✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tweaks legendary drops to make loot more exciting and rewarding
- MCM options give you fine control over how legendaries work
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (11k downloads, 37 endorsements) shows it's being used
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count (37) suggests it's not widely tested or community-vetted
- No mention of compatibility with other loot or difficulty mods, so you might hit conflicts
- Last updated in September 2025, so it may not be updated for the latest game patches
For players who feel legendary drops are too rare or too random and want to tailor them to their playstyle. If you're a modder who loves MCM customization, this is right up your alley. Skip if you prefer vanilla loot balance or don't want to fiddle with settings.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the MCM after installing to adjust drop rates and enemy equipment effects to your liking.
- If you're using other loot overhaul mods, test them together to see if they conflict—ILD might override their changes.
- Make sure your game is up to date, since the mod was last updated in September 2025 and may not work with newer patches.
