Respec?

[Skadi]

Hi! i started without mods since i figured vanilla is best for first time through.

But im seeing that i cant respec more than the last 3 skills? is there anyway around this? or should i just restart a character with mods? (since it doesnt seem like i can paly my normal character when i boot the game in mods)

reason why is because im playing engineer and i would like to mix up between going 2 handed or weapon and shield. but i see from skill tree i should be focusing on of them.

Torchlight_2_PC_version doesn't provide total Respecs in the vanilla game.
Only the most recent 3 points can be Returned from a Vendor.

You can move / copy your character saves over to the modded side yet mod saves cannot be read by the vanilla side (once affected by mods).

Documents > My Games > Runic Games > Torchlight 2 > Save and Mod_Save Folders.

Locate your character name file (.svb) then clone it over to the Mod_Save Folder.

Another option is to use the console (commands) without mods:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=126856835&searchtext=console

Can also type respecpotion to spawn a potion that does a total respec.
This method of commands will mark the character with a cheater flag.

does the save file mode mark me as a cheater also?

i got the runic potion mod from the workshop

and does any of this disable achievements?

All Achievements can also be fulfilled on the modded side.

The Save file method doesn't have cheater flag scripts however will note that this is a "modded character". There's also a risk that depending on the method used (what the mod of choice offers) that there's a high chance that the cloned / moved character_save may not be able to return back to the vanilla side functionally.

Here is the solution you're looking for: no cheater flags, no modded notes, no commands; just swap your Shared Stash file with this file (check for safety) to get access to some respec potions. Clone this Shared Stash file as many times as needed for infinity.

allright thanks. last question. will adding a mod after i started my character (on mod mode) mess up my game?

EDIT: you last post took some time to get through and i see it now. is that method without playing on mod mode? cause i did do your save file transfer things a bit ago

Characters are only affected once a mod has been used on that loaded character.
If the mod used doesn't offer vanilla methods then yes, that would prevent vanilla.

Shared Stash Files can be swapped both for vanilla and modded's save folders.
Currently, your character can still be moved back to vanilla (copy cloning is even better).
