When I was starting my 5468453132th playthrough of GreedFall and I found myself at the point where I had to choose between doing the level grind thing *again* or fiddling with Cheat Engine *again* or reducing point cost to 0 and breaking character creation *again* or blah blah blah *again* it occurred to me that I could actually do something about it instead of whining. So I did.

Now whenever you leave the palace to meet Kurt and the Mother's Present quest item is placed in your inventory you will also receive a set of similarly named necklaces that does the following:

• Gives a bonus point to one of the six talents (Science, Lockpicking, Intuition, Charisma, Vigor, and Craftsmanship).
• Provides 25% each of magic, poison, and elemental resistances.
• Adds 25 mana and 25 health per second regeneration.
• Doubles experience gain (this is a latent effect and so is not listed on the items in game, but trust me, it's there!).
  

Additionally, an optional file is included in the files tab that will (albeit un-immersively) add the necklaces to the blacksmith in New Serene so that in-progress games aren't left out of the fun.

Important note on usage: A talent cannot be boosted by your gear by more than one point, so you won't be able to stack multiple pieces that improve the same talent, e.g. you can't wear both 'Mother's Gift - Intuition' and the 'Discoverer's Hat' and get +2 Intuition; instead you'll get +0 to Intuition. It's how stat bonuses are designed to work, and why I broke out the original all-in-one necklace into individual talent necklaces. If you figure out a way around it feel free to enlighten me.

If/when you remove a necklace the affected talent will drop back to however many points you have allocated to it from leveling and the other bonuses will go away. Re-equipping adds the talent and stat bonuses back. So play dress up without fear, as no permanent changes are made to your De Sardet!

Also the sale value is set to 1 so whenever you inevitably accidentally sell them (I'm not the only that does that right?....right?) it won't bankrupt you to buy them back.

HUGE SHOUTOUT and THANK YOU to Dheuster for taking the time to figure out how to pull apart asset packages and, more crucially, taking the time to document and share the information.

Feeling generous? Buy me a coffee!
