💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple ESP, just drop it into your Data folder or use your mod manager – no patches needed.
- If you're using other mods that alter Embershard Mine, check for conflicts in your load order to avoid missing changes.
- Expect tougher fights early on – bring potions or a follower if you're below level 5.
