There are just a few steps to get it running correct.

We have to make sure that players dont see old UI Buttons anymore.

Item Perks
Quote"Send the icon to access the ItemPerks menu?" - set to false, we dont need it
Combined Inventory-like View
When you open the view the first time, you will notice that it looks similar to the players inventory.
One of the main reasons why i implemented that plugin was exactly this feature.
You can inspect each item and see additional informations in one place.
Player Buff Panel
Ever wanted to know all Epic buffs and Perk buffs affecting you?
Just check out the full list on the left side.
For Perks you can check out descriptions when clicking the info icon (i).
Selected Items
When you select items, you get a (short) overview of its buffs.
For Perk Items it will show a list of all perks and rolls in the description section.
When selecting Epic Items, a new Panel will be shown.
It contains:
- the name of the epic buff
- a description
- its upgrade costs
- the set piece bonus
- the tier ranges
- the chances to hit a certain tier
Quite some information right? 
Item Actions
Following the mission, each possible action is right where you would expect them.
Add-, remove- or randomize perks actions are shown in the Action Panel.
For Epic Items you will find add- and recycle-action.
Items other than Epic and Perk Items are NOT supported and most likely never will be supported.
Perk Crafting
This plugin supports some more advanced crafting options for perk items. Most actions can run in 2 different modes, weighted and unweighted.
Unweighted Crafting for Perks
Players have to select 1 Kit when modifying items.
The kit defines the perk selected for the desired action and will be consumed.
Weighted Crafting for Perks
Players can select up to 3 Kits when modifying items.
Each kit will add a defined value to the mod weight and increases the chance for the player to hit that mod.
The additional mod weight value is based on the configuration for the desired action.
You can make the selection of 1 kit mandatory for all weighted actions.
Add Perks
(For the basics) players can add perks to existing items.
By default the player selects a kit and adds the mod.
For more advanced usage, you can enabled weighted crafting.
This will pick a random mod.
Players can add Kits to that process to increase the chances of picking the desired mod.
Depending on the configuration, you can enable perk crafting for epic items and "white" items.
Crafting of perks respects your defined white- and blacklist from Item Perks.
You can define additional costs for this process in the configuration.
Remove Perks
Players can remove existing perks from an item.
By default the player selects a kit and removed the mod.
Weighted Crafting will pick a random mod.
Players can add Kits to that process to increase the chances of picking the desired mod.
You can define additional costs for this process in the configuration.
If configured, players can remove ALL mods from an item.
Randomize Perk Values
Players can reroll the values of perks on an item to (maybe) get better values.
You can enable lucky rolls in the configuration.
The player will be able to select 1 Kit for each mod to roll twice.
The better roll will be used for the item.
Commands

nothing else needed 
Permissions
You have several options to customize the user experience by giving different permissions.
A good example is the permissions to make kit slots available for weighted crafting.
Without perk.kit2 or perk.kit3 set, the player can only use 1 kit.
You can then give perk.kit2 permission when the player reaches level 20 with skill tree.
Quoteperk.add - the player can add perks to an item
perk.remove - the player can remove perks from an item
perk.randomize - the player can randomize perk values
perk.bypass_weighting - the player can use direct crafting for perks
perk.kit2 - the player has 2 kit slots for weighted crafting
perk.kit3 - the player has 3 kit slots for weighted crafting
named.unveil - the player can unveil perks on a named item
epic.salvage - the player can salvage epic items from menu
epic.enhance - the player can add epic buffs to items
free - the player can modify all items for free
settings.hide_button - reserved for settings menu (do not grant this to groups!)
Configurations
The plugin is reading configurations from Epic Loot and Item Perk when starting.
All weights, chances and mod ranges are used from this configs.
If you change anything on that configurations, you should restart the plugin.
Crafting Costs
Epic Loot
For Epic Loot, the defined upgrade costs are taken from Epic Loot configuration. You dont have to change anything.
Item Perks
Because of the advanced crafting options for perks, this plugin will have its own cost configurations.
You can add default additional costs for each craft type.
Simply set the values for "Item to use when ... a perk".
The default costs is set to use scrap.
Additional costs can be increased for each kit used during crafting process depending on the perk of the kit.
Translations
You will find out when looking into the language file, that this plugin barely uses translations.
One of the reasons is, that it reuses translations from Epic Loot and Item Perks.
If you search for mod descriptions or mod names, please check out the language files of those plugins.
Troubleshooting
If you find issues during item generation processes, payments and views, its most likely caused by this plugin.
Any functionality of buff effects remain part of the original plugin.
If there is a Buff missing, you can simply check out the code and add it to the enums.
