so are golden trinkets like stronger versions then normal or something ?

Love it, amazing idea for a mod <3
but PLEASE make it so that it turns regular cards into their tarot cloth empowered versions 🙏

@WarlockArcher that's a good idea
WarlockArcher 24 Aug, 2021 @ 1:22pm 
maybe the custom wisp would apply a midas touch affect to enemies that come in contact with the wisp

@WarlockArcher I did not add a custom book of virtues wisp, so it probably just gives you a basic blue wisp or none at all
WarlockArcher 23 Aug, 2021 @ 9:17pm 
how does this work with the book of virtues?

@jnadler this mod is repentance only
jnadler 21 Jul, 2021 @ 1:35pm 
repentance?
edin  [author] 25 Jun, 2021 @ 4:56pm 
@ToasterJosh sooo sorry about that and ty for the help, I really messed up some of the logic last update, just pushed a new update to fix it.

Also if anyone is interested, I'm trying to get some feedback on how I should release future mods, it would be helpful if anyone wants to fill out this quick google survey, its only 3 questions https://forms.gle/2Sif4Fn5WWoheim4A

Seems to be broken at the moment? Every time I have bought it in the shop so far it's been infinite-use instead of breaking after 3 times. The sprite doesn't even "change" to show that it is breaking/cracking on use. I've tried changing it's max uses in the mod config menu but that also doesn't change anything. When using the Dev Console to give myself the stone, only the 2nd and 3rd stage of the stone seem to work correctly.
example:
giveitem c732 (Broken, never actually deteriorates after use)
giveitem c731 (works as intended, progresses to 3rd stage)
giveitem c730 (works as intended, deletes itself on use)
Hope this helps, that is if this isn't just a problem caused by something on my end. If it is feel free to call me an idiot and ignore me.

I think it'd be better if it was a consumable, like a card. An active item breaking is a bit weird.
诸葛孔明Alter 19 Jun, 2021 @ 1:39am 
That challenge does not offer me infinite usage of the stone. It is the normal 3 times usage version
Zical 7 Jun, 2021 @ 10:40pm 
what about infinite charge and 12 room charge?
edin  [author] 7 Jun, 2021 @ 12:14pm 
Update released: now has Mod Config Menu Support to change the number of uses. The number of uses is now stored in data so it shouldnt reset every update. I also fixed a bug with the challenge and also made it coop compatible
edin  [author] 7 Jun, 2021 @ 10:39am 
@base4 sorry about that, found the issue and fixed it for the next patch that Ill release today. The next patch will also makes the challenge coop compatible
base4 7 Jun, 2021 @ 9:09am 
I just tried the challenge. I didn't receive a philospher's stone at the start???
Gamer Norman 6 Jun, 2021 @ 3:26pm 
so cool would love to see this in the game if they do another booster :}}}
lobotomite |HM| 5 Jun, 2021 @ 4:28pm 
that'd be cool
spliffern. 5 Jun, 2021 @ 3:38pm 
also, does this turn poops into golden poops?
spliffern. 5 Jun, 2021 @ 3:37pm 
you should make it so that rocks turn into the special rocks with golden pieces in them. then again, that might be a little too op
danyukhin 5 Jun, 2021 @ 1:59pm 
wow, that's legit
Luceus 5 Jun, 2021 @ 9:21am 
Am I the only one thinking it should cost only 15 coins like all other items?
edin  [author] 4 Jun, 2021 @ 5:12pm 
@Mari*nette Yes, the item supports that mod, you can see it in one of the screenshots
Mari 4 Jun, 2021 @ 4:33pm 
external item descriptions?
KickableSmuuy 4 Jun, 2021 @ 1:15am 
this could bust tainted cain into shards. very interesting
诸葛孔明Alter 3 Jun, 2021 @ 7:09pm 
Very creative!
edin  [author] 3 Jun, 2021 @ 4:16pm 
@windows 10 If you really want to, I have made it so you can edit the main.lua of the mod and change the MAX_USES variable at the top to be 1 instead of 3.
edin  [author] 3 Jun, 2021 @ 3:22pm 
Update Released! The item now has 3 uses before breaking rather than 1. It is a 6 room charge between uses. A new challenge is also included called "Gold Rush" which gives you a Philosopher's Stone that does not degrade, and is a 6 room charge. It should be a fun way to play around with the item if you aren't lucky enough to get it in your runs!

Thank you guys for the support! We are almost at 1k concurrent subscribers which is amazing!
mewomode 3 Jun, 2021 @ 3:21pm 
make it a one use item instead...........................................................
edin  [author] 3 Jun, 2021 @ 12:41pm 
@jouppi, you know what, thats a pretty good compromise, I might implement that later today
RWposting 3 Jun, 2021 @ 12:05pm 
just the fact that it gold-ifies items too is amazing
Jouppi 3 Jun, 2021 @ 11:13am 
What if it had 2-3 uses and it cracked a bit after each use until it would break?
Shifrator 3 Jun, 2021 @ 12:44am 
:steamthumbsup::BErainbow::reheart:
super m 2 Jun, 2021 @ 4:58pm 
Yes
Socialista Bélico 2 Jun, 2021 @ 5:04am 
I think it would be better if it had 12 charges, because finding a room with enough things to make this item more useful is very rare.
BartjeB 2 Jun, 2021 @ 1:03am 
i would use it if it was a reusable. it's a good item but it's unlikely that you get so much stuff in one room.
ragman656 1 Jun, 2021 @ 8:03pm 
@Daft 1000 and a living armor
edin  [author] 1 Jun, 2021 @ 11:01am 
Update: Updated the sprite! PJJLegend made a few possible sprites for the item, and we think you might like this version a bit more.

Also ty everyone for the subscriptions, rating, and favorites!
Raiku 1 Jun, 2021 @ 3:00am 
oh i had a similar idea a few weeks ago: it was "the golden card" (unlocked after unlocking every card in the game), very rare card that turns everything in the room into gold, including rocks, poop, trinkets, bombs, keys, hearts, pills and enemies (rocks drops 1 penny when destroyed, tinted rocks turns into golden tinted rocks that act like a super tinted rock) but cannot make golden pennies or golden cards

but i see this mod makes the effect a little further to include some items, seems really cool.
Brutux 1 Jun, 2021 @ 2:37am 
the stone do be kinda ugly doe :reonion:
Daft@bandit 1 Jun, 2021 @ 1:15am 
How many lives did you sacrifice to create this mod?

P.S. Love your idea <3
edin  [author] 31 May, 2021 @ 7:24pm 
Thank you so much for letting me know, just pushed an update to fix it
solamon77 31 May, 2021 @ 7:21pm 
Aside from that, this is a really good idea.
solamon77 31 May, 2021 @ 7:21pm 
Hey brother, when I install your mod my starting room has all the transformable items in it and I start with a philosopher stone in my active item slot. Is this intentional? Because I don't want to start that way.
majo 31 May, 2021 @ 6:23pm 
really cool mod!
shimloaf 31 May, 2021 @ 5:58pm 
What a cool mod!
edin  [author] 31 May, 2021 @ 5:07pm 
Fair point. If anyone wants to disable(or even add) an item transformation they can easily delete it in the PStone.ItemConversions table near the top of the main.lua of the mod
The Conservatory 31 May, 2021 @ 5:02pm 
Good idea, although I think the transformation from Circle of Protection to Dad's Ring is kind of a stretch.
