Darkest Dungeon Modding - Mission Maximum Level Restriction

Turns out it is very easy to mod the frustration-grind game Darkest Dungeon: The various .JSON and .DARKEST files are simply text files and are easy to read.

You can buy Darkest Dungeon with no-hassle setup and risk-free money-back guarantee from Good Old Games.

If you ever get a character up to level 3, you will discover that they are now locked out of the easier green missions. This is very irritating because you may well have a less-than-full four-team at that level, meaning that character will either have to bring a bunch of lower-level characters and possibly fail, or sit on the sidelines until you can gather a higher level crew.

Fortunately, you can simply edit C:\GOG Games\Darkest Dungeon\campaign\quest\quest.json as a text file and change this. Go to the end of the file and change the entries there into:

    "restriction": {
        "difficulty": {
            "comment": "This table restricts what level heroes can go on what level quest. ROWS are DIFFICULTY, COLs are QUEST LENGTH",
            "resolve_level_threshold_table": [
                99,
                99,
                99,
                99,
                99,
                99,
                99
            ]
        }
    }

This changes the level cutoff to level 99.
