Unless the game updated sometime in the last month then it should be fine so just make sure your following the install guide and are on the latest game version (Version 1.3.2).
On a side note I've tested and confirmed the mod still works as of November 2024 so unless an unlisted update occurred between now and then it should still work (don't you just love when games do unlisted updates).
Hey can you make a version of this where it is on an easier mission then baha cuz its almost impossible to get a group of people who want to do proto online due to low player count
This actually already exists in the form of installing my mod along with Easy Terminus Weapons by PattyHoswell although it has been mentioned that this breaks things but I haven't been able to confirm this and if I'm being honest is likely user error related. Anyways that mod plus mine should allow you to get terminus weapons from the "Bash the Goblin Horde" quest.
Regarding why I don't make my own version of that mod? Well basically there is nothing I could do any different from that mod and would rather not duplicate things unnecessarily also I'd hate to steal another mods thunder if I can help it.
Basically War Element+ shares a drop slot with 24 other effects so I made to different tweaks to the drop rate with "better" splitting the drop rate even between all 24 items well eliminating the ~25% empty chance where as with "biased" I also eliminated the ~25% empty but just gave it all to War Element+ thus making it far more common.
Yeah I kinda suspected something like that as I myself have been unsuccessful in reproducing it. It's for this reason that I choose to word it in a informed user choice kinda way but just to be safe I added further clarification that I was unable to reproduce the issue and that it might have been user error or misunderstanding. That said I'd rather let the user decide for them selves if the experience of another user is substantial enough to warrant not using that mod. After all the last thing I'd want to do is take away the users inherent right to evaluate reported issues and determine if its important to them. Besides there could in fact be an issue albeit an incredibly specific one that only manifests in certain niche scenarios. For example Old saves, use of specific game versions prior or after installation of mods, and obviously hardware interactions all of which might only affect an incredibly marginal percentage of a games user base (sometimes as low as 1-5%) so due to that I always air on side of caution.
Sure, I'll just need the quest name and desired drop percentage (Equal split, prefered, etc).
Also due to the nature of table (tbl) file mods it would function as an either/or mod aka either use it or the War Element+ mod. The reason for this is due to the way Reloaded II works and per their general belief that table (tbl) file mods should be used in a as needed and offline only sorta way.
i second what HCL said, either that quest or an alternate one from behemoth would be great. supp+ and war elemental are the two most obnoxious ones to farm
Yeah I've been planning on it but life's just been a bit busy recently. Kinda a side effect of being the care taker of my elderly grandparents (you'd be surprised how many doctor appointments old people need!). Anyways hopefully I'll be able to get something out in the next week or two and sorry about not responding sooner just didn't think about it until know.
I can't help unless you specify whether or not you followed the install instructions.
As stated in the description make sure Reloaded-II is installed: How to Install? Please follow this guide.
If you have followed the instructions at that link then please make sure Reloaded-II is functioning properly. Also make sure this mod is installed and working:
after +20 tries I finally defeated Proto Bahamut with just AI companions, so this is a must-have for me thank you very much ^^ I confirm it also works in version 1.0.4
Yeah I kinda figured it would work on old versions but I didn't want to be held liable for any "weirdness" as technically using on an old version would result in the inadvertent addition of the chest drop tables and thus non-existent sigils and item ids for any quests in 1.3.1 that are missing in the old version but seeing as the actual quests that would use these drop tables are missing and it works for you. I'm now fairly sure the game just ignores invalid ids, items, etc as long as they are unused so that's definitely something I didn't expect as most games crash the moment they discover invalid ids regardless of whether or not they even matter (I'm looking at you Skyrim).
Here's to hoping that this means my mod won't break the moment a tiny patch comes out!
Possibly? I mean if it's tied to a chest appearance percentage then sure but if it's dependent on a separate sub lot / award pool then it might be a little to complicated for me but I'll take a look and let you know if I find anything promising.
Edit:
So yes I can increase it's drop rate but it's part of a reward pool of 24 items currently at 0.73% chance. so basically I'm wondering what a reasonable percentage would be? For now anyways I added a file under Miscellaneous that increases the drop rate of War Element+ to 12.73% by taking 12% away from the nothing chance (It's now 48% nothing vs 60% nothing) but feel free to say if that's not good enough. Also it doesn't include my Terminus weapon mod as it's a separate table file but can be used at the same time as my Terminus weapons mod as it won't conflict either.
Thank you a lot @dragonoverlord! Personally I think it would be more fair if War Elemental+ was similar to Terminus weapons in its drop rate, to make it more of an end game grind like Proto Bahamut used to be. I think that would be way more fun than doing Behemoth with essentially no hope of ever seeing it. So something like 20% (or higher if you want) would be a lot more fun to play with in my personal opinion.
How about ~27% with an extra 1-2% added to the other drops that share its lot? as the best way to make it spawn is to simply decrease the empty chance to be 0.01% and distribute excess percentages across other drops to insure that War Element+ doesn't completely over power them.
Basically its sharing a drop spot with 24 other items so I either break it even and make it a 1 out of 24 chance or bias towards it with the other drops semi minimized (1%-2% drop chance).
let me know which you prefer and I'll upload it under the Miscellaneous category.
Ah, I was unaware that it was sharing a drop spot. That changes things, good call on your part.
I would prefer a bias towards WE+
Also, just an idea but you might want to upload it as a separate mod so people searching War Elemental on Nexus will be able to find it! Since it's not necessarily an addition to the Faster Terminus Weapons mod.
Okay pending Nexus approval it'll appear as gbfr.cheats.biasedwarelementplusdrop under the Miscellaneous category of this mod page (normally it's approved within the hour).

What is the difference between "better" and "biased" war element+ files?
TLDR:
Better = balanced & fair
Biased = quick & cheaty
you are the best <3
(You may want to update your mod description to avoid false information being spread)
HOW are they the same? Easy. Uncap the max level of the Terminus weapon dropped on that mod to 150 and you get the same stats.
Don't know why dumb people complain first before doing some research, as told from the former mod's comments page.
Congrats on your mod! Been using this so far and it doesn't fail me yet.
I really like your + war elemental drop chance mod!
btw can we have the similar one but with supplementary V+?

In a similar vein: Could you increase the drop rate of War Elemental+ from Behemoth (Lock Horns)?
