## 📘 MOD INFORMATION 📘
---
**Welcome to Ascendant Armory, my greatest work yet, and a mod I am most proud of, here is a brief explanation of the mod and its features.**

- Ascendant Armory features 1 weapon of each weapon type currently existing within Valheim, Sword, Spear, Axe, Club, Knife, Polearm, Fist, Staff, Bow, and Crossbow.
- Each of these weapons are crafted out of a unique item that has a 20% drop chance from the first boss, Eikthyr, fully configurable of course.
- These weapons will upgrade throughout each biome, utilizing materials and boss trophies from each biome to advance, getting stronger alongside the player.
- Upon defeating Yagluth, he will drop a special material used to craft a weapon counterpart, these will give special set bonuses and adrenaline effects to pair with their respective weapons, greatly boosting their capabilities.
- After reaching the Ashlands, _(and Deep north eventually)_ using materials from these biomes, you will be able to forge your weapon anew, into its true form.
- The final form of these weapons are made to be the pinnacle of Valheim weaponry, they are made to be very strong, but not so strong that it trivializes the game, everything is balanced after all.
- In total, with their counterparts, you will receive an equip effect, set bonus, adrenaline effect, parry effect, and damaging status effect when the weapons unlock their full potential, excluding the bow and crossbow, which have their own gimmicks.

**So please, enjoy the mod and have fun!**

_Funny enough, my main inspiration for this mod was actually from an old Baldur's Gate 3 mod called progressive weapons._

- **IMPORTANT: IF YOU WISH TO RECEIVE NEW STAT CHANGES AND FIXES, OR IF SOMETHING HAS AN INCORRECT CRAFTING STATION, DELETE THE OLD CONFIG, IT WILL FIX MOST SIMPLE ISSUES I HAVE ALREADY FIXED**

## 😛 Usage Notice
---
As always, you are not permitted to use anything in this mod as monetary rewards on servers, whether for donations or outright bought without my explicit permission.

The vast majority of the weapon models used for the ascended weapon versions in this mod are my own custom creations and texture work, so I ask that you respect my hard work.

When it comes to using anything in this mod as a unique server item, or special reward, or anything of that nature, **it is completely ok**, as long as real life money is not involved.

**You do not have permission to monetize the weapons in this mod in any way shape or form, nor the items used to craft them**

## 📘 Future Update Plans and/or Potential Ideas. 📘
---
**I want to improve this mod as much as I possibly can, so many things may be subject to change over time**

- More arrows and bolts that do unique things in order to give Nyphrion and Ravalon more options for ammunition that do unique things.
- Attempt to create locations for the unique crafting items so that getting them adds more immersion and uniqueness, especially in multiplayer. Will only do this if I can make it togglable on or off.
- Definitely want to try and make a custom crafting altar, prolly won't be anything tooooo crazy (I lie).
