EndlessLeveling 9.8.0

Highlights

⚔️ Skill Attribute Rework — STR / SORC / DEF now use FLAT scaling

Skill allocations for:

• Strength
• Sorcery
• Defense

have been converted from % scaling → flat scaling.

This massively improves early-game stat investment while reducing extreme late-game multiplicative snowballing.

New Scaling

📈 Real Balance Impact

Early Game Buffs

At around Level 30:

• Old STR scaling: +30
• New STR scaling: +60

➡️ ~2× stronger early-game allocations

Skill points now feel impactful immediately instead of scaling poorly until late progression.

Late Game Nerfs

At around Level 150:

• Old scaling: +600
• New scaling: +360

➡️ Large reduction to infinite multiplicative scaling abuse.

This prevents:

• Fate stacking abuse
• Augment multiplier runaway
• Crit/stat exponential scaling

while preserving meaningful progression.

🎯 Marksman & Assassin Rebalance

Crit-focused classes now have real defensive tradeoffs instead of being universally optimal.

New System: race_mult_percent

Marksman and Assassin now scale part of their crit stats directly from their race basestats.

Marksman

• +40% race-scaled Precision
• +25% race-scaled Ferocity
• DEF ×0.75 - 10
• -20% Life Force

Assassin

• +25% race-scaled Ferocity
• +11 flat Haste
• +50 flat Pierce
• DEF ×0.75 - 10

Result

Crit classes now:

✅ Scale harder offensively
✅ Retain unique identity
✅ Have meaningful survivability costs

No more "tank assassin bruiser" stat abuse under Fate scaling.

🟢 Common Augment Overhaul

Common augments have been completely redesigned.

Previously, Common rolls became nearly useless after early progression.

Example old rolls:

• +5~20 Life Force
• +1~4 Strength

These values became irrelevant at higher levels.

New Scaling Model

Common augments now scale using % basestat values.

📊 Scaling Comparison

Around Level 20

Old and new Common augments are roughly equal.

Around Level 150

A max-roll Common now provides approximately:

• +40 LF
• +4 STR
• +4 SORC

➡️ Around 8× stronger late-game relevance compared to old scaling.

Commons are no longer dead drops after midgame.

✨ New Augments

🛡️ Bulwark Edge (ELITE)

Defense-scaling on-hit strike

Every 1.5s, your next hit deals:

• +15
• +40% of total Defense

extra damage.

Cannot crit.

Perfect for tank/bruiser builds.

🏰 Titan's Bastion (ELITE)

Converts Defense into adaptive damage.

Effects

• +50 STR or SORC per 100 DEF
• +100 flat DEF

Adaptive stat chosen automatically based on highest offensive stat.

Hard Cap

• Maximum conversion: +300 adaptive damage

💥 Fracture (LEGENDARY)

Armor shred augment inspired by stacking defense-break systems.

Effects

Each hit applies:

• 3% defense shred
• Max 10 stacks
• 30% total defense reduction

Stacks are shared globally across attackers.

Also grants:

• +100 flat Life Force

☄️ Arcane Comet Rework

Arcane Comet now uses the new MAGIC_ON_HIT system.

New Effects

• 8s cooldown
• +50 flat
• +50% Sorcery
• 3-block AoE explosion

Cannot crit.

Designed as the magic equivalent to melee proc augments.

🧩 Passive System Refactor

41 passive definitions were migrated from hardcoded Java into external JSON descriptors.

Benefits

• Easier content expansion
• Unified templating pipeline
• Cleaner localization workflow
• Faster future passive development
• Shared augment/passive rendering system

🌍 Massive Localization Expansion

EndlessLeveling now ships expanded support for:

• English (en-US)
• French (fr-FR)
• Spanish (es-ES)
• German (de-DE)
• Portuguese (pt-BR)
• Russian (ru-RU)

Localization Stats

endlessleveling.lang

• 2615 lines → ~3690 lines

➡️ Over +1000 new localization keys

Includes:

• Augments
• Passives
• Class descriptions
• Race descriptions
• UI pages
• Dungeon text
• Raid text
• Settings pages
• Debug pages

and much more.

⚙️ NEW: Persistent Server Overrides

Server owners now have a dedicated:

server-overrides.json

system.

Why this matters

Previously:

• Updating the plugin could overwrite tuned configs

Now:

✅ Server-side overrides persist safely across updates.

New Config Workflow

Bundled files now act as templates:

• config.json
• leveling.json
• events.json
• weapons.json
• dungeons.json

while your custom tuning lives safely in:

server-overrides.json

🖥️ NEW: In-Game Config Editor

The EL Settings UI is now fully functional.

Includes 5 Editable Tabs

• server-overrides.json
• config.json
• leveling.json
• events.json
• weapons.json

Features

✅ Live editing
✅ Save + reload in-game
✅ Toggle widgets
✅ Enum selectors
✅ Numeric steppers
✅ No manual JSON editing required

Admin-only.

No more disk-side config editing and restart loops.
