📋 About This Mod

Skyshards have a chance to appear in chests at the end of dungeons. Consuming a Skyshard grants the player a perk point.

I've found this to be a straightforward and fun addition to dungeon loot, that lets you make wider class builds than the game typically allows. Also good for players who use vastly expanded perk trees, where the vanilla progression doesn't supply enough.

This plugin requires the mod Skyshards Offer Skills by Ashen, and disables most of its functionality in favor of this lighter approach. Let this mod overwrite that one. It also includes Ayleid crystal textures by PraedythXVI - thank you for opening permissions.

Default chance for Skyshards to appear is 45%, but that may be modified using the included JSON file. This mod also supports Description Framework, as shown below.

That's pretty much it - enjoy!
