This mod is designed to complete the game at the highest difficulty level. The mod does not affect the game experience of battles with monsters, it only adds the opportunity to become stronger for money. Every merchant in the world offers the player to learn new talent mastery, undergo special training, or create powerful artifacts. Each trader has their own requirements for the level of the player and pricing policy.

Features of Artworld (v2.0)

Talents manipulation:
— Player can learn new talent masteries. 200 masteries from the original game are available. Talents from FC, EoR, AoUR add-ons are not supported.
— Player can increase the efficiency modifier of any mastery. The upper limit is 5.0.
— Player can forget all the talents of a certain mastery and restore all skill points spent. Some kind of respec.
— Player can sell the mastery he doesn't need. It will disappear from the list of available on the leveling screen, its level will be reset to 1.0. It's an easy way to get money without having to fight monsters directly. I strongly recommend it to your best try.

Special training:
— Player can upgrade their resources: Life/Stamina/Mana/Psi/Soul/Vim/Hate/Light/Dark. Training can be both limited in the number of times and endless.
— Player can convert one type of resource to another. For example, mana into life or souls into non-life (negative health). These workouts can be completed a limited number of times, and in general, you should not rely on them.
— Player can upgrade his primary stats: Strength/Dexterity/Constitution/Magic/Willpower/Cunning. All such trainings are limited: 3-5 times and you need to look for a new master.
— Player can gain new knowledge: additional talent points, categories or prodigies. A fully developed character is beautiful!

Artifactors:
— There are masters in the world who can modify items. They can work with 30 types of items, almost everything in the game. Every 2 levels, at least one level becomes available to the player.
— Player can insert an unlimited number of gem into any item. Each next gem increases the price of the work. The total price depends on the tier of the original item.
— Player can extract any (well, almost) magical property from an item by creating a shard of power. The shard can then be inserted into another item like a normal gem. By combining magical properties in this way, you can create very powerful artifacts. This is the best mod mechanic, but it requires a huge amount of gold.

Travel in world:
— Player can gain access to locations not provided for by the quest/class. In version 2, Point Zero(city of temporal warden) and island of Yrkkk became available. See the full travel map in the mod archive.
— Player receives a special item "Trade Notes" on the first conversation with any merchant. Notes automatically record all prices seen by the player. You no longer need to remember everything yourself, just read the notes.
— Player can enchant a transmutation chest for money before reaching the fortress of Sher-Tul. More money is always good.
— Player can find out the cost statistics when working with gem and shards.

Other:
— Supports russian language if ru-mod is installed (https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/ru_RU ). The basic language of the mod is runglish (very bad english).

Changes in Artworld I (v2.1)

— A lot of minor changes: added lost properties for shards, fixed the price formula for primary stats, fix negative greed of some merchants, fixed a bug with the scrollbar in notes, added lost ru-locale strings, and something else..
— Added support for the "Adventuring Party" mod (https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/adventure_party ). Now all party members (including the alchemist's golem) work correctly with merchants, and can become as strong as the player's main character.
— List of all talents that can be found at merchants has been added to the mod archive.

Features of Infinite world (v3.0)
This release contains all Artworld features, several new features and a balance change.

New features:
— Player can increase maximum level of a single talent! Some merchants sell "Tomes of Power", which can be read to raise level of talent stated in the book. Player must have trade mastery above 20 to be allowed into the bookstore. About 10% of books are created based on player's current talents, i.e. books may contain talents from other official addons and custom mods. Bookstores update several books once a game week approximately.
— Player can enchant an item with talent of their choice. Arterfactors give following recipe: item + "Tome of Power" with wonted talent = an item with property "Granted talent +1 lvl" and property "+1 talent cooldown". This recipe can be repeated several times to gain additional talent levels. Player, wearing such an item, learns the talent instantly and can use it as his own. A single item cannot grant more than 3 different talents.
— Player can rename items. You can use colors (named or in hexcodes) in names. Rename dialog correctly supports unicode strings (tested only in russian lang, but should work with other languages with multibyte characters).
— Player can break level cap in the "Maj'Eyal: The Age of Ascendancy" campaign. Levels will continue to increase after level 50, but they will not be awarded stat/talent points. This option is made specifically to replace the minor mod "Ascendancy Level Cap Remover" (https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/ascendancy_lvl_cap_remover ) and other like this.
— Added support for the "Endless Dungeon" game mode. Every 5-8 floors player will find portals to spectral versions of random Maj'Eyal town. Merchants in these towns work in same way as in main campaign. In towns Elvala and Gates of Morning there is access to item vault.

Changes:
— Resource conversion training is now running indefinitely, but a price progression has been added. Now you can completely drain the unnecessary resources in health.
— Shards and gemstones have their own price when imbue. The price is based on actual properties, which allowed the balance of shards and gems to be evened out.
— Imbue shards/gems adds primary stat requirements to the item. There is a progression: +2 rnd. primary stats for first 10 gems, +3 rnd. primary stats for next 10 gems, etc. (but not more than +5 to the stat). After 40-50 gems built into item, it is very difficult to use it due to the inflated requirements. But on every 100th gem all the requirements are discarded and begin to accumulate again.
— Imbue shards/gems removes level requirements of the item. This is easy way to use an item taken from item vault early.
— World map has been updated (see in mod-arhive). Added info about bookstores and the relative probabilities of various workouts.

Compatibility notes:
— Mod redefines all dialogues of merchants in all towns of the world. Other mods that do the same thing can be broken, but losing a few dialogues doesn't break this mod.
— Mod adds objects to global map at fixed coordinates without checking correctness of tile.
— Mod changes names of items. Scripts that try to find an item by name can break.
— Mod overrides the level progression function (no_points_on_levelup) when it removes level limit. Other mods that provide their own "no_points_on_levelup" feature may fly off.
— Weight of mod is 100.
That's all for the list of possible compatibility issues!

What's next? Nothing. This is the last release of the mod. I've done everything I wanted and now I'm going into sunset. Bye-bye :)

Hollowed

The hollowed is a cursed class that focus on a new damage type, Nightmare, that deals darkness and mind damage.

It has skills that allow you to parry with a 2h sword, receive incoming damage as mind damage, and proc attacks when you teleport.

In the first phase of playtesting, Let me know if you encounter any bugs or iffy design decisions. Many thanks!

Wanderer now choose one in three random talent trees instead.

Many in Maj'Eyal have heard of "demons", sadistic creatures who appear seemingly from nowhere, leaving a trail of suffering and destruction whereever they go. Their Fearscape floats far above the skies, watching and waiting, but not idly; their agents scout the land, their legions build up their forces, and their scholars develop new spells and strategies. As the barrier between our worlds begins to crack under their scrutiny, helpless Eyalites have begun to disappear, whisked up to serve as their slaves and playthings. They imbue these victims with magical powers to better survive the ensuing stresses - can you use your new-found abilities to escape the legions of Mal'Rok?

Features:

• Start with a new class, the Doombringer! These avatars of demonic destruction charge into battle with massive two-handed weapons, cutting swaths of firey devastation through hordes of opponents. Armed with flame magic and demonic strength, they delight in fighting against overwhelming odds, softening up the crowd with waves of fire, then feeding on the flames and suffering of their surroundings to stay alive while quickly reducing any group to a pile of ash and gore.
• Unlock a new class, the Demonologist, with an all-new item enhancement mechanic! Bearing a shield and the magic of the Spellblaze itself, these melee-fighting casters can grow demonic seeds from their fallen enemies. Imbue these seeds onto your items to gain a wide array of new talents and passive benefits, and summon the demons within them to fight on your side! Ever looked at a gigantic demon-cursed minotaur and wished it was on your side for once? Well, now you CAN summon one to pound your foes into paste while you cast devastating spells from afar, or call forth a squad of Fire Imps to pelt your enemies to death while they exhaust themselves on your impenetrable defenses! Demons have persistent health, making them a little more precious than disposable necromancer skeletons or summoner beasts, but can be revived from death nonetheless.
• Two new zones, with all-new art, foes, and bosses! You've seen the plains of the Fearscape before, now see the lairs and headquarters of the demons themselves!
• Over 10,000 words of written lore to find! The demons were once an enlightened, peaceful race, hailing from a distant planet known as Mal'Rok; learn what drove them to plot Eyal's eternal torture! Discover monuments to each of the demonic species and noteworthy individuals, showing the place of honor each has among them! Get a glimpse into the culture and daily lives of these sadistic invaders and their brainwashed thralls!
• Unlock a new race, Doomelves: Shalore who've taken to the demonic alterations especially well, corrupting their typical abilities into a darker form. Blink away to safety, transform into a shadowy dúathedlen to hide in the shadows or prey on your foes with blasts of darkness, use your new resilience to soak up status effects and critical hits, and assault your enemies' minds to leave them unsteady in combat!
• Between the aforementioned classes and Doomelves, a whopping 75 new talents!
• Unlock two new cosmetic options! You know you've always wanted demon-horns.
• Two new events, appearing anywhere in Eyal!
• 20 new artifacts, with unique and interesting effects. Collect the Obsidian Treasures to amass more and more power! Slip your hands into the Will of Ul'Gruth and watch your sweeping blows smash down walls! Wear a giant hideous hell-mouth as a fashionable belt!
• 7 new achievements! Conquer the worst Urh'Rok's forces can throw at you, and hang their metaphorical skulls from your profile page!

