📋 About This Mod

Weapons, armor, food. More realistic and balanced item prices, weights and food properties. Better economy.

More historical accuracy, balance and believability to the game items. 

Economy became harder to abuse:

1) Combat loot is generally cheaper (cheaper helmets, bracers, gauntlets, leg armor, bows, axes, maces, hammers).

2) More adequate and believable prices per unit of weight.

Armor

Gambesons: -25% less weight for all gambesons, pourpoints, caftans.

Chainmails: Increased price (x2-x3), for mailed coifs too; weights corrected;  +25% to stab&slash defense, durability +50%.

Cuirasses: corrected weights and prices; low-level plates are -30% cheaper.

Brigandines: increased weight to realistic (~15 lbs), increased price (x1. 5-x2).

Helmets: most are x2 cheaper; weights corrected.

Gauntlets: most are x3 cheaper; some weight edits.

Armplates (bracers): x2 cheaper; some weight edits.

Leg plates: weight corrections; price decreased x1. 3-x2. For couters price increased x3.

Weapons

Melee weapons damage is reduced -35% (for all). Armor will be much more protective thanks to this.

Heavy weapons (Axes, maces, hammers): most are x1. 5-x2. 5 cheaper; weight decreased to realistic. Axes slash damage increased +25%.

Swords: Damage formula changed : stab damage is stronger, slash is weaker. (100-110% stab damage, 75% slash damage).  Switched properties of Knight’s Longsword and Common Longsword (by default Common longsword was better); their recipes price too.

Polearms: weight decreased, some prices increased.

Bows: most are x2-x3 cheaper.

Crossbows: weight increased from 3 lbs to 6\7\8 lbs depending on their type.

Ammo (arrows, bolts, bullets): price decreased x2. Hunting arrows and bolts: damage type is changed from piercing to slashing (like in some KCD1 arrows, it should increase hunting effectiveness).

Shields: corrected weights and prices.

Daggers: weight decreased 1=0. 5 lbs.

Some weight corrections.

Boots: some boots price increased.

Coifs: weight decreased to 0. 5 for head, 1-1. 5 for head+shoulders.

Pants: for padded pants weight decreased 5. 7=3. 7.

Gloves: price decreased -30% for mitts, leather, riding gloves.

Food prices mostly reverted to pre-1. 2 patch’s values (they are more realistic, fair and friendly).

Corrected nutrition benefits for some food.

Some food now increase hunger: leek, onion, garlic, horseradish.

Fruits and vegetables: mostly don’t heal anymore.

Honey is nerfed by 3 times in all atributes (because there is too many of it in beehives).

Meat:  special parts (heart, liver etc)
