Endgame

Installation Update; After the last patch on the game from SE, the only way I've found to get the mod working is to use the Vortex Mod manager. Make sure to install the required mods first, then this. Compatibility with other mods is not guaranteed.

This mod changes various endgame Weapons and Armor to make them more interesting than simply stronger versions of plain weapons and armors. It also makes all bazaar recipes repeatable. The idea behind these changes was to encourage farming and crafting endgame gear instead of cheesing Trial Mode.

The license boards have also been revised. One board contains all the licenses and is laid out similar to the original PS2 version of the game (credit: m9l5t1). The other boards focus more on what their respective job is meant to be. The biggest LB change is a job named the Summoner. It is a very physically weak job that dabbles in all the magics, but it is the only job that has the licenses for the espers in the game (except Belias which all jobs have in order to ensure the game isn't broken for a particular story part).

Plans for the future (EDITED - 12/21/24)

While originally I had intended to do a lot of other things with this, I was never able to figure out how to do what I wanted. Then some other games came out, and then BG3.... so ya this mod will no longer be updated, however it is still working and the changes made herein are all (in my opinion) nice changes that don't unbalance the game (with maybe the exception of the Zodiac license board - but that is optional).
