This mod adds all legendary items across DLCs into the global legendary loot pools, and by default adds all uniques, seraphs, pearlescents, and effervescents into the legendary pools, too. This applies to weapons, grenade mods, class mods, shields, and even relics. The mod will also by default add in gemstone weapons into the purple drop pool, and add the Dragon Keep "Alignment" Class Mods to the global class mod drops. These additions, like most of the functionality in this mod, can be disabled/configured easily.

To compensate for the increased number of items which are available in the legendary/purple pools, this mod also increases the chances of those drops, by default. An optional configuration section can be used to revert those rates to the standard drop rates, or set them to drop even more frequently, instead.

This mod was basically taken straight out of BL2 Better Loot, though there are a few functional differences. This mod will not play nicely with Better Loot, or my Cold Dead Hands mod, for that matter! Those mods already improve the loot drops in their own ways, and having this mod on top will result in undefined behavior.

This mod isn't entirely dissimilar to FromDarkHell's BL1Loot.txt, though that mod just adds a bunch of stuff to the legendary weapons pool (and doesn't include things like COMs), whereas this one adds things to their respective loot pools and allows for more configuration.

Various legendary-and-similar loot pool alterations.  First, gemstones can be added
to the purples pool, and then a series of optional categories which can add uniques,
pearls, seraphs, and effervescents into the main legendary pools.

Don't use this with BL2 Better Loot or BL2 Cold Dead Hands!
