I have a question. I was lucky enough that I got a staff that I really like (I'm using sorceress, FYI) and I think the staff has been hacked since it has all these nice affixes, like DMG + 30%, MP + 150 and so on. I'm just wondering since what I am trying to do is remove from this staff the fact that I can't repair it since it was a gift from a npc (online player I met and got the bones) when I buried the bones. The staff basically has everything I want (4500 durability, 255 - 255 dmg as well). Yes...I'm basically trying to take a short cut since I got the staff now LOL. If anybody could please let me know if this is possible. Otherwise I will have to start learning how to create my own.

Yes you can edit it. But the same way you edit it is almost exactly the same as creating your own. in the save patcher you can download here in post one you simply edit the 8th line which would say "can not repair" to whatever you like. to do this you change xxxx to lets say 02B2. doing this you will replace the can not repair with "enhance cross bow power." So yeah basically dude you gotta learn how to create your own staff before taking shortcuts rofl. on top of that you have to go back and edit line 1-7 where it says xxxx and leave it blank to look like this.

1000A648 0000
1000A64C 000043FF
1000A650 0000
1000A654 000043FF
1000A658 0000
1000A65C 000043FF
1000A660 00000
1000A664 000043FF
1000A668 00000
1000A66C 000043FF
1000A670 00000
1000A674 000043FF
1000A678 00000
1000A67C 000043FF
1000A680 000002B2
1000A684 000043FF
notice a pattern here? and just so you know you can replace 02B2 with whatever you wish the goal is to simply edit that last line to get rid of "can not repair" assuming your weapon has 8 slots.

*note with game's latest patch you now can't have more than 2 purple affixes! SAD! but there are plenty white/yellow affixes to make for it! Happy editing! I think it would be safe to assume you can't have more than 2 green affixes as well. I can confirm you can not have more than one beast \master affix (which makes beastmaster kind of useless at this point.) I'm sure if you hex edit it manually you can get around this though!.

Oh well guess I will start learning then LOL. My laziness came out thinking I can shortcut this LOL. Ok, so from what I understand this patch editor only works on Dragon's Crown save files 1.02 or below right? So if my save file is in the current version (1.06) I then simply can't edit it? Sorry for the questions, very new to this.

Ask away, its not like its a ton of people on here asking questions. And to answer your question, Yes and no You can use that save patcher, but it hasn't been updated in quite a while, so there is room for improvement. I suggest using Frezzno's Save patcher he posted in this thread. Its VERY easy to use and has simple instructions in the first post. It allows you to edit ALL 8 slots on your weapons and items Those other save patchers here on this site are good but Frezzno's just makes your life easier and has MORE. but yea I was really lazy when it came to this stuff at first too so I understand no biggy. Just have at it. trial and error, practice safe modding by backing up your save etc. I had to back mines up like before i did every single thing till i got the hang of it.

Thanks a lot for the guide Frezzno, it's outstanding. Another equipment affix I really like:

02 86 - Add ice to sliding attack

In my experience, it freezes enemies at a pretty decent rate. Not only that, but you can use it to put out burning areas on the ground. Of course, it helps if you put a few skill levels into slide attack, because that affects the distance when you slide.

Can you elaborate on this? Do you mean that any equipment you find through normal means can only have a max of two purples, or do you mean that even if you edit it yourself, you can't get more than two? Like for example, the equipment that Frezzno posted pics of in the other thread:

Please allow me to correct myself. I was not able to edit more than 2 purple affixes personally. I have NOT tested enough to see why I could not get more than 2 purple affixes by editing myself. For an example I have not tried using STR & CON

Okay, I see then. Are you sure the item you're trying to edit has 8 "open" slots on it? Because I was having trouble with that too - I had a piece of equipment with only 5 skill slots on it, and some of the mods were not showing up. I ended up using this code:

[Data 1 - Character 1 Equipment 1 Skill Slot Max *Normal Weapon]
0000A68B 000000C6

And everything showed up fine after that.

Some more really good skills I looked up the hex numbers for:

01 44 - When HP is max, damage taken -50% (yellow) <-- probably one of the best defensive skills in the game, because by "max" it doesn't mean 999, it just means above your normal max HP. Like if my character's max HP is 500, if I boost that with food to a max of 750, as long as my HP is above 500, I'll take half damage for everything.

02 F7 - Dealt damage +X% during critical hit (green)
03 1A - Evasion invincibility time +X% (green) <-- anyone try this on every class? I'd be interested to know how well it worked for you.

Finally, I did some messing around in the LoC with the "bonus" elemental skills. It was:

20% of dealt damage added as Lightning and Fire damage (02 96)
________________________ Ice and Lightning damage (03 7D)
________________________ Fire and Ice damage (03 7C)

vs.

Bonus 40% as Lightning damage (00 35)
___________ Ice damage (00 34)
___________ Fire damage (00 33)

The first group out-damaged the second by a fair amount, but the second group hit enemies with status affects a decent amount of times (stun for Lit, freeze for ice, burn for fire). If anyone else would mind trying this as well, that would be cool. Or better yet, try both sets at the same time and see if you hit for amazing amounts of damage.

edit: I'm possible it had 8 open slots. what happens is, whenever i true to put more than 2 purple afffixes it simply removes any purple affix slot it wants as long as it gets down to 2 purple affixes.
01 44 - When HP is max, damage taken -50% (yellow)
this sounds interesting, i wonder what would happen if you stack it lol.. probably will have to overheal with food to truly abuse this. I imagine sorceress would be the perfect character to test this with.

