📋 About This Mod

Optional file done as a request that increases the amount of Power received from closing fade rifts 10x.

New version is up that fixes the journal issue (journal entries now accurately reflect increased Power cost). It took me a while to figure out how to do those edits, and I ended up creating a spreadsheet that decodes how the plotconfiguration file works. If you want to make a custom multiplier for Power costs (or edits to individual quests), it might be helpful.

I did increase the Power cost of "In Your Heart Shall Burn" in this version from 3 to 5 to make up for the 2 points that can't be added onto "Scout the Hinterlands."

I also updated "Scattered Glyphs" to accurately reflect the increased Power cost of "Investigate the Elven Glyphs."

All quests/missions (DLC included) now cost 3x more Power. 0 * 3 = 0, so quests that cost 0 Power originally are not affected by this mod.

The only quest I didn't increase was "Scout the Hinterlands," since you're given that 1 Power that it costs and would have no way to get 3 Power before that point in the plot.

Thank you isaonhieno for the mod idea.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod changes Power costs, plan your quest order carefully to avoid getting stuck without enough Power to advance the main story.
  • If you find the 3x cost too punishing, enable the optional fade rift bonus to earn more Power from rifts.
  • Check the mod's compatibility with any other gameplay mods you use, as Power cost changes may conflict with mods that alter quest rewards.
