📋 About This Mod

update2016-02-22: upload the file made by MrFisse, the commnet says it is compatible with 1. 12, and I used it myself in 1. 12, no problem, and it is a 5/10/15 version.

basicly the same function as Enhanced Runes by thril1

but since the mod tool is released, so I hope use nmm to manage mods, so I create this nmm version by the wcc_lite(official mod tool).

only tested in 1. 08. 2, it do apply to existing runes and glyphs, and support ng+

Vanilla Version- Rune Variations Lesser Runes = 2% | Normal Runes = 3% | Rare Runes = 5% strength Lesser Glyphs = 2% | Normal Glyphs = 3% | Greater Glyphs = 5% strength

Enhanced Version - Glyph Variations Lesser Runes = 5% | Normal Runes = 10% | Rare Runes = 25% strength Lesser Glyphs = 5% | Normal Glyphs = 10% | Greater Glyphs = 25% strength but only Rune veles greater is 20% strength for Rune svarog is 20, 40, 80

how to install download it with nmm and activate it or download it and extract it to gamefolder\Mods\

How did I do it 1. install mod tools 2. in cmd:

cd E:\Program Files (x86)\Witcher 3 Mod Tools\bin\x64 wcc_lite uncook -indir="H:\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\content\patch0\bundles" -outdir="H:\tmp\modCheat\c"

//edit the H:\tmp\modCheat\c\gameplay\items\def_item_upgrades.xml //and edit H:\tmp\modCheat\c\gameplay\items_plus\def_item_upgrades.xml //and delete the unused files

wcc_lite pack -dir="H:\tmp\modCheat\c" -outdir="H:\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\Mods\modRuneEnhanced\content" wcc_lite metadatastore -path="H:\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\Mods\modRuneEnhanced\content"
