Legend Craft – Melee Weapons

CURRENT VERSION: 1.5.2 (8/30/22)

Combine duplicates into overpowered weapons with a hammer and some nails (with a minimum level in weapon proficiency for that class of weapon).

There are five tiers of improvements that can be made and the fifth tier makes the weapon indestructible (unless the Make Legend Weapons Destructible option has been selected from the sandbox options menu). Each level can increase damage, reach, max condition, durability, crit chance, knockback – and for applicable weapons – tree damage, door damage, and knockdown. There are also reductions in weight.

Part 1 of my Legend Craft series of mods – you can check out Guns & Grenades here if you like.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since there are multiple versions of the electric bass, electric guitar, shovel, and sledgehammer items, there are recipes to freely convert incompatible versions of those weapons into the type that can be used for a II tier item. All following upgrades will accept any version of those items. These are called Standardize recipes in the mod.

V1.3 NOTE: Upon crafting the legend tier version, electric guitars and bass can be freely changed between black, blue, and red varieties while shovels and sledgehammers can be changed between their two appearance varieties. This could only be added for the highest tier as the swaps would result in unlimited free repairs for lower tier items.

V1.3.1 NOTE: A bug was found involving the legend tier items, which are intended to be indestrucible, taking damage when used for certain tool functions. An inventory menu option to Heal Legend Item has been added in the event that a legend item is not at max condition – this works even if the item is broken. This option is not available if Make Legend Weapons Destructible has been selected.

V1.4 NOTE: The damage increase that is applied to upgrade levels can now be customized in the Custom Sandbox options screen upon starting a new game (default options are loaded if update is applied or mod is loaded mid-game). The first four tiers are determined by a % number and the legend tier is determined by a multiplier – these figures apply to min damage values while the vanilla item’s damage range is preserved. The default values are 50% and 10x and can be adjusted 5%-100% and 2x-20x – it is recommended to keep a 5:1 ratio of these two values for intended balancing except for % values of less than 10% to which the minimum 2x would be optimal. There is also the ability to enable durability for legend tier weapons, which are indestructible by default, with the Make Legend Weapons Destructible check box. The condition lower chance values of these legend items are scaled with their lower tier counterparts.

Spears are upgraded by combining a crafted spear and compatible blade of equal levels (Crafted Spear III + Fork III = Spear with Fork III). To upgrade, the leveled blade must be reclaimed from the spear, combined with a matching blade for the upgrade, and then re-combined with a new crafted spear of equal level.

LEVEL NEEDED TO UPGRADE:
II – Lv. 1 (0 for short blade)
III – Lv. 2 (1 for short blade)
IV – Lv. 4 (2 for short blade)
V – Lv. 6 (3 for short blade)
