🎯 Module Introduction

This mod was originally made for my personal use to avoid repeated "grinding" resources in subsequent game processes. It modifies the game's base files to provide you with a powerful, fully functional start.

**IMPORTANT NOTE**: This mod is **not recommended** for your **first playthrough**. Please use it for subsequent playthroughs with your new character to skip all the tedious grinding process.

🧰 Core functions

**Unlocking and Starting**

• **Antiquities Information**: Unlocks the combination information of all supplies and antiquities (also valid for ongoing campaigns).
• **All-Professional Heroes**: You will have one level 0 hero from each profession at the start (you can dismiss them if you don’t like them).
• **Full DLC version**: Contains all DLC and original heroes, located in the `ALLdlc` folder.
• **No DLC version**: Contains only the base game heroes, located in the `NOdlc` folder.
• **Modified tutorial**: The tutorial will include a key (the full DLC version also has a blood bottle and antidote).

**Resources and Convenience**

• **100 initial heirlooms**: Start with 100 heirlooms (10 in the original version), providing greater flexibility in the order of upgrades.

• 6 fields are easy to manage, **more than 6 is not recommended**.
• 4 slots are ideal for visual and manual operation of the in-game UI, and you can modify them as you like.

💎 Usage suggestions

• **Ideal configuration**: It is recommended to use **4 accessory slots** to achieve the best balance between visual effects and in-game UI operations.
• **Enable on demand**: All adjustment functions are modular, you can disable unwanted functions by ignoring the corresponding folders or files, leaving only the convenience modifications you need.
• **Enjoy the game**: The ultimate goal of this mod is to let you focus more on strategy, plot and character development instead of resource management. Enjoy your dark dungeon adventure!
