I hear explorer mode is harder than normal? is this true?

Not in my experience no, enemies hit less hard and the player characters have more health on explorer mode.

I'm sure you've probably got this by now but to recap and put into simple points

1) spell caster have 2 forms of spells - cantrips and spells

2) a cantrip can be used endlessly (same as firing a bow or making a melee attack), the cantrips vary between damage, control, support and other effects in and outside of battle

3) a spell uses a spell slot, if you have 4 level 1 spell slots and use a level 1 spell you now have 3/4 remaining

4) you earn a different number of spell slots for each level and as you level up you gain more of the higher level

onto some more advanced stuff

5) a spell can be cast at it's level OR higher (usually has greater effect but not all do). this means if you want to use a level 1 spell but have 0/4 slots left you can cast it as a level 2 spell instead.

6) Linking to number 5 - you CANNOT cast a spell at lower it's level.

OK so for the OG question, to replenish your spell slots you need to take a long rest - think of it as taking your pokemon to a PC and replenishing move PP


Warlocks are slightly different to other spell casters but follow very similar rules

There are spells. Spells have levels. This level is shown as a symbol like II III V VI etc.
Then you have spell slots. spell slots have levels.

In order to cast a spell, you must have a spell slot that is of the same level or higher in order to cast the spell. For example, you cannot cast a 6th level spell with a level 1 spell slot, because that spell slot is not strong enough for the powerful magic within a 6th level spell. But a 1st level spell can be cast with a 6th level spell slot, because a 6th level spell slot has plenty of magical power to let you cast that first level spell, and doing so, will upgrade the damage of your first level spell to a 6th level degree.

you will get your spellslots back on a long rest which requires camp supplies which are basically just food you find in the world or other items you come across, you can buy them from vendors too. There are other ways to get back your spell slots but those are individual abilities like Warlock Wizard and Sorcerer features.

Use mods from Nexus Mods to make it easier to cast spells without worrying about long rest and short rest.

i found a very rare amulet (pink colored) called spellcrux amulet that my using on my sorcerer and gives spell slot restoration. But i barely found it and dont know how to use it as of yet. I believe i got it from a chest some but forgot the exact location.

Warlocks get their spell slots back after every short rest, all other casters get them back after a long rest. There is a mod that gives you unlimited spell slots if you don't care to play spell casters in that way, but there is a reason spells are some of the most powerful in the game. Imagine being able to chain sleep enemies because you never run out of slots. May as well use a trainer for unlimited hit points since you'll just always be able to cast a healing spell, so why not remove damage to your characters altogether?

i always like to play games my way. so the mod doesnt bother me, just like the story and running around getting into things.

I guess turning your caster into a god wouldn't affect story since you're still at the mercy of your rolls outside of combat. You just trivialize even the hardest battle because you can just spam your strongest spell. If you also get a mod to always win rolls, then you'd be screwing up your story. There's a LOT of story locked behind failed rolls. Save scumming and roll fixers miss so much because of that.
