TS: AC Modding Tool Guide
This tool allows the sharing of partially modified data through the Workshop.
Using this tool, you can change some values of the game data.
Caution
If values such as movement distance or sight range increase significantly, the game client's performance may be affected due to enemy AI pathfinding calculations and movement processing. This could result in abnormal termination or significantly slowed gameplay.

Since buffs are mostly stat-related information, you can register the desired stat values in the Stat Registry.

"Stat Registry (Evaluated)" is where you register the calculated values of a buff's stat that change based on level.
