📋 About This Mod
Installation Place the bld.arc inside your nativePC\rom\wp\w2 folder and replace. Make a backup of your old bld.arc FIRST if you want to revert changes. These changes are still in testing. Feel free to provide feedback if something doesn't work as intended.
Increased enchanter/trance/invocation enchant durations to 3/4/6 minutes respectively. It is possible to change the amount of magic attack added per rank. Left Unchanged from 70->100->130.
Now with extended Dark/Abyssal Anguish at 4/5 minutes respectively.
Shield enchants now last 2->4->5 minutes based on rank from 1->2->3 minutes.
Now by request has a 30 minute to weapon/shield enchants optional version.
For some reason the lightning shield enchant came with higher perfect block frames than higher levels (i.e. 10 for 1st rank, 5 for 2nd and 3rd) Corrected to match the other elements at 5->10->10. There is now an optional file that ONLY fixes this and nothing else.
Holy Aid/Grace buffed perfect block frame increase from 0->5 and 5->10 respectively to match elemental enchants. Holy Aid unable to heal grey HP even though its changeable. Left Unchanged. Holy Aid and Holy Grace duration increased to 2 and 3 minutes respectively. Holy Aid and Holy Grace possible healing rate increased from normal and perfect blocks alike. Holy Wall and Holy Fortress duration increased to match Holy Aid/Grace. Holy Wall and Holy Fortress buffed to increase perfect block frames from 0->10 and 0->15 respectively. These might not have had any increased prefect blocks as some previously thought. Demonspite and Demonswrath duration increased to match Holy Aid/Grace. Demonspite/Demonswrath buffed to match elemental shield enchant perfect block frame increase respective of rank 0->5 and 5->10. Demonspite fully charged faster (slight). Demonswrath fully charged faster (slight).
If requested, Every shield enchant can be given the same heal ability holy aid/grace has. This effectively makes holy aid/grace obsolete but also saves a slot on your shield skill ring by combining these 2 into one. If someone wants an increased heal version (likely could be broken strong) this can be done as well.
