It's just a shame this mod doesn't come with the recipe for the "A Mirror Darkly Shield", as without it you're completely at the mercy of RNG and could end up never finding the recipe or the shield itself, effectively making the mod pointless for that playthrough.

thank you for this mod, for such a hard shield to make or obtain, the darkly mirrorsome shield is utterly suicidal to use on its own.

It is in the blacksmithing anvil near the bottom

I can't see where to craft it !

I do see what you mean maybe 7 or 8 smithing would fix this

I understand what you are saying, my concern is that there needs to be a progression to getting this shield because, from my play throughs with the shield, nothing in the game is better than this shield. I may be wrong and thats why I am asking about balance issues, but I have literally never replaced this shield with anything other than itself. That said, if it is the best shield in the game now, it needs to be difficult to acquire.

But if you do make it a different one you don't have to even bother with crafting or finding darkly you still have a choice to craft it and you don't have to deal with having the darkly hurting you if you don't have resist untill you get the new sheild

It is a default recipe because the darkly shield is a hidden one. Definitely has to be hidden in some degree because the shield is pretty damn good. In its current state it forces you to choose between having your reactive darkly shield (assuming you have high enough resists to use it) or a static boost in all resists. If I make it a new hidden recipe that comes straight from the mirror shield then you do not get that choice.

How would everyone feel if I added a recipe in that let you "corrupt" the prismatic shield and convert it back to the Darkly Mirror Shield? That way you always have the choice assuming you have the appropriate mats.

Would also love to hear how you guys feel the balance is on the shield if its too strong/weak etc.

I think this should be hidden as the darkly is hidden and since the darkly isn't really a curse maybe it should just be made from the mirror sheild

That was supposed to say "curse" as in I know its not, but wanted to have some kind of sudo-lore with it :)

The mirror darkly 'curse' isn't really a curse - it just hits you and the enemy - consider making it use a spell that doesn't hit the caster/offering defences in that region?

Looks nice, I hope to make it soon, I just need some perfect obsidian, and I haven't found one yet :/
