No loot drops, only gold (v.2)

Torchlite II (roguelite pack)

Description
This Torchlight 2 mod makes enemies drop only gold, allowing you to focus on clearing while adventuring - leaving the item management and theorycrafting for when you're safely back in town. And why would a dog ever drop a sword or ring...?

Chests have had their item drop rates reduced ten-fold but their quality doubled. You won't find empty chests everywhere though - a shiny pile of gold should drop roughly every time you'd have found a less rare item in the vanilla game!

With random loot still being generated by chests and other sources, this approach allows for the usual excitement of coming across epic gear (and the challenge of making the most out of that), while also promoting more intentional agency and strategy in your theorycrafting because you have to deliberately choose when and how to spend your gold rather than just picking incremental upgrades off of the ground.

More information here[github.com]. Source on GitHub[github.com].

This mod was custom-built as an integral part of the Torchlite II roguelite pack.

Very nice mod, you can concentrate on the battle with your friend without distractions. Works in multiplayer in 2024

I have finally released the modpack this mod was intended to be a part of: the Torchlite II Roguelite Pack! It includes the new Adventure Mode mod which overhauls the game's campaign.

Both the modlist and the mod are available here on Steam for those interested in reading more:

Glad you managed to get it working and like the mod too Vitor! If you like this, keep an eye open for a new mod and mod-list that I built this and Scaling Vendors to be part of, you might like it too!

You comment here already means more than anything but if you could drop a thumbs-up or an award to help promote the mod in the Workshop, that would be very helpful too <3 Happy gaming!

Problem solved!
For Linux Mint XFCE 18.3 the Torchlight II savegame location is:
/home/<USERNAME>/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Torchlight II/my games/runic games/torchlight 2/
The mod is AWESOME. Is now possible to rush through the world picking up gold only from monsters. Chests drop Blue+, never seen a green or less, so every item has a good money value or an utility of some sort.
In addition, the perks "More Gold drop from Monsters" or "Increased % of magic drops" now are extremely useful, if the formula works how I think it does.
The char file is untouched, so is still possible to add other mods, or remove the mod and still have the char playable.
Probably won't play anymore without!

Yeah Vitor, TL2 seems to have a folder for vanilla saves and another for modded games. I think both should be compatible since this mod doesn't add or remove anything really.

In my Linux install I have "save" and "modsave" folders under "my games/runic games/torchlight 2" when you right-click the game and select "browse local files".

On Windows the location seems to be "Documents/My Games/Runic Games/Torchlight 2" and you can find the same folders there.

Remember to backup your saves just in case, I haven't tried this myself so proceed with caution!

Also, I made this mod to be a part of a larger modlist which is ready for release - but the timing for it was wrong with the new Path of Exile league and Lost Ark coming out this month. If you'd rather wait to try the whole modlist, I will announce ti in this comment section once I make it public! Thanks for checking the mod anyway and have fun!

I'd like to play with this mod, but my savegame seems to be in another folder.
I looked for it to copy in the "Mods" savegame folder, but after finding out 20 different indications to where the Steam savegames are under Linux (none of those indications being true), I decided to carry on with my unmodded game due to not being up to re-start for the 3rd time a lev. 46 character.
If one day I will be able to discover where Steam saves my games (one of which got lost despite using the cloud), I'll gladly try this mod out.

Hey guys I've just uploaded a rebalance for this mod which I've been testing since August 2021 (which honestly I had just forgotten to publish here... but hey better late than never)!

For details on the new balance approach check the "more information" link on the description.

Thanks for the award! Expect some big news on the topic of TL2 mods soon!

This is cool. I usually end up ignoring shops in these games because of drops, which feels like a waste.

Small update: chests now drop ~50% less coins, meaning that you're more likely to see item drops from chests again. My goal is that you should see at least one (hopefully pretty powerful) item drop after opening a boss chest.

Monster drops remain unchanged in this update.
