Will there be Mythic item drops or will it only be obtained through crafting (formulas)?

In current game state, is there an area/dungeon where one can hunt/farm for better/increased chance of loots?
I never knew a SV version with droppable Mythics (outside of a formula). And it's probably for the best. I admit these items are probably not balanced in the current version of SV. Maybe still too rare, too powerful with too low requirements.

There is no particular area I designed for farming. Actually farming is not something I want to favor. It shouldn't be part of the core gameplay in my opinion. Not something you have to do. Only something you do if you are underleveled, have bad stuff, or if you're looking for a particular MI. Or in the end game.
I prefer to give more options to trade or recycle stuff, and offer a good variety of items to players just playing the game "normally" (like no farm, full map clear) than to create "farming zones" or encourage boss runs and such. So farming should be pretty much like the base game now.

Don't remove or nerf the Mythical gear =)
We are already missing the relic/charm on epic/legendary items, so it's great to look forward to the mythical items.

--------------------

I thought about an idea, from from a mod in the Steam workshop:
How about a very, very small chance a hero will spawn from a monster that has been killed? Say 0.05% chance (or lower)
And maybe 0.01% chance (or lower) a Hero boss will spawn?

Is there a version of SV I can download to play with a separate install of Immortal Throne? I'm jonesing, and without a release date on this, I'm debating just playing the older version. It's not nearly as long too, which is appreciated

You can download the original versions of Soulvizier here

https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?board=250.0

Whether they all include IT as well I don't know since I've never played this mod. 

As for this version I doubt it since Nordic combined both TQ and IT into one version when they made Titan Quest AE.

I heard this before, I can do something similar, but not for every monster, only a few. That would be too much work otherwise.
There's at least a planned hero in A5 that will make a surprise spawn out of a standard random enemy that dies.

Just so you know, the topic has been moved in a new board dedicated to SV:AERA along with the other SV topics.

I'll update the downloads section this evening with the first public release.

After several years of work, the mod is finally released !
Some work is yet to be done, there will always be new ideas for content, and need for balance and bug fixes. But given the good feedback during the private beta, I thought it was time to release it publicly.

Link on first page in the Downloads section.
https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=1201.msg14052#msg14052

It's a "hard mod" version, like in the private beta.
I will now work on a custom maps version (Steam or GOG), no release date yet.

I will update the presentation page tomorrow. Thanks to all those who participated in this project, and thanks you for your patience !

You mean copy the whole Titan Quest Anniversary Edition directory and install the mod files there ? I think it should work, that's what nargil does IIRC.
But if the official game updates (engine changes, exe or dll changes), you'll have to copy the updated files manually.

For the saves, there will still be 1 directory for all saves, so name your characters SV_XXX, Sou_XXX or whatever. You can also create a special save directory for SV, but you'll have to rename it each time you want to switch.

Yes it works. Way easier than renaming files each time for those who want to still play vanilla game alongside SV.

Or re-install SV from updated vanilla game. Not so long and official updates are not so frequent.

It's just that sometimes, the devs do "silent" updates, they don't really tell anyone or create a new version, and yet some files are updated. I've noticed that several times.
That's another reason why it's best to disables auto-updates if you use Steam (I don't know how GOG works).
