Makes later game Iron grinding MUCH less grindy. I already did my penence and played the game through to Yagluth twice without the Portal mod so I feel zero guilt at using the mod now for solo replay.

NOTE: all these mods are client side but will work on shared servers without the server being modded last I checked.

If Iron Gate ever makes the game so I can't use the above mods I will stop playing.

I hope this was useful :D Good Hunting o/

thank you very much!

was planning on just a solo-play with jsut client side mods this is awesome!
