Windrose Character Editor

Official Github Page

⚠ READ FIRST: Disable Steam Cloud for Windrose

Since the May 4 game patch, Windrose's saves are managed by an internal checkpoint system. If Steam Cloud is enabled, your edits will silently revert on the next game launch.

To disable: Steam → right-click Windrose → Properties → General → uncheck "Keep game saves in the Steam Cloud". If Steam asks about a conflict, pick "Use Local files".

This is a one-time setting. Without it, the editor cannot reliably persist changes.

What it does

• []Character — rename, change level + XP, edit all 6 stats (Strength / Agility / Precision / Mastery / Vitality / Endurance), distribute points across the full talent tree[/]

  []Inventory — swap any item, change quantity, edit equipment level 1→15[/]

  []Ships — swap hulls, edit cannons / sails / hull plates / boarding crew, manage cargo + consumables, set the flagship, repair damage, add new ships to your fleet, delete unwanted ones[/]

  []Customization — mix-and-match sails, hull colors, and flags across every faction style book you've unlocked (Stock, Brethren, Blackbeard, Buccaneers, Smugglers, Corsairs)[/]

  []Recipes — toggle every recipe paper your character has learned across cooking, alchemy, building, ship gear, and more. Search, filter by category, bulk-unlock entire categories[/]

  []Discovery — track every biome's discoveries (89 entries across Coastal Jungle, Foothills, Cursed Swamps, Ashlands). Layout matches the in-game UI exactly, same sections, same order, same boss progression locks (defeat the previous boss to unlock the next biome). Hover any tile for full game description, effects, vanity text. Bulk actions auto-skip locked biomes. Ashlands shows "Coming Soon" with an animated hourglass since the devs haven't released its content yet[/]

  []Live derived stats — Health, Defence Power, Critical Hit Chance, weapon damage etc. recalculate from the game's actual PAK math as you edit, so you see the real impact of every change before you save. Strength / Agility / Precision now correctly affect damage based on each weapon's hidden grade letter (S/A/B/C)[/]

  []Undo / redo — every edit is history-tracked (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y); slider drags collapse into single steps[/]

  []Build presets — export your current edits as a JSON file you can share with friends or re-apply later[/]

  []Backups — auto-snapshot before every save, restore-with-preview, per-row notes, one-click prune, restore-with-safety-snapshot[/]

  []Hot-patch catalog — when Windrose patches between editor releases, the editor pulls fresh PAK data from GitHub on demand, so you don't have to wait for a new build[/]

  []Auto-updates — opt-in update prompts via GitHub releases (no need to come back to Nexus unless you reinstall fresh)[/]

  []No telemetry — local-only, no analytics, no phone-home[/]

  Screenshots

  The full Character tab. Talent radial, derived stats, action bar, and main inventory all on one page:

  The talent tree is a faithful port of the in-game radial. The game's own parchment backdrop, slot frames, and 51 individual talent icons sourced straight from the game files. Hovering shows current rank vs next rank effect side-by-side:

  The Ship tab. Photoreal layered hull + sail + flag preview using the game's own textures. Swap hulls, edit cannons + crew, manage cargo, repair, set flagship:

  Each customization slot opens its own picker, organised by faction pack so you can mix-and-match looks across every style book you've unlocked:
