What does the Equipment Upgrader do? Upon pressing the "Upgrade" button on the inventory screen, the Upgrader checks if there is any better alternative item for any equipped weapon, horse, or armor slot for each hero character, and equips the best one it finds. Howdoes it decide which items are better? Every equipment item has a hidden "Effectiveness" score, that is used for simulated battles. The available item with the highest Effectiveness for a given equipped item of a certain class, i.e. bow, one-handed, gloves, etc. gets selected. Installation Simply unpack the archive to your Modules directory and activate the module in your launcher.
Configuration The configuration file of the mod can be found at "[Modules]/EquipmentUpgrader/config.xml". The options include switches (true/false) for
upgrading the main character
upgrading companions
upgrading civilian loadouts
upgrading from inventory, loot, stash, and/or discarded items
