Wartales Save Editor Guide
It is important to note that Wartales does not have a centralized, publicly maintained "Save Editor" tool (like a generic .exe with a GUI) in the same way that games like * Stardew Valley* or Subnautica do.
Because Wartales saves data in a specific format (often serialized JSON or proprietary structures), most players edit their saves manually using text editors or generic file editors. wartales save editor

B. Memory Editing (The Standard Approach)
This is the primary method used by the community to achieve "save editing" results. Players use external software to scan the game's RAM for specific values (Gold, Knowledge, Companions, Item Quantities) and change them in real-time. Cheat Engine:
Primary Tools:
- Cheat Engine:
- This is the most versatile tool. Users can search for their current gold amount, spend a small amount, search again, and isolate the memory address.
- Cheat Tables (.CT files): Experienced modders create "Tables" that automate this process. These tables contain scripts to locate variables like Health, Valor Points, or Item Durability instantly.
- WeMod / Fling Trainers:
- These are user-friendly, standalone applications that run alongside the game.
- They offer pre-baked cheats (Infinite Health, Easy Kills, Gold Multipliers).
- Note: These tools edit memory, not the save file directly, but the changes persist when the player saves the game.
A. Manual File Editing (Not Recommended)
Wartales saves are located typically in the user's AppData folder. While some early versions of the game used readable formats, current versions utilize binary serialization or compression that makes manual text editing difficult.
- Method: Requires a Hex Editor (e.g., HxD) and knowledge of data types (float, int32).
- Difficulty: Very High. Changing a value for gold (e.g., from 500 to 5000) requires finding the hex string and replacing it with a string of the exact same byte length, otherwise the save file will corrupt and fail to load.
1) Locate your save files
- Windows default:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Shiro Games\Wartales\Saves
- Steam Cloud or custom paths may differ; check AppData LocalLow for "Shiro Games" if not found.
