How to Build a Class Mod for Darkest Dungeon: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you eager to create a new class mod for Darkest Dungeon, but don't know where to start? Look no further! In this article, we'll take it one step at a time and guide you through the process of building your own custom class.

Let's say you want to make a brand-new class called the Wizard. The first thing you need is an existing class to use as your skeleton or animation base. This will give you a starting point for all the essential elements, such as movement animations, attack sequences, and more.

To find this template class, navigate to the heroes directory within Darkest Dungeon's main folder (DarkestDungeon/heroes). You'll see various folders representing different classes in the game, each with its own unique characteristics. For example, you might choose the Occultist as your base class.

Once you've selected a suitable base class, head into that specific folder and make a copy of one of the existing skin folders (in this case, occultista). This is where things start to get interesting! The new folder will serve as the foundation for your custom Wizard class mod.
