DS3 Grinding and Farming No More

Soul and Material Farming No More

What this mod does

S&M Farming No More is a mod designed to make your playthrough of Dark Souls III less tedious by virtually removing (or at least greatly reducing) the grinding/farming aspect of it. Specifically:

- All enemies give x10 times the Souls they gave in NG.

- All enemies give x50 times the Souls they gave in NG+.

- Item / Loot drop rate and amount has increased substantially for upgrade materials (titanite), gems, stones and covenant items. For example, an enemy that had a 1% drop rate for titanite will now have it increased to 40-70%, and will drop a LOT more than just one shard.

- Loot on chests, containers, corpses and sub-bosses has also increased. Basically, almost all enemies which had a 100% chance of dropping loot will now drop that loot in greater quantities.

- Amount of souls gained on corpses do not give more souls but come in much larger quantities (i.e. a corpse may have 80 Souls of a Proud Knight).

What this mod DOESN'T do:

- It does not buff your character or their items in any way.

- It does not decrease the amount of Souls you need to level up or buy items

- It does not change the type of loot a container has or an enemy drops

This mod was designed with one purpose in mind: To greatly reduce the times you needed to go back to an area and kill its inhabitants over and over and over and over again until you got the XP or the titanite necessary to upgrade your weapon or armor. Basically tedious mechanics which only serve the purpose to make you waste time on the game, or 'force' you go to an area without being as prepared or well-equipped as you would like to be, because you can't stand farming an area thirty times.

INSTALLATION:

- Download my mod.

- Unzip the file and it will reveal to you a 'data0.bdt' file.

- Replace the 'data0.bdt' file which resides inside the game's installed folder with the new one. (to locate your 'Dark Souls III' game folder, in your Steam Library, right click on Dark Souls III - in your game list on the left part of your screen -, select 'Manage' and then 'Browse Local Files'. It should open your browser at the exact location of your Dark Souls III folder - it's the one called 'DARK SOULS III' - INSIDE that folder you'll find a 'game' folder. INSIDE that folder you'll find the data0.bdt file you need to replace with the 'data0.bdt' you downloaded from my mod) BEFORE REPLACING IT, however, make a copy of the original data0.bdt file, in case you want to uninstall.

- At your Steam window, click the 'Steam' menu at the top left of your screen and select 'Go Offline'.

- Run the game.

UNINSTALL: Replace your data0.bdt file with the one I told you to make a backup of.

CAUTION: I have not tested this mod
