The Remnants 


Dragged by force through a boiling seam,
Their screams were lost in portal's gleam.
Behind they left, the Rot consumed,
Ahead, unknown, the past entombed.
 
The eldritch maw, a binding snare,
No choice, no mercy lingered there.
Through twisting void, their bodies cast,
No longer chained by time held fast.
 
Their paths now scattered in era new,
With lands untouched and nature grew.
Yet deep in ground, the Rot yet wait,
An ancient curse, a lingering fate.

 

Includes Five Brand New and Five Reimagined Classes


  • Made with multiplayer in mind to help fill the gaps left by the base game class system, but still kept single player balancing in mind for some unique playing experience.
  • Each class has been given a more focused role within a community, as well as unique crafts to given to each of them.
  • Designed with compatibility in mind, should be compatible with most content mods, as long as there is no conflicts with a listed recipe or rebalance in the base game.
  • Note: When you start a new world to select a class, your starting gear will populate in your hotbar. As you scroll through the classes, it will fill up your hotbar but don't worry! When you select the class you want to start with it will only give you the appropriate items.

Roadmap & Future Additions

  • New items for each character, along with new bits of lore to help uncover the past of the Seraphs.
  • New classes to expand into additional areas of the game.
  • Ensure future compatibility with popular overhaul mods.

Known Issues

  • The "Recovered Lantern" cannot be used on an elk or boat, the way it was implemented before could cause crashing when placing it on the ground, wall, etc. I have disabled that feature for now until I find a patch that is stable. As of right now it will act as a pre-1.20 lantern. 

Other Mods You Should Check Out

  • My friend made a mod too! "Expanded Molds" By RowdyArt, a man with a larger brain than I, whom came up with a lovely array of new bulk molds for mid to late game bulk metal casting.

Disclaimer: I have never made mod before my brain is smal. Please let me know if there are any bugs you discover in the comments, or feel free to message me on the VS discord.

💬 MikeSyrup, 10 hours ago

Can this mod be made compatible with Combat Overhaul, please?

💬 Brutus127, 17 hours ago

Loving the mod, but with combat overhaul installed it seems as if Yeoman has vanilla blackguard traits, hedge knight seems to have the vanilla hunter stats and the Ironmonger has vanilla clockmaker stats.

Working with mod authors to try and see what ways foward I have for compatibility patching, CO has alot of moving parts that touchs a lot of parts of the game, including the class system. 

 

EndlessOats

That.....is a very good idea, I never thought about that! I think it is because I have always played with the game option of always drop clutter items on. But I will put it on the list!

💬 Sevie, 3 days ago

very unique! i like how the different classes feel like their debuffs are actually related to their professions, instead of just being tacked on like vanilla ones. having two combat-focused classes to choose from is also really nice, and adds some much needed variety to multiplayer servers.

that being said, i wish the guildsman didn't have such crippling debuffs! i get the reason for them being fragile, but personally i would never pick a class with such heavy debuffs, even as a challenge (coming from someone who regularly plays as a tailor). the -25% melee damage makes it too much for me.

💬 AzuliBluespots, 4 days ago

+1 on the combat overhaul compatibility, this is a really interesting take on classes, and if it has a synnergy with Combat Overhaul, it's going to be my go-to class mod for a while.

💬 Cuddly_Khan, 4 days ago

Hey, are there any plans of making this compatible with Xskills? Specifically for the different skill bonuses for each class.

💬 EndlessOats, 6 days ago

Pretty cool, but I notice that with the Wanderer class you can craft lanterns out of jonas lights, but there's no buff that makes it so you can pick them up without them shattering. I think the idea of a mobile class is kind of broken by the requirement of a quern in order to make glue for making what's supposed to be an "on the fly" kind of item. Consider adding a buff that makes it so they can pick up ruins/just jonas lights without glue regardless of world setting (or even just have a chance to).

Love the poem!

💬 Windle, Jan 12th at 1:41 PM

glad to hear it !! ive been reading the new entries and such of all the new and overhauled classes and i can imagine them having really fun and varied weapon proficiencies that fit both the playstyle and their lore :DD

💬 MrFistycuffsAuthor, Jan 12th at 12:18 AM

Windle

I will look into it, never used the combat overhaul mod myself, but the idea of custom proficiencies are too good to not get compatibility for!

💬 Windle, Jan 11th at 5:39 AM

this looks suuuuper interesting and i really like the addition of a wandering class !! are there any plans with adding compat with https://mods.vintagestory.at/combatoverhaul ? would be cool to see what this mod would look like with their weapon proficiency system !!

💬 bringitonwimps, Jan 11th at 2:20 AM

ok, I'll test it out and let you know.. thanks!

💬 MrFistycuffsAuthor, Jan 11th at 1:43 AM

bringitonwimps 

Should be, the remnants replaces the base game classes, and the all classes mod adds to that list, just loaded it up with both no problem, and there shouldn't be any conflicts with recipes, but let me know if you run into serious issues. 

💬 Inflectus, Jan 11th at 1:36 AM

This is some great stuff. Love your visioning and balancing for this mod. :)

💬 bringitonwimps, Jan 11th at 1:05 AM

do you know if this will be compatible with the all classes mod?.. I like this but I don't want to force all my players to reclass again, already moved from more classes to all classe once.

💬 _Mason, Jan 10th at 10:05 PM

Oh wow, this looks by far like the best class mod I've seen yet. I especially love how the base classes were reworked and the idea of giving each class some starting equipment.

I'm definitely going to follow this, want to see how it expands in the future.
