The goal is to make single player more convenient without making it too easy. There are no changes to drop rates or monster levels. Saves are fully compatible with vanilla. I made it mostly for personal use to make the single player grind more enjoyable. I'll keep making changes as my D2R modding skills develop and new tools become available. Fully compatible with GoMule.
New updates:
Bovine Conspiracy
As the hero defeats Baal for the first time, the Hell Bovines grow in numbers. Several Bovine Warlords took up residence in the lower levels of Halls of the Dead. Halls of the Dead levels 2 and 3 are now several times bigger and filled with Hell Bovines. Area levels are now equal to the Secret Cow Level for the current difficulty. Very convenient grinding spot with a waypoint. This only applies to Nightmare and Hell. In Normal, the dungeon remains exactly like vanilla.
Loot filter
The way how several types of item names are displayed was changed. Shortened potion names in corresponding colors, "Hidden" mostly useless items like Arrows, Bolts, Thrown Potions, etc. Flawless and perfect gems have gold names. Some white bases, like the Monarch or Thresher are highlighted. Scrolls are green.
Currently in progress:
Tweaking Act V mercenaries for better survivability
Trying to make it possible to visit the Cow Level before killing Baal.
Increased the mob density and removed the waypoint in Nihlathak's realm. The red portal should never disappear, making it a great grinding/farming spot.
