📋 About This Mod

WHAT DOES IT DO?

  • []Lets the user customise drop rates for mining nodes and their masterwork materials.

    []Fixes some missing masterwork materials, such as Drakestone tier 2 (there was a typo in the filename).

    []Adds Tier 1 masterwork metals (don't get excited, they're very mundane - but we can change that in the included bonus mod). These metals are NOT regular Tier 1 masterwork metal, they will be called "Masterwork" and not "Fade-Touched" in your bag.

      If you're a Frosty Mod Manager user, bear in mind that I don't use it, can't test it and don't guarantee that it'll work.

      INCOMPATIBLE WITH...

      This mod will interfere with MoreFadeTouched, you can put this mod after MoreFadeTouched in the load order to gain the effects from this mod and retain the leather/cloth bonuses from that one. There will be a warning-on-merge which you can ignore.

      I am not 100% sure because my notes became rather confused, but I believe these are the abilities I added to the Tier 1 metal Masterwork materials;

      1. singing defense buff

      2. singing offsense

      3. elemental weapon coldsnap proc (10%)

      4. elemental weapon fireball proc

      5. counterstrike Guardian spirit blocks one melee attack every 30s

      6. miasma On hit: chance to spawn a toxic cloud at target location

      7. warcry: taunt enemies within 8m for 4s

      8. evil keel haul : On hit: chance to bind enemy with evil eye

      9. Yololeap

      10. Rampage: On kill, movement and attack speed increases

      11. Hemorrhage: On hit: chance to place a stack of hemorhage causing DoT

      13. Elemental Mines: on hit, chance that mines with spawn around your target

      14. permafire

      15. permafrost

      16. permashock

      18. blessed blades

      Quirk: I had to add something to Blue Vitriol and Iron and there wasn't anything appropriate, so I've chosen for them to drop tier 1 masterwork material from each other.

      SAVING SETTINGS

      If you want to try to save your settings between merges, you can edit the Daimod file with Notepad++ because it saves the weird characters correctly (other text editors don't).
