📋 About This Mod

Next-Gen 4. 04 Compatible

In original game you can only get silver swords, steel swords and chest armors enchanted and they must have three enchantment sockets.

With this mod, you can get any gear enchanted only if it has any sockets, and the enchantment level is based on the number of sockets.

I think it's more balanced and reasonable while offering more possibilities.

1 socket                                                2 sockets                                                 3 sockets

silver swords                                                                                                                                                    level 3 enchantment

steel swords                     level 1 enchantment                            level 2 enchantment                            or level 2 enchantment

armors                                                                                            or level 1 enchantment                         or level 1 enchantment

(maximum of 3)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

pants                                 level 1 enchantment                            level 2 enchantment                                                 /

(maximum of 2)                                                                             or level 1 enchantment

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

gloves

boots                                 level 1 enchantment                                             /                                                                  /

(maximum of 1)

Also modified the in-game prompt and warning text to match what this mod changes.

UPDATE 1. 1

now the maximum number of the sockets is automatically obtained with the function GetSlotItemsLimit.

UPDATE 1. 2 (NEW!)

Ghost Mode support is coming! Now the enchanted pants, gloves and boots can function properly
