Soul Grinding and Material Farming No More (DS2)

Soul and Material Farming No More (for DS2 Scholar of the First Sin)

What this mod does:

S&M Farming No More is a mod designed to make your playthrough of Dark Souls II 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+ (60 in NG+2, 70 in NG+3, 80 in NG+4 and 90 from NG+5 and onwards).

- Item / Loot drop rate and amount has increased substantially for upgrade materials (titanite), dragon scales, and all stones. For example, an enemy that had a 1% drop rate for titanite will now have it increased to 65%-80%, 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:

- Install UXM (if you haven't already) https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/26 (credit to TKGP)

- Unpack Dark Souls II's contents (if you haven't already) with UXM

- Unzip my mod and move the files inside your Dark Souls II Game folder. Before doing so, however, make a backup of your ENTIRE Game folder (inside your Dark Souls II folder) in case you want to uninstall.

UNINSTALL:

Delete the Game folder and replace it with the Game folder I told you to make a backup of.

CAUTION:

I have not tested this mod online, and it's quite probable that the game will either force you to play offline, or lock your Dark Souls account if you attempt to play online with this mod installed. However, once you uninstall it, you can 99. 9999% safely play online without any sort of penalty.

This mod won't work on the vanilla Dark Souls 2. It was made for Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin edition.