Various enhancements to escort quest NPCs:
- Escorts now follow the player when not close to the portal.
- Escorts occasionally say useful things.
- Escorts heal 5% of their maximum health per turn.

This addon makes items description easier to read and determine on a glance it's usefulness
- sorts all stats by category - DPS/DEF/MISC
- item's passive power always the same blue color (not a random blue-yellow-pink-green)
- item's usable power - always yellow
- all rarity categories are displayed
- encumbrance value moved to the right under item name
- "on hit" powers always green
- "Stats" have an ornage highlight and placed before others because it's most important one
- Removed many extra-explain details, which any veteran player would not want to read each time
for example, stat "S.pwr/crit" shorten from "Spellpower on spell critical (stacks up to 3 times)"
means you do remember that it can stack only 3 times, and is not so super important anyway
- DLC supported - Orcs/Ashes
- few bug-fixes along the way

Most important thing to remember
- Requirements only shown for those you don't meet. If you want to see all reqs - hold CTRL
- "Phasing" stat means - "Damage Shield penetration", the name was taken from the source and looks good to me, and short enough
- The "-" minus sign at the end of stat mean immunity or reduction of some sort, for example "Blind-" = "Blindness immunity",
- "Max.summ" = Max wilder summons
- "Summ.HP.reg" = Life regen bonus (wilder-summons)
- "Def/telep" = Defense after a teleport
- "Res/telep" = Resist all after a teleport
- "Dur/telep" = New effects duration reduction after a teleport

it's not recommended to use this mod if you'r new to the game

One year has passed since the one the Orcs call the "Scourge from the West" came and single-handedly crushed the Orc Prides of Grushnak, Vor, Gorbat, and Rak'Shor.  The Allied Kingdoms, now linked by farportal to their distant, long-lost Sunwall allies, have helped them conquer most of Var'Eyal.  The few remnants of the ravaged Prides are caged...  but one Pride remains.  Kruk Pride, isolated on an island, is the last orcish settlement that stands; they, too, face their impending doom.  The Sunwall has blockaded the only exit point from the island, and now, the technologically advanced civilization of Steam Giants have come down from the mountains to take their homeland with machines and weaponry unlike anything else on Eyal.  Kruk Pride has reverse-engineered their technology before; their only hope is to do it again and rise up against the Pride's foes.
 

Features:

• Explore a whole new campaign from level 1 to 50, one year after the events of the original Tales of Maj'Eyal campaign. Liberate the Orcs (or die trying) by rising up against the Sunwall, the Steam Giants of Atmos, and other dangers that may lie in wait...
• Play as one of three new races: the battle-hardened Orcs, the brutal Yetis, and the unstoppable Whitehooves. Discover their stories, their pains, their hopes... and their awesome racial powers!
• Risk your life in over 20 unique zones! Explore the ruins of a lost city, lay siege to the Sunwall forces at the Gates of Morning, and raid the Steam Giants' mining quarry - each has its own unique foes and hazards, leading each to feel and play different from the others.
• Play as one of the four new tinker classes: Gunslingers, Sawbutchers, Psyshots and Annihilators! Plus a class evolution: Technomancers! Crush and rend your foes with heavy metal, electrocute and immolate them with your gadgets, charge across the battlefield or nimbly strafe in style - each plays differently, and none provide any shortage of ways to slay your foes.
• Master steam technology to build powerful tinkers to augment your equipment. Need to close in a bit quicker? Turn your boots into rocket boots! Having a hard time deciding whether to shoot someone or stab them? Build a Hand Cannon into your gloves, or deploy a Weapon Automaton to do the stabbing for you! If you have a problem, steamtech has a solution, usually involving explosions; with over 80 different powerful contraptions to craft, enjoy unparalleled versatility and trying something different with every playthrough.
• Master the tactical uses of over 140 talents! Fire bouncing trick-shots and psychic-infused shots, use your steamsaws as shields or wheels, terrify your foes with long mechanical arms - there are no "boring" talents here, everything has its own special applications and properties!
• Use advanced technology in the world of Eyal! Burrow through sand, plant bombs to destroy tunnels, and discover that you aren't alone in using it...
• Infusions and runes are for puny humans; implant new medical injectors to pump an array of experimental chemicals into your body! Injectors can use any (infinitely reusable) salve in your inventory as long as they're off their cooldown, giving you versatility you've wished you could get with a couple of inscriptions.
• Loot over 70 new and powerful artifacts. Pump lead into foes with big guns, quick guns, and explosive guns! Shred them with saws that maim, saws that thirst for blood, and saws that aren't really saws! Violate common sense by strapping a rocket to your back and calling it a jetpack!
• Enjoy dying in horrible and exotic ways at the hands (or claws, jaws, guns...) of over 140 new creatures! Not mere piles of stats and chain-stuns, these foes will provide unique challenges - suffer the Sunwall's newest cosmic spells, the new breeds of ritches that infest and multiply, the Steam Giants' elaborate defense systems, and find new strategies to adapt to each!
• Earn a trunkload of achievements! Have your accomplishments recognized for liberating the Orcish people, displaying exceptional mercy or cruelty, or showing your prowess with impressive feats! Give a boss a fate worse than death, show Sunwall forces how frustrating it is to fight a Radiant Horror as a paladin, come out on top against impossible odds, display a suicidal lack of situational awareness, and wear a badge of pride or shame for each!
• Read roughly 27,000 words of new lore to immerse yourself in the world! Learn how things have changed since the Scourge's campaign, feel hatred and/or pity for your foes, uncover grand schemes and sinister plots, and notice the elaborate connections between Var'Eyal's numerous factions. Every zone has a story behind it, and every story ties into a bigger picture; enjoy a tale of horror and humor, of intrigue and glory, of despair and hope.
• Earn the right to use the classic (and Ashes of Urh'Rok) classes in Embers of Rage, and the new tinker classes in Maj'Eyal! Play a Brawler in the East to fulfill your life-long dream of suplexing an entire nation of giants, or play a Sawbutcher in Maj'Eyal to shred through Dreadfell in a whirlwind of sawblades and steam!

