks

The stack sizes for most items in the game have been adjusted for easier storage and collection.

BigInv 78 Slots