02 F7 - Dealt damage +X% during critical hit (green)
most helpful for my Elf, as elf already has high critical (Luc) by default I usually add a couple 00DC to it to get the full benefit. I've found for elf you really won't need more than 2 00DC items. with that about 80% of my hits are critical at level 120+ for other characters you may want to try adding more 00DC to get the full benefit

03 1A - Evasion invincibility time +X% (green) <-- anyone try this on every class? I'd be interested to know how well it worked for you.
Its helpful if you don't like defensive affixes and are really good and not too lazy to dodge. As more invinsibility frames means less chance to take damage, and your invisibility time does chain together like lets say you spam your dodge button with sorceress and you're out of mp, you can be invincibile as long as you want (forever) until you start attacking AND stop dodging. for me I much rather be able to tank the hits like a fighter haha.
but the invisibility time is pathetic its like maybe a 1.5 seconds tops invisibility if you have it on every item. Its not as good as an amazon parry which is what I would hope for.

As far as the bonus as % damage.
I usually use both i conjunction with each other. As uncool as it sounds.. for the melee characters and elf, The bonus as % damages although they only give you 40% damage boost, they are a lot more important than most of your weapon skills that gives you 50% extra damage like lets say power of spells or brandish. Due to the fact that
1. its 40% damage on top of what you already have for EVERYTHING, all skills and some enemies are weak to such elements meaning because you decided to go excorsist with fire/ice instead of power of temptest. you are doing ~ 200% more damage to the Gazer instead of a pitiful 50% extra damage to the gazer.
Then you have the annoying enemies like red dragon and medusa that don't let you fully utilize such skills
I'd use a lightning rod/thunderous weapon, and then go exorcist on a few items. Then have bonus as fire, and bonus as ice. the lightning damage is usually high by default so no need to waste a slot on bonus as lightning damage.
If you use a spellcaster then its kind of up in the air on how you wanna do the % damages or if you want to focus on regualr magic attack buffs or power of spells, spellcasting time & power etc.

Hmm, that's strange then. I'm not sure why it would be doing that with the purples.

Anyway, I tried stacking the Persevering Chaos Amulet affix (when HP is max, damage taken -50%)...and it does indeed stack. Additively too, I believe. I just put three of them on my equipment (on three separate pieces of course) and fought Ultimate Story mode Red Dragon with a fighter. It was about the equivalent of fighting it on Hard mode without those affixes if I had to make an estimate. This pretty much breaks the game, lol (although, I have read about enemies past floor 800 of the Tower of Mirages being insanely difficult, so maybe not). The rabbit's instant death attack will still kill you though (tried it in late LoC floors).

Alternatively, you can use the affix "Enemy item drop rate +X%" and enemies will drop food when you kill them. Couple that with a few levels of the Nutritionist skill, and you'll have more food than you know what to do with.

I decided to take your advice for the elemental damage affixes, and it's been really good.

Yes it works really well, its pretty much like having a free protection spell LoL. i see what you were saying by coupling that with enemy item drop rate. Also with this there is no need for rockskin, protection, create food, immortal defense potions, physical resistance, nullify damage taken, damage taken affix:00DB thiis can really free up some slots for you if you're a solo player, or play with other cheaters.

Good, glad it works well for you. I'm up to floor 60 something of the ToM now, and finally trying other classes besides fighter, lol.

Can't seem to edit the affixes correctly. I'm really not sure what's wrong.
When I apply the patch, everything seems fine. Load up the game, and the only thing that changes is the affix property amounts to maximum values - but the affixes themselves stay the same.
Durability/Attack works fine, character xp, gold, whatever else - it all works.

I've tried creating brand new save files (from lv 1) and I get the same results.

Here's a sword:

[Data 1 - Character 3 Bag 1 Equipment 1 Magic effects edit(all 8)]
1000E9E8 0000037D
1000E9EC 000043FF
1000E9F0 00000225
1000E9F4 000043FF
1000E9F8 00000027
1000E9FC 000043FF
1000EA00 00000033
1000EA04 000043FF
1000EA08 000000DB
1000EA0C 000043FF
1000EA10 000000DA
1000EA14 000043FF
1000EA18 000000DC
1000EA1C 000043FF
1000EA20 00000003
1000EA24 000043FF

This one is for Character 3, but I've tried with Character 1 using the proper Character 1 section. Had to delete a character to free up the slot for editing though, but same results happen.

Here's the base codes I've got and the mods for them. You can find all of these on a sword normally, so it's nothing too outrageous. I've even tried to just add in 1 affix, and it turns out the same.

03 7D - XX% of dealt damage added as Ice and Lightning damage
02 25 - While extending, all equipent durability recovers +XX%
00 27 - Ignore armor XX% chance
00 33 - Bonus XX% as fire DMG
00 DB - Damage taken -XX%
00 DA - Damage dealt +XX%
00 DC - Critical rate +XX%
00 03 - Petrify enemy XX% chance

Well, I'm not sure what it is then since the code looks fine. Have you tried manually hex editing like Frezzno explains in post #4? Other than that, you would have to upload a copy of your save so I (or others) could take a look at it.

I think I'm just going to make a new save and see what I can do.
Just need to play a few ToM levels so I can grab a full set of 8 slot gear.
