Removed forge stones required to upgrade weapons

No smithing stone required (1.16)

✨ **Currently supported game version 1.16** ✨

Source of inspiration

This mod was inspired by other mods that removed the need for a forge stone, but I couldn't find a newer version, so I made my own!

IMPORTANT NOTICE

  • To fully upgrade a weapon, you still need to visit a specific blacksmith in the game
  • Cannot upgrade weapons to +25 at the forge

⚠️ Usage warning

  • Online games using this module will be banned. Please use it with anti-cheating disabling tools.
  • Will conflict with any module that modifies the regulation.bin file

🛠️ Installation Guide

  • Back up the original regulation.bin file in the game folder
  • Extract the modified regulation.bin from the compressed package
  • Place it into the Elden RING game folder (for example: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Game)
  • Make sure to replace the original file
  • Start enjoying the game!

🎮 **Experience a smoother weapon upgrade system and focus on exploration and combat! **

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.
