However, where do Mods come from? Why, from people who take up this special level-up system, of course. God, that sounded so cheesy. First, before we get into the specifics of the Mod system, we must first go into teh specifics of Mods. Firstly, switching Mods is done quickly. This can be done either attacking or when standing by. Putting a mod into a weapon takes 1 turn, 2 if your busy (attacking, using an ability, etc.). Taking one out is 1 turn as well. Definately a viable obtion when changing tactics. There are 5 levels of Mods, each more powerful than the last. The first level Mods are the weakest and most basic abilities and are easily obtained. Abilities include circumstance-defense ups or weak poison attacks. As Mods reach higher levels, they can give more powerful add-ons, including double-shot, auto plasma shields, and even new attacks. Of course, because attacks are stronger, Mods imbued with weapons or attacks increase gauge spendage, unless they state otherwise. Here's a chart detailing how much usage is increased Level 1 > +1 on Spend, +0 on Level, +1 on Cooldown Level 2 > +2 on Spend, +1 on Level, +2 on Cooldown Level 3 > +3 on Spend, +1 on Level, +2 on Cooldown Level 4 > +4 on Spend, +2 on Level, +3 on Cooldown, +1 Additional turn to equip Level 5 > +5 on Spend, +2 on Level, +4 on Cooldown +1 Additional turn to equip How does one increase the level of Mods? Well, you can't. Mod levels are static: They don't change, ever. So how do you get more powerful Mods? You purchase them or find them. Or craft them. Now we enter the Mod system. This system allows you to craft your own Mods to things you want to have. You can then sell these Mods for parts or weapons. Because of the fact that system is technology based, mutants cannot access this system. Sorry, guys. The key to crafting Mods is "Scrap". Scrap is an item that is found all around the world, and any character may find them. However, only Mod system users can actually use scrap to their benefit. With this scrap and the knowledge of how to craft certain level Mods, you can create your own Mod with abilities you want. A Mod can only have one ability at a time, and this cannot change. The following is the amount of Scrap needed to create each level Mod. 10 Scrap >>> Level 1 30 Scrap >>> Level 2 60 Scrap >>> Level 3 100 Scrap >>> Level 4 150 Scrap >>> Level 5 However, simply having the scrap is not enough. You must obtain the knowledge of how to craft each level Mod. You start off knowing how to create the most basic Mods. To get the knowledge, you must break down technological components and study them. Mod-crafters (the general term for people who use this system) often buy weapons only to break them apart and study how they work. You can get MP, or Mod Points, from finding debris in the Wilds, breaking down body armor, or studying technology in any other way you can. Note that some technology cannot be broken down, such as computers or security bots. For some forms of technology, you must be a high-level Mod-crafter in order to study components. Getting enough MP will make you a higher level Mod crafter. Becoming higher level will also increase the amount of scrap you get from debris. Here's a level chart of MP: 0 MP = Level 1 Mod-crafter 200 MP = Level 2 Mod-crafter 600 MP = Level 3 Mod-crafter 1200 MP = Level 4 Mod-crafter 2000 MP = Level 5 Mod-crafter 3000 MP = Level 6 Mod-crafter (see below for details) When somene reaches a Level 5 Mod-crafter, they also gain the ability splice together different level 1-4 Mods, creating SuperMods, only usable by Mod-crafters. These SuperMods contain the abilities of all the Mods sacrificed to create it. Creating one costs an additional 40 Scrap, and the sum of the levels involved does not exceed 5 (Example, a level 4 and a level 1 can be spliced, but not a level 4 and level 2). Gauge usage also carries over, stacking on top of each other. When you reach level 6, you become an elite Mod-crafter and you gain the ability to create level 6 Mods, which are all SuperMods with the same rules as before, only the sum cannot be above 7 That's the gist of the Mod System. Attached is a list of all Mods that you can select from when crafting.
