Description
Smithing Stones - Weapon Refining
This mod adds a full weapon refinement system to Hytale, inspired on the smithing stones system from Elden Ring. Craft smithing stones at the Blacksmith's Anvil, upgrade weapons, with a configurable success-based upgrade system that increases risk with each refinement level.
Since version 0.4.0, DynamicTooltipsLib is used as an optional dependency to change the item's name, tooltip and quality. It is highly recommended installing it for the best experience.
Weapons can be upgraded through multiple refinement levels, each applying a configurable damage multiplier. Every tier also features its own distinct glow effect.
The mod includes a configurable success dropoff system, allowing you to control how punishing upgrades become over time. For example, with a 5% dropoff setting:
- Refining to +2 has a 95% success chance
- Refining to +3 has a 90% success chance
- Refining to +4 has an 85% success chance
- and so on.
This creates a risk–reward progression system that can be tuned to fit your server or singleplayer experience.
Since version 0.2.0, the smithing stones can also be made compatible with any custom mod weapon!
Stone Tiers
- Lesser Smithing Stone: Refine weapons up to +3
- Greater Smithing Stone: Refine weapons from +3 to +5
- Master Smithing Stone: Refine weapons from +5 to +8
