#2 - How to use TQRespec

Now you can open it.




It does no require an installation, you just open it and it locates your game files.




The next info is taken directly from epinter/tqrespec Github's page:

Keep in mind that this software make modifications to your save game (more specifically the file Player.chr). You shouldn't modify your characters while the game is running, you can corrupt your save game.

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR SAVE GAME FOLDER (Documents/My Games/Titan Quest - Immortal Throne).

• Running without the game installed:
  
  This application uses game data. If you want to run it on a PC that doesn't have the game installed, make sure you have a 'gamedata' directory with Database and Text resources inside it.
  
  Where Database and Text folders (with its contents) are copied from the game. The savegame needs to be at the same location as the game uses (Documents/My Games/...).
  
  
• Use it!
  
  Select the character you want to change. Now you can see some information like Class and Difficulty, and start to change your savegame.
  
  
• Attributes
  
  There are five attributes available to change (Health, Energy, Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity). When you decrease an attribute, you will see the number in "Available Points" increasing, and when you increase an attribute the points are automatically got from "Available Points". The number that increases in each of the attribute fields follows in game rules. In fact, you can't give more points to your character, just redistribute. So no cheat.
  
  
• Skills
  
  Now if you change to Skills tab, you will see two lists with the skills of your character. Below these lists, there are two buttons for each. The first button "Reclaim All Skills Points" will remove all points allocated on skills on that mastery and make the points available to use in game. The button "Mastery" permits you to reduce the mastery level to 1 or remove the mastery completely.
  
  If you have a mastery on level 24 and 7 skills with points allocated, you can click on "Reclaim All Skills Points" to have the points from the 7 skills back to you. Then you click on "Mastery / Reclaim" to have 23 points back from the mastery, so you will have the mastery with just 1 point allocated, or you can click on "Mastery / Remove" to have all 24 points from mastery.
  
  
• Characters list and stats
  
  When you click on the button near the character selection list, you will be able to see a table with all your characters, with attributes and stats. There's also an option to export the table to CSV. To Archive or Unarchive a character, right click on the row and select the option desired. When the archive is done, the character directory is moved from "SaveData/Main/_charactername" to "SaveData/Main/ArchivedCharacters/_charactername", hiding it from the game. Unarchive moves the character back to default directory.
  
  
• Saving and backup
  
  After you finish, you can click on Save. At this moment, TQRespec will make a backup of the file "Player.chr" inside a .zip in the folder "Titan Quest - Immortal Throne/SaveData/TQRespec Backup". The file "Player.chr" is where the games saves everything about the character, except the progress, transfer area and storage.

#3 - Now enjoy!

If you wanted to just respec your character, TQRespec is a very intuitive tool. However it might be more complicated if you wanted to use it on mobile devices.

There are various other tools for Titan Quest, like TQ Defiler, however it can be a bit troublesome with this Anniversary Edition.

That's all. All credits to its respective creator, Epinter.
