📋 About This Mod

This mod offers a comprehensive rebalancing of ranged weapons (including Smithscript Dagger to some extent) while also adding effects to existing arrows/bolts so they can be differentiated from their crafted counterparts.

Hi, this is my first released mod even though i've been in the community for quite a few years already.

This mod tries to rebalance ranged weapons to a degree where they can be usable as standalone weapons rather than status machines or to not use a ruined fragment if you don't have a ranged option avaliable with your build to pick off enemies one by one.

Also tweaked some talismans and ammo so they feel better with these builds.

- New class: Marksman. It starts with Shortbow, Smithscript Dagger, Soldier Crossbow and Leather Set

- Bows, Greatbows, Crossbows and Ballistae now have scalings and greater power in general so they can work as standalone weapons

- Some ranged weapons now have better innate AoWs to them

- Crossbows now reload faster and can cancel the animation earlier

- Crossbows now have a selection of AoWs to choose from (If the AoW spawns any kind of bullet, it'll use ammo as resource)

- Holding animations for all ranged weapons are now sped up so they don't have a detrimental effect on the player while walking

- Ammunition has been tweaked and revisited (Damage, poise damage, stamina damage…)

- Special Ammunition has a clip size of 50/100 for Arrows/Bolts. Crafted ammunition has 250 (Some exceptions)

- Fletched Arrows now have homing

- Some talismans have been tweaked

- Blinkbolt has been sped up so it can find a usage between its brethren (Quickstep/Bloodhound Step)

- Smithscript Dagger has been buffed so it can also work as a decent weapon (Scalings, base damage, etc for all its infusions too)

- Smithscript Dagger is now faster

- Crafting ammunition now gives more ammunition from it

- Some enemies now have a much higher chance of dropping some crafting materials and more quantity

- Iji now sells Smithing Talisman- Soaring Sting can now stack with its counterparts (But it no longer can with Blade of Mercy)

- Non-craftable arrows (Except Spiritflame) and bolts now have added effects to them

- AoW: Barrage now triggers Sword Insignia/Prosthesis Talismans

- Bernahl now sells Blinkbolt at Limgrave

- Twin Maiden Husk and Kalé's shop now sells certain arrows and bolts once certain bosses fall or you arrive at a new location

- Normal Arrows and Bolts can now be crafted (At the cost of smithing stones)- Wormface in Altus Plateau now also drops a new Crystal Tear

- Spiritflame Arrows are now craftable when obtaining Nomadic Merchant Cookbook

- Skeletons and Fallen Hawk Soldiers now drop Ghostflame Bloom

- Buffed Stormhawk Deenh

- Some Nomadic Merchants throughout the game sell certain bows for progression purposes

- Serpent Bow is now a Lightbow

Sorry if i don't get into specifics with these changes, i made so many and scrapped so many that i utterly forgot what the exacts are, at least regarding locations or exact
