Rift WizardArchipelago randomizer mod

Compatibility notes

• This is the first Rift Wizard, not Rift Wizard 2. The maintained setup explicitly targets Windows Steam. Linux Archipelago host binaries attached to the release do not establish Linux game-mod compatibility.
• Install the 1.3.1 APWorld and the separate 1.3.0 ArchipelagoMod, plus AAA_Loader. The world release entry retains a 2023 publication date, while its current world asset and the updated companion were uploaded in April 2025. Check the actual files rather than assuming the release date is the asset-build date.
• The update targets Archipelago 0.6.1 or later. Older game-mod versions can crash at startup with the newer client. Keep the reviewed world and companion together; do not replace only one with an old package.
• Point riftwizard_options.root_directory at the nested RiftWizard directory containing RiftWizard.exe, not its parent Steam library folder. Put ArchipelagoMod under mods and AAA_Loader.py inside mods/AAA_Loader, preserving those exact folder names.
• Connect Riftwizard Client to the room and slot before launching the game. The mod waits on the client's local connection settings and shows a blocking message while they are absent. Playing disconnected is not a supported fallback.
• Use the same save and slot when continuing. The bridge separates data using the slot's generated identifier, but shares one active settings file and game installation; do not run multiple clients against it or switch rooms while the game remains open.
• Back up saves and the mod's AP data before changing campaigns. /clearcache deliberately purges cached seed data and requires restarting the client; it is not a harmless first troubleshooting step for a run you want to keep.
• The mod replaces core game functions and disables Steam statistics/achievement submission hooks. Compatibility with additional gameplay mods is not guaranteed despite the guide's general compatibility note.
• A generous mana setting does not guarantee an easy or balanced run: procedural floors, spell choices and player skill still matter. Public independent reports are limited and Panludia has not independently completed the current package.
