What it does

Progress is driven by quests: each completed quest grants experience, and a Dark Orb consumed at the right point grants dark abilities. The mod is a dark power progression system rather than a set of single items, so the path a player takes through it shapes which powers arrive first.

Key features

  1. Dark power progression

    Abilities are gated behind a progression path that advances as quests are finished.

  2. Dark Orb consumption

    Consuming a Dark Orb at the right stage of progress grants dark abilities to the player.

  3. Quest experience

    Completed quests award experience that feeds into the progression path.
