That artwork is amazing.

Just to make sure am not missing anything, is the last new module in this pack the Limitless: RAIKOV Core?

What version of anti recon are we on now? Getting tiring to keep track of this!

@SaintSovereign

What would be the difference between using the Inner Spa module versus the Anti-Recon module in a custom?

Isn’t the inner spa method itself a form of anti-recon?

Good question I was wondering the same.

From my understanding i think inner spa essence has some of the healing aspects of DR:Regen.

Lets wait for @SaintSovereign to confirm.

The Inner Spa is an ESSENCE module, containing the entire “essence” of Dragon Reborn: Regeneration, including the healing scripting and other elements of Dragon Reborn: Regeneration – like the “emotional thermostat” features.

Anti-recon is focused only on anti-recon. They don’t even overlap that much.

AEON, RAIKOV and HERO: The Light that Blinds did not get ESSENCE modules. They are far too advanced to be reduced in the manner necessary for a successful ESSENCE module.

From the post of the first ESSENCE pack, which I’m adding to the first post in this thread:

Ever made a custom and thought - “hmm, I love this custom, but I sure would love to have a bit more of X title in it”?

And that is exactly what Essence is - not quite a module, not quite a core, but something in-between. Not as big as a core, not as small and granular as a module, an Essence module allows you to infuse your custom with the theme, aspect, idea and/or archetype of a major title, without overloading the custom or completely changing the whole functioning.

Think of it as grilling a delicious steak, and then using different marinades or seasonings to lightly alter the flavor profile of the steak - but fundamentally, a steak is a steak, be it Indian spices style, BBQ or simple, classic salt and pepper.

Rough guidelines:

** Use one or two Essence modules, maximum 3 if carefully selected and well thought through.*
** You can use one that perfectly aligns with your modules to give it extra oomph.*
** You can use one that is different from your modules to give it a different feeling and lightly alter its functioning.*
** Don’t overload the custom with many Essence modules. You don’t want to mix 10 different seasonings - you’ll just get a mess.*
** The limit of modules is still 20.*
** For the sake of scripting size and complexity, Essence are on a range of approximately 1.5 to 3 modules worth. Remember that this also differs from person to person, as each one of us differently responds to different subliminal input - for one, an Essence module might be a 1.5, for another who has struggled with that area a 5.*

@SaintSovereign - i dont think i phrased.my Question correctly. Was wondering if there were any more items after the listing showing Limitless RAIKOV Core. Am I missing a Show More button? Makijng sure the New Modules page is loading correctly.

Hope you get well soon, Saint.

True

What would happen then if you made a name embedded with just an NxE core and an essence module

NWE + Essence: For The Love Of Gold being an example

What is the difference between:

Her Hunt, Your Throne

and

ESSENCE: To Become the Prize

ESSENCE: To Become the Prize is the essence module of New Wanted – the entire title. Her Hunt, Your Throne is a singular feature. See the description of what an ESSENCE module is and what it’s used for:

So what could the inner spa be mixed with in your opinion? lol
Hmmmm this just gave my customs a new idea

Pretty much the same thing you’d use with Dragon Reborn: Regeneration, without having to devote an entire core. Note that the effect will most likely generate a soft, but consistent healing effect. Could be used to deepen a custom’s reach.

@Floridianninja - hey man. Are there any modules after the Limitless RAIKOV Core in the New Modules page?

2 Likes

No, there isn’t. Polyglot is missing and that should be the last one. That category is only for recently released modules and cores.
