Mod request by Aziraphale • Built by OdinPlus Special thanks for testing: Aziraphale, Pingletown, Thunderstorm

IMPORTANT: It may be required to delete your old configuration file to use the new Percentage System.

New Percentage Based Upgrade system applies a better balance for Blacksmithing, this is set true in the Configuration File now by default. To use the OLD System, and preserve worlds already who want to keep the old system, set Percentage Settings to false.
