Smart Drops for MAGIC and RARE items

UPDATE for 2. 6 included

What does this mod do ? I explain it with a little example.

When a magic or rare item drops, its mods get randomly chosen from a list of PREFIX and SUFIX magic enchanments.

All enchantments need a minimum lvl ( item) to be possible to roll in vanilla. like that:

Min LVL    EFFECT

Jagged  1  10-20% ED

Deadly  5  20-30% ED

Vicious  8  30-40% ED

........... and so on

So a LVL 2 Weapon can only roll Jagged

but a LVL 9 Weapon can either roll Jagged, Deadly or Vicious (but only one of those).

ALL the mod changes is, that now every Effect has a MAX LVL, once (and only if) it gets replaced by a stronger possible enchantment.

It looks like that:

Min LVL   Max LVL   EFFECT

Jagged  1   5   10-20% ED

Deadly  5   8   20-30% ED

Vicious  8       30-40% ED

........... and so on

So a LVL 2 Weapon can only roll Jagged

and a LVL 9 Weapon can only roll Vicious

Vanilla: you need luck for: correct property to roll, high tier to roll, high score on each tier to roll.

with this mod you need still: correct property to roll, high tier to roll, high score on each tier to roll.  so less chance needed to roll truly

epic stuff. it makes quite a difference, yet identifing an item is still exciting since it can be pure garbage or an uber item.

Whats the effect in Gameplay?

You get still the random drops like in Vanilla D2R

All items that drop are absolutely possible to drop in Vanilla D2R the same way.

BUT the enchantment strength  of you drops will correspond to the lvl of area/monster you get it from.

Can i still get like lower level enchantments on my items once i am lvl 90+ ?

Of course. This mod has nothing to do with your level. But you need to go to a lower level area (like normal difficulty) to get Blue/rare items with weak enchants. If you play in hell, the enchantments are corresponding to high level and endgame.

Can i stll roll absolutely crap items?

Oh for sure. its D2R, there will be still the normal randomness and absolute charsi food trash items you love. but your chances of rolling something epic are much higher with this mod.

ok, final question: WHY???

Well, do you like to play single player but are missing the easy acess to trade items like in bnet?

You are frustrated, that maybe your grand grand son will finally find that epic rare ring you need for your build?

But on the other hand, you do like the feeling of "pride and accomplishment" D2R gives you 4 real due to its randomness and chance? So a perfect roll mod for magic and rare is overkill and feels like cheat
