It's nothing too crazy just mainly new items, few new skills, awakening skill for each class at level 100, higher level cap (120), new endgame content etc. So I mostly like to think of it as another expansion as I already said tho I did do a little bit more than initially intended but anyways here is a list of all the changes (I kinda put a lot of anime references into the mod but dw if you don't want to have anything to do with anime you won't even notice):
If you are a lazy reader just watch my hype/trailer video

Skill changes:
Every class has a new awakening skill that becomes available at level 100 and their max level is always 10.
These skills are NOT increasable by items or charms, so only hard points matter.

If you collect 3 Magical God Daggers you can craft them again into a Crafted God Dagger which allows you to visit an even harder dungeon.
In that second dungeon monsters can drop the 'Key To Nazarick' which will allow you to enter a new dungeon (not added yet).

Any unique, rare, set, magic or crafted item without sockets + PSaphire + Ber rune = 1-6 sockets (notice that items still have the same amount of max sockets so you cant get like a tiara with 6 sockets with this recipe)

Unique Item + 3 PSkull + Sur rune = reroll stats on the unique item
This mod is still a work in progress so I will add some stuff over time like more runewords and stronger dungeons but for now I feel like it is pretty good already!
I am also using Base Mod so all these features are included in my mod aswell. https://d2mods.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=65492
Also the mod was intended to be played with plugy but if you don't like plugy for some reason you can also use Base Mods features to enable single player runewords and uber trist!

Installation:
Download the rar of the mod here:
Version 1.0: https://www.file-upload.net/download-13 ... d.rar.html
Version 1.1: https://www.file-upload.net/download-13 ... 1.rar.html
Version 1.2:https://www.file-upload.net/download-13 ... 2.rar.html
Version1.3: https://www.moddb.com/mods/diablo-2-lod ... update-mod
I will probably just upload on moddb from here on ^^
Then simply put it into your D2SE mod folder, copy the Basemod.dll and Basemod.ini into your Diablo 2 and copy and paste the 1.13c loader into your D2 folder aswell!
The mod is also all txt files so feel free to spice things up to your liking!
Also if you have any questions hit me up here on discord Zekken#0820
EDIT:
I forgot to remove the explosion on death mod from champion monsters, it feels very bad to play against since the monsters are already stronger and it just feels terrible to lose 600+ out of 800 hp after killing a monster.
Anyways the download link is updated now with the correct files^^
EDIT2:
Just fixed a bug where the new hell mercenaries are bugging out in nm difficulty + added 3 new crafting recipes: Caster belt, Warrior Armor and Ranger helm!
Also brought back the ltng merc in hell act 3 with a level 6 conviction aura and a better skill set!
EDIT3:
Version 1.2 is out now!
The 2 biggest changes of this patch are:
1. Corrupting!
You can now find scrolls of corruption that you can use to corrupt your gear!
There is a 1/3 chance that your item will turn into a random rare and a 2/3 chance that it will gain additional stats!
2. Treasure Goblins!
Treasures Goblins will now randomly spawn and drop a ton of loot if you manage to kill them!
Check out the full patch notes, all cube recipes, all runewords and credits in the download!
