Has anyone been able to actually mod this game with a hotbar mod? Like that let you keybind the hot bar to allow you to use the numbers 1-9 and other keybinds so you can actually play it like an mmo?

I purchased and installed it but I can't tell if the DLC is working. The outfits are in the store but I don't know how to tell if the story DLC is there.

I've had no issues until I got to the world with all the water and waterfalls. I've crashed and had to ctrl alt del to initiate a restart to recover my PC and force the game to close about 7 times now. I managed to get through the 3rd area by sticking to the far east side of the map and hugging the wall but it's kind of silly that they didn't test the stability of this world before releasing the game and never fixed it, it's just too much for the game to handle. It's in the wide open areas like the 3rd are...

Is there a way to increase item drop rates from mobs OTHER than boon potions Any gear or weapons

Is it the same here? Anything extra? I just curious.
