Unidentified Armor

The Overpowered Technology mod adds some additional drops to the Loot Tables of all hostile mobs. These will drop only if 2 conditions are met. First of all, a player must be the one that kills the mob, and even then, there is only a 1 in 100 chance the mob will drop an unidentified armor.

If you're playing with the Baubles or Curios mods, then there's also a very rare change that a hostile mob will drop an unidentified ring.

You can change which mobs are eligible for these custom drops by editting the configuration file.

Identifier

You cannot use unidentified armor until it has been identified with the Identifier machine. Once identified the armor will get one or more enchantments.

Required Energy: 8,000
