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 both, and a rune clicked onto an item changes its rarity or inscriptions.

Features

• Three rarities: Normal, Magic (1-2 inscriptions) and Rare (3-6).
• 162 inscriptions for every kind of gear, stronger the later the item's biome.
• Six runes, clicked onto an item: Awakening (Normal to Magic), Shaping (one more on Magic), Ascension (Magic to Rare), Consecrated (one more on Rare), Cleansing (back to Normal) and the Serpent (seals the item after a gamble).
• Drops from kills, bosses and world chests.
• Elite Creatures Reborn: Synergy (off by default) lets elite stars raise drops.
• Epic Loot: when installed, the runes work on Epic Loot's own magic items (not Cleansing) and only Epic Loot drops magic gear.
• Every rune, inscription, command and file: CLAUDE.md.

Install

Needed on the server and every client, same version. Install with r2modman or the Thunderstore app, or put EliteCrafting.dll in BepInEx/plugins. Uninstalling deletes every rune; 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.
