Salt and Sanctuary: Enhanced Mode XML Documentation Number Hunting [WIP]

https://www.nexusmods.com/saltandsanctuary/mods/26?tab=description

Copy your loot.zlx dialog.zdx monsters.zox skilltree.zsx and strings.ztx files from your S&S install folder into the packed folder of the unpacker and run unpack.bat. These files are contained within folders sharing their names, except for strings which is contained in the dialogue folder.

In the unpacked folder will be the XML files so you can test and modify the game.

Starting from the files value for stat scaling

Multiply the value listed in the files by 1.25 to get the scaling value displayed in game

Multiply by the weapons upgrade factor one time per upgrade the weapon has gotten

Divide by 10

Multiply by the corresponding attribute (up until the softcap)

Multiply by the weapon’s base damage

Divide by 5

Add the weapons base damage to get final damage

This method has been 100% consistent for one handed single attribute weapons regardless of attribute, and pure dex weapons both single and two handed. I believe this method works for two handed strength weapons, but the nature of softcaps and two-handed strength makes this difficult to verify.

I have tested and confirmed the following do not influence weapon damage or scaling in any way:

• Weapon weight
• Weapon tier
• Weapon type

Multi attribute weapons have an additional 1.1 to 1.5 times larger damage value compared to the values expected from the formula above. I have confirmed that with equal strength and dex a weapon with 2.5 str/dex scaling has higher damage than a weapon with 5 strength scaling.

I have not been able to find out how multi attribute scaling works, please let me know if you are able to figure it out.
