Balanced Increased Buff Durations

🎮 **Balance Buff Duration Extended** - Spend less time re-casting buffs during combat!

✨ Module Features

This mod extends the duration of nearly all buffs in the base game and the Shadow of the Golden Tree DLC, so you don't have to recast buffs as frequently during combat (especially those with short durations) and reduces the time it takes to collect consumables.

💡 **IMPORTANT NOTE**:

  • The buff effect will not become infinite
  • Won't make all effects last more than 10 minutes
  • Does not change the strength or effect of any buffs

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
