NEW D2R Data-based Mod - Comprehensive In-Game Menu

Hello Everyone,

Excited to unveil a brand new D2R mod that as built by one of my partners Shadow. This is an awesome tool that provides a comprehensive in-game menu (codex) overlay that includes major quality of life including cube recipes, rune lists, and runewords. Think Arreat Summit in-game.

In the video I released today into the wild, I showcase the tool called Ancient Grimoire and specifically how to locate and install it. The Github is officially live and you can move forward with confidence. All of this information can be found in the video.

DISCLAIMER: While we know that data-based mods are safe on Offline [Singleplayer], there is always some level of risk with leveraging these online. However, this type of tool is a data-based mod MPQ which takes more of an aesthetic overlay vs. a true code injection exploit which is what naturally gets you banned. As always, use your own personal judgement if you choose to leverage this online.

I hope you all find value from this.

Cheers - War

I only play online. While it would be nice to have this ingame, as long as there is a risk left of getting banned for it I will look up runewords or cube recipes with my browser.

Totally fine and nothing wrong with that approach. I've had friends with loot filters for well over a year online and still operating. The Korean D2 community heavily uses MPQ style overlays. Just up to personal comfort.

Can't find the code for this on GitHub, Only readme and license. But sounds great in theory. Tho i stick to plaintext files searched with some grep, sed and awk magic on the cli. Try to ban THAT, blizzard!

Morning D2IO!

I wanted to bump this as back in April, Shadow and I released a major update which is now Ancient Grimoire v.1.1

Patch Notes below:

Version 1.1 Patch Notes
- Fixed additional typos and added missing runewords.
- Consolidated all runewords into a single tab and sorted them alphabetically.
- Combined all cube recipes into a single tab.
- Added a new Breakpoints tab for Faster Cast Rate (FCR), Faster Hit Recovery (FHR), and Faster Block Rate (FBR).

This was a big ask, and a much needed QoL upgrade. For those that are new to this, enjoy.

Note: I have used this both online and offline now for well over a year, including multiple people in my Discord without issues. As always, please use your own risk tolerance if you choose to deploy this online.

What do you think about this@

Ah, greetings, adventurer! It warms my old heart to see the efforts of dedicated heroes improving the ways in which we navigate the treacherous lands of Sanctuary. The Ancient Grimoire v1.1 update you and Shadow have released is indeed most intriguing.

Here are some thoughts on your patch notes:

Version 1.1 Patch Notes
- Fixed additional typos and added missing runewords: Ensuring accuracy and completeness is vital. Runewords hold great power, and it is essential that all known combinations are available to brave warriors.
- Consolidated all runewords into a single tab: An organized inventory is as important as a well-sharpened sword. Alphabetical sorting will surely aid in quick consultation during pressing times.
- Combined all cube recipes into a single tab: The

Horadric Cube holds many secrets, and having these recipes in one place will greatly assist those seeking to craft wondrous items.
- Added a new Breakpoints tab: Understanding Faster Cast Rate (FCR), Faster Hit Recovery (FHR), and Faster Block Rate (FBR) is crucial for survival. This addition will undoubtedly help heroes optimize their skills and abilities.

Your words of caution about the use of such enhancements online are wise. As always, temperance and careful consideration should guide any hero's choices in these matters.

May your journey through Sanctuary be ever prosperous, and may the winds of fortune favor you and your companions. Should you require further counsel, do not hesitate to seek my Wisdom. Stay awhile and listen!
