Description
This mod is a 17-floor dungeon that is intended to be a self-contained alternative dungeon to the normal 'story campaign'. The main selling point is that it isn't a epic, long, grindy experience, but a more condensed, shorter experience of 6 hours, usually played with a pure class, without multiple jobs.
The first level to be played is Cedar Caverns 1st Floor, as usual, then it follows with 14 random levels of varied biomes, and it ends in the three handcrafted levels of the official mod Replicator 88, slightly modified, including the end boss. It also includes five fast travel points/merchants.

The mod is balanced for Harcdore mode, or at least, with new characters with no use of inherited weapons/money and no high level pets (level 3-4 pets are ok). This said, you don't have take my advice and play in other modes.
It's balanced to only play this dungeon, from start to finish, with a new Level 1 character, if you go to the normal story dungeons, or to other side dungeons, and gain more xp/loot, consider it cheating. Obviously there is no way to control all this, it's a pure honor system for the player :).
You will gain Orbs in a different way, instead of dropping from champions you will find a handful of them in specific places, between the last floors of the dungeon. Use them wisely.

The difficulty of this mod is a bit higher than the base game, so it's recommended to people who already played 15+ hours already in Tangledeep. Still, it isn't a mod designed to have a HARD experience, it's still perfectly fair, just with a judicious use of weapons, skills and consumables (...and the wisdom of knowing when to retreat) should be enough.
If you still have problems, some hints:
-You can play the tutorial floor to obtain a bit of xp/jp to start, and some extra health flasks.
-Remember to use consumables or offensive items in hard situations.
-Sometimes a 'very hard' champion may appear, you can try avoid them, even advance a floor, and come back later when you have leveled up or got better loot.
-You will have less recovery items as there aren't normal fireplaces, try to look for alternative ways of healing (level up events, job trials, tents, even inside dream floors) to compensate, and use food recipes.
-Remember to use well your orbs, both to upgrade your equipment and to enter in the dream and get some loot/xp/jp.
-Buy summoner eggs whenever they are available, a pair of extra allies may save your skin in the endgame.

How to play: Enter in the first normal dungeon (Cedar Caverns 1st Floor), complete it, then use the stairs that say:
"CONDENSED RUN - START HERE!"

Notes: As you will have less gold, loot, xp and jp because the dungeon is shorter than the main game, and the days don't pass in the same way than in the main quest, the following changes have been done:
- 10-20% off in several shops.
- Katie shop have slightly more magical & powerful items, that appear before than usual.
- All shops have much bigger capacity.
- Tents can be found in Katie's shop for ~300 gold, so you can heal and pass days easier. Otherwise, the game won't advance days in the usual fashion while playing the dungeon.
- Some tweaking done in xp, jp, orb, and magic item chance ratio.

V1.2
-Reduced to almost zero the normal Orb droprate, in exchange the player wins six orbs in the end part of the dungeon, one by one.
-Introduced some snipers in the last levels, reduced the number of mechaslimes.

V1.1:
-Added slight boost of xp, jp, orb, loot and magic item chance ratio. Increased
-Removed special item to increase JP gained, it isn't needed anymore.

V1.0:
-Original release

Well, that's not notrmal behavior from the game itself. Try to remove the mod, not only disable it.

I'm so glad people are still making mods for Tangledeep. (Albeit very slowly)
This mod looks like a nice change of pace from the normal experience, so I'll be sure to give it a shot when I have the time.
