EliteCrafting

Work in progress: significant changes will come, including to the config, the YAML files and item data.

Runes and magic gear: creatures and chests drop runes; a rune clicked onto an item changes its rarity,

inscriptions or sockets.

Features

• Rarities: Normal, Magic and Rare, named and coloured (below).
• Inscriptions: 209 magic properties; each kind of item rolls its own (below).
• Tiers: later biomes roll stronger inscriptions; T1 is the strongest.
• Runes: six, clicked onto an item from your inventory or an open chest (below).
• Rune Table: stores runes and turns trophies into essence, which chooses what Ascension adds.
• Sockets: up to three, cut by the Consecrated Rune or the Dvergr Chisel, filled with rare gems (below).
• Drops: creatures, bosses and chests drop runes, more with stars; magic gear never drops.
• Salvage: with OpenKeep, salvaged Magic or Rare gear may give a rune back.
• Magic items on the ground glow under a beam of light.
• Elite Creatures Reborn: Synergy lets elite stars raise drops.
• An API for other mods: PackPanel and Elite Creatures Pack join in.
• Every rune, inscription, command and file:

CLAUDE.md.

Rarities

• Normal: a plain item, no inscriptions.
• Magic (green): two inscriptions, one prefix and one suffix.
• Rare (blue): three inscriptions, at most two prefixes and two suffixes.

Runes

• Awakening: makes a Normal item Magic with two inscriptions.
• Recasting: replaces both inscriptions on a Magic item with two new ones.
• Ascension: makes a Magic item Rare, keeping both and adding a third.
• Consecrated: one to three sockets on a weapon, staff, armour piece or shield that has none.
• Cleansing: strips a Magic or Rare item back to Normal.
• Serpent: a gamble (nothing, one more inscription, or a wild reroll), then sealed for good.

Gems

A gem's stat depends on the item (weapon, staff, or armour and shield); a full item's gem can be replaced.

• Surtr's, Ymir's, Thor's, Nidhogg's, Hel's: an element's damage, staff bonus or resistance.
• Tyr's: physical damage, summon damage, less stagger.
• Freyja's, Odin's, Skadi's: health, eitr or stamina.
• Heimdall's: critical hits, cast speed, avoiding hits.
• Sleipnir's: movement speed, armour and shields only.

Inscriptions

A prefix is the item's core power; a suffix is everything else.

• Weapon damage (18): more damage, critical hits, slayers.
• Elemental brands (6): flat fire, frost, lightning, poison or spirit damage.
• On hit (10): chain lightning, paralysis, stagger, hamstring.
• Attack speed and cost (10): faster, cheaper swings.

• Blocking and parry (14): stronger blocks and parries, avoiding hits, thorns.
• Health, stamina and eitr (14): more of each, faster regeneration.
• Armour and resistances (25): armour, less damage by type, less stagger.
• Movement (23): run, sprint and swim faster, double jump, glide, sail.
• Weather, food and meads (16): never Cold or Wet, longer food, a light.
• Fortune and insight (15): carry more; more runes, coins and trophies.
• Gathering and building (15): extra ore, wood and harvest; free builds.
• Skill masteries (18): extra skill levels.
• Item properties (4): durability, weight.

Install

Needed on the server and every client, same version. Install with r2modman or the app, or put

EliteCrafting.dll in BepInEx/plugins. Uninstalling deletes runes and gems; magic gear turns plain until reinstalled.

Mods that make weapons or armor stackable can merge magic items and lose inscriptions.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/com.EliteCrafting.cfg and the EliteCrafting_*.yml files. Every setting is described in the file

and applies without a restart; the server's values bind every player (Lock Configuration). Console: ecraft help.
