# Akuns-Gear-
This is an item mod that contains 2 enchanted katanas and 1 armor for a Wizard Slayer.
All items are only equippable for the Wizard Slayer fighter subclass at level 4.

The items can be bought from the merchant Erdane in the Durlags Tower area(outside of Durlags Tower). The trader sells the items
directly from his stock (no dialogue options). Regular price is thousands of gold per item.

This mod is fanfiction.

# Supported Games
* BG:EE (Baldur's Gate:Enhanced Edition) tested version is 2.6.6.0

# Operating Systems
* Tested on Windows 11 (and probably works on other operating systems, but no guarantee)

# Compatibility
* Installed SOD (Siege of Dragonspear) as DLC for BG:EE (see "Troubleshooting" here in readme to get things right)
* [EET](https://github.com/Gibberlings3/EET) (Enhanced Edition Trilogy) tested version is [14.1](https://github.com/Gibberlings3/EET/releases/tag/v14.1)
* [Project Infinity](https://github.com/ALIENQuake/ProjectInfinity) is untested as I don't use Project Infinity, 
but the Akun's Gear mod provides an INI file for PI as I realize PI has an active user group. 
I don't recommend using Project Infinity, because the source code is not open.

# Languages
* English

# Installation
1. Download the latest version, which you can find [here](https://github.com/Incrementis/Akuns-Gear-/releases)
2. Unzip the file e.g. "*Akuns-Gear--1.0.0.zip*"
3. Navigate into the unzipped folder until you see the "*akgear*" folder.
4. Copy the folder "*akgear*" and the file "*Setup-akgear.exe*" and paste them into your Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition game folder.
5. Start "*Setup-akgear.exe*" and select the installation language.

# Troubleshooting
## There are known issues when installing SOD as DLC for BG:EE
Here is a solution:

* Before "Akun's Gear" is installed(If it is already installed, uninstall it before installing SOD by launching "*Setup-akgear.exe*".):
	1. SOD needs to be installed as BG:EE DLC 
	2. and after that [DLCmerger](https://github.com/Argent77/A7-DlcMerger/releases) needs to be installed.

Here is my [fast](https://github.com/Incrementis/Akuns-Gear-/blob/main/akgear/Fast_installation_of_DLCmergerEN.pdf) Win64 installation guide for DLCmerger, but possibly the [official](https://github.com/Argent77/A7-DlcMerger) installation guide is recommended.

## Installation of EET in combination with this mod
It seems, that the installation of EET and mods is not trivial.

Here is my [fast](https://github.com/Incrementis/Akuns-Gear-/blob/main/akgear/Fast_installation_of_EET.pdf) installation guide for EET, but possibly the [official](https://github.com/Gibberlings3/EET/blob/master/EET/readme-EET.html) installation guide is recommended.