Not all adventurers seek fortune, not all that defend the world have good deeds in mind.
Lately the number of sightings of horrors have grown tremendously. People wander off the beaten paths only to be found years later, horribly mutated and partly insane, if they are found at all. It is becoming evident something is stirring deep below Maj'Eyal.
That something is you.

Forbidden Cults is a big expansion for Tales of Maj'Eyal to let you explore the horrors that lurk beneath the surface, to delve in long lost knowledge and lore and as usual to die a lot!

Forbidden Cults makes two new classes available to play:

• Writhing One: Give in to the corrupting forces and turn yourself gradually into an horror, summon horrors to do your bidding, shed your skin and melt your face to assault your foes. With your arm already turned into a tentacle, what creature can stop you?
• Cultist of Entropy: Using its insanity and control of entropic forces to unravel the normal laws of physic this caster class can turn healing into attacks and call upon the forces of the void to reduce its foes to dust.

Both those classes use a new resource called Insanity that gradually makes you both more chaotic and powerful as it fills up.

Forbidden Cults makes two new races available to play:

• Drem: A corrupt subrace of dwarves, that somehow managed to keep a shred of sanity to not fully devolve into mindless horrors. They can enter a frenzy and even learn to summon horrors.
• Krog: Ogres transformed by the very thing that should kill them. Their powerful attacks can stun their foes and they are so strong they can dual wield any one handed weapons.

Forbidden Cults adds many new zones for you to explore and die in:

• Kroshkkur: An ancient Sher'tul Fortress laying half in ruins that serves as a focal point, and home, for all kinds of creatures seeking lost knowledge.
• The Maggot: A huge living corrupted worm about to destroy Kroshkkur! Teleport inside and save your sanctuary of horrors!
• The Godfeaster: Deep undergroud the ground shakes as ... -- redacted by corrupt forces --
• The Scourge Pits: On the south of the Iron Throne lays a fool pit of ... -- redacted by corrupt forces --
• Forbidden Tomes: Find special artifact books of ancient lore. But, read at your own peril, for the story they tell may very well suck you in... quite literally.
  Maybe you will even find The One That Writes...
• Occult Egress: A strange, extremely old, contraption of unknown origin. It seems to require some kind of code sequence to activate. Maybe you will find some during your adventures?
• The Entropic Void: So you think you are strong? Powerful? Invulnerable? In the end, entropy always wins, as you will learn...

What would an expansion about horrors be without a bunch of new horrors to torment you with? Please give a warm welcome to:

• Searing Horrors: You liked luminous horrors? You loved radiant horrors? You will absolutely adore their searing big brothers!
• Nethergates: It sleeps. Maybe it should stay that way.
• Netherworms: Vampiric worm masses that are bound to tickle your fancy! And tickle hard.
• Fearful Symmetry: Geometry has never been so lively!
• Entropic Shards: Take an entropic crystal, shatter it with tentacles. And die.
• : And more ...

"DarkGod, is that all?" Obviously not! You will also find your usual addition of:

• Lore: Delve into the dark forgotten secrets of the world, where sanity is a very tenuous idea.
• Artifacts: Discover new objects of power and use them to further your own goals.
• New wyrmic tree: Unlock the scourge drake for your wyrmics.
• Glass Golem: Unlock the glass golem option for your alchemists.
• Events: Discover new strange contraptions in familiar zones. What could go wrong?
• Achievements: Because there can never be enough!
