About this mod

A variant of "Smash N Grab Just Loot" mod by Moordhuis. Its purpose is to maintin the feel of vanilla game while removing excessive grind. More loot, XP, money, mobs to kill and devotion points.

NEW! A new "frugal" version of the mod with completely reworked loot drop rates. New drop rates are approx. 2x the rate of the standard game.

Permissions and credits
NOTE: Version 1.1 correctly updates hp values for cunning and spirit attribute values (as in vanilla). It also adds corrupted shrines from Forgotten Gods to the list of shrines that grant 2 devotion points. I will gradually update the optional files to version 1.1. After upgrading to 1.1 the changes to hp will be retroactive so there is no permanent harm from using 1.0.

This purpose of this mod is preserve the general feel of the vanilla game while making it more fun by removing excessive grind. Here is the list of changes:
1) More loot. The same as in  Smash N Grab Just_Loot mod.
2) Level up is 50% faster than in vanilla game. However mobs don't level up with you so eventually you will slow down if you overlevel the current area.
3) Mob spawns are on the average 50% bigger than in vanilla. No changes to champion spawns, but you gain more loot anyway so it is not necessary.
4) 50% more iron bits from random standard sources than in the vanilla game. More money without completely breaking the economy like Smash N Grab did (it was approx. 15x more!).
6) Corrupted shrines now give 2 devotion points. It serves to compensate the fact that you cannot farm devotion points in Crucible while playing modded games. The max is still 55 like in vanilla and you can only reach it in Elite. So it is still balanced but you get your constellations somewhat faster.

Everything else is exactly the same as vanilla. In my experience these changes are exactly what is needed to speed up the game without changing its character.

The "frugal" version has completely new loottables and gives 'only' double drop rate of epics and legendaries for those who like to take it slowly (but not as slowly as in vanilla game). The drop rate is much, much smaller than in the original Smash'N'Grab mod (like 10 times less). Also you can now expect to see  epics drop sometimes from rotten stumps (for fun). Level up rate +50%, money +50%, mob spawns +35% and higher drop rates of rare crafting materials and blueprints.

Have fun.
