You should know that this mod is not specifically made for a vanilla game of Witcher 3 but has a set of companion mods in mind that being said it *should* work on a vanilla game but the expected loot outcomes may differ from what is intended (by me).
TLDR;
This mod makes edits to the definition files concerning the loot inventories of containers, animals, monsters and shopkeepers.
Also edited for balancing reasons are 2 definition files for alchemy recipes and edible entries.
Changes to container & treasure loot:
- removes duplicate entries of items within the same spawn definition for all containers and treasures
- removes runes and glyphs from generic sapwn tables
- removes mid-high value items that were probably intended as "filler loot" from medium to high tier loot definitions
- removes food items from almost all loot definitons that are not exclusively labelled in a food connected manner in the files
- removes duplicate entries of unique items that can be found as quest rewards from open world loot containers
- removes or greatly decreases random coin rewards
- removes Mutagen Decoction recipes from open world treasures
- removes player level restriction on resource materials such as ores/ingots, etc.
- decreases the maximum amount of items dropped from one lootlist where applicable bringing down top tier definitions to 1
- replaces almost all instances of "Dwarven Spirit", "Alcohest" and all weapon & armor repairkits with their base ingredients
- re-enables a previously unused spawn table for bolts by giving it appropraite entries
- adds spawn definitions for legendary bolts to 1 top tier loot list
- adds spawn definition for a chance to drop 1 vitriol, rebis etc. to 1 top tier loot list
- adds rune and glyph schematics to treasure list
