If you've ever picked up an item in FromSoftware's expansive open-world game and been confused about how it works, an Elden Ring mod has got you covered. The Detailed Item Descriptions mod does exactly what it says on the tin - adding new, extensive item descriptions complete with exact damage numbers and percentages for every single item in the RPG game. This includes spells, equipment, and weapon skills along with all of the usable items.
Dziggy, creator of the Detailed Item Descriptions Elden Ring mod, says they made the mod because they were "sick of looking up every item to see what it actually did." As a result, they embarked on a mammoth undertaking to rewrite the descriptions for "every single item in the game, including spells, equipment, and weapon skills." These descriptions now include accurate, often detailed text descriptions that explain how the item is used and what effects it can apply.
The mod also details exact numbers, breaking them down into individual statistics such as base physical damage, stat accumulation (for buildup effects such as sleep or bleed), and buff or debuff percentages applied to affected characters. It even uses coloured text to break things up nicely into an easily readable and understandable format.
