📋 About This Mod
I'd originally been using LongRest Guidance, but it's no longer working as of Patch 7. It felt so nice not having to recast Guidance over and over while exploring or having a conversation, so I built a functionally identical mod with BG3 Toolkit to be compatible with Patch 7 & 8.
This mod allows Guidance to be active until taking a long rest, rather than just for 10 turns. That's it. Install with Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager or place directly in your game directory's "data/Mods" folder.
This mod extends the duration of the Guidance spell from 10 turns to until the next long rest. It is a simple quality-of-life tweak for players who want the buff to persist without constant recasting. With 17 endorsements and recent updates, it is a niche but functional option for Baldur's Gate 3 players.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- No more recasting Guidance every 10 turns—set it and forget it
- Patch 8 compatible, so it's up to date with the latest game version
- Lightweight mod that does exactly what it says
⚠️ Cons
- Only 17 endorsements—might be under-tested by the community
- Could make the game too easy by removing the need to manage spell duration
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who find recasting Guidance tedious and want a permanent buff. Skip if you prefer the challenge of managing spell durations or want more comprehensive spell overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to install this mod after updating to Patch 8 to avoid compatibility issues.
