Every 10 levels, the number of points allocated decreases - Knowledge Points by one, Health Points by two (for example, from level 11 it's 9 Knowledge Points and 10 Health Points).

When the conditions are met, a hint will appear on the screen that this merchant will make it more expensive to redeem items.
- Although the price for selling items increases when certain conditions are met, as the following chapters progress, the price decreases to maintain balance.
Trader Behavior:
- Merchants will put away all their equipped weapons, including firearms, before trading with the hero (most characters will not equip bows/crossbows).
Alchemy changes:
- Alchemy now has three levels (beginner, advanced, and master), which are learned from teachers. To make potions, you need to know the recipes, which are found in the world or bought from merchants.
Blacksmithing changes:
- Similar to alchemy - three levels, which are learned from teachers, the others from blueprints. The exception to this is ore weapons, which are taught by Bennet and Jan. For money and with knowledge of blacksmithing, they will teach you how to make these weapons.

- Added new ones for the water mage.
Dynamic events in the world:

Changes in Worlds:
- For example, for the city where the teleport was, the setting of Jharkendar is now fully formed.
Conditions for obtaining the key to the passage to the Miner's Valley:

Installation information
- You need to install Union (some features are used on it)
- Attention! The mod is not compatible with plugins or patches that change damage formulas, because the scripts have their own formulas.
Planned changes in the next update:
In the upcoming update, a significant expansion of the quest component is planned. We will focus on completely reworking the guilds and masters in Khorinis, creating more interesting side quests and reviving the later chapters of the game. New quests are already part of the mod, but they are rather primitive and banal, created primarily to enrich the gameplay (although such quests are also important).
A more detailed list of planned changes:
- Significant expansion of the quest component: creation of new and more interesting quests.
- Revising and reinterpreting the guilds and masters in Khorinis: Revising the existing guilds and masters to make them more involved in the game.
- Reviving later chapters: Adding new content to later chapters of the game.
Expanding territories and changing existing areas: Changes to the map and adding new locations.
- Possible implementation of shield mechanics: New shield combat options.
New gameplay elements.
- New crafting options: Addition of new options, such as scroll writing.
- Improvements and refinements to companions: Improving companions to not just be empty characters, similar to Biff.
