- Permissions and credits
Greetings, Ashen One.
If you've ever heard about how one can obtain the most powerful Spell Buff Chime in the game, you probably know why I created this mod.
Now, Yorshka, the Company Captain and Covenant leader of the Blades of the Darkmoon, upon you obtaining covenant ranks, will reward you with her Chime. Process made in consonance with dialogues and descriptions of the items.
Description:
Why:

First of all, let me be clear about the goal of this modification: it's not about the obtaining of the chime, but about keeping Yorshka safe and alive.
When I decided to play a Faith build, I started researching, having never played Faith build before. I prefer to play as Good Alignment character, mostly, Chaotic Good, and, after my research, I, personally, easily would choose to use Saint's Talisman (for pure FTH build) or Crystal Chime/Sunless Talisman (for FTH/INT build), and forget about Yorshka's Chime, because the price for it is, well, horrible - you need to slay the innocent (and cutest) creature in the game. I decided to create this mod, seeing that some prefer the obtaining of the powerful spell buff chime rather than sparing the life. With this mod, I want to give you the choice, to not harm the creature. Now, you are able to obtain the Yorshka's Chime as a Good Alignment character, without harming the innocent, if you'll decide to use it.

Blades of the Darkmoon Covenant Rank Rewards were changed, in consonance with dialogues and Lore. Covenant ranks are obtained by offering obtained Proof of Concord Kept items to Company Captain Yorshka.
Rank 1 - Yorshka's Chime (10 Proof of a Concord kept)
Rank 2 - Darkmoon Blade and Darkmoon Ring (30 Proof of a Concord kept)
Lore standpoint:

In the description of the Yorshka's Chime, we can read:
"A sacred chime belonging to Yorshka. Her brother [Dark Sun Gwyndolin], the former knight captain, presented her with this medium together with another gift: her name.
The ringing of the chime must have done much to soothe her loneliness."
Now, why would she give you her Chime?
Upon reaching covenant Rank 2, gives both Darkmoon Blade miracle and Darkmoon Ring .
"My Blade of the Darkmoon, thy deeds merit great worship.
As captain, 'tis my duty to honour knights of great accomplishment.
This is a wonder of the Darkmoon,
inherited from my brother for this very purpose.
Please, take this. Thou'rt most deserving of it.
As a shade of Father Gwyn and Sister Gwynevere,
Persevere in thy knightly duty,
hunting down the gods' would-be foes."
The Darkmoon Ring description tell us:
"Gwyndolin, also known as the Dark Sun, commands the Darkmoon Knights, and bestows this ring upon the best of them.".
Now one will receive this ring being the best of the Darkmoon Knights, the highest rank, it is. Darkmoon miracle requires a spell slot, therefore ring will be an aid, to be sure that one can use the miracle.
Upon dying, she will drop nothing valuable. You still will gain 3000 souls, if you will decide to slay Yorshka.
Keep in mind the goal of the mod. I am not saying that point of view on the Lore as I presented here is 100% correct, but if think logically, it can be correct and in total chime (yes, I said it) with dialogues and descriptions of the items.
You may think: "Maybe this is the point which FromSoftware tried to show, that it is your choice - either obtaining of power through the horrible deed or keeping yourself clean yet lacking the powerful artifact", and, I'll agree, indeed, it seems like it, but, again, since I can edit the reality of the game, I did so, and, it's not about the chime. I don't think that the chime is worth the price in original, I can easily use something other. But some people will do anything to obtain the artifact. Nothing wrong with this, but, if you like role-playing games and choose to play as a Good Alignment character, you will understand what I mean. Now, you have the choice.

1. Darkmoon Loyalty of the Only Knight of the Company rewarded.
"Then I place thee under the aegis,
and the power, of the Darkmoon.
Thou'rt now a Blade of the Darkmoon.
The only knight of our company."
"My Blade of the Darkmoon, thy deeds merit great worship.
As captain, 'tis my duty to honour knights of great accomplishment.
Please, it is thine, and not lightly given.
As a shade of Father Gwyn and Sister Gwynevere,
Persevere in thy knightly duty, hunting down the gods' would-be foes."
Indeed, as a Company Captain, she has "duty to honour knights of great accomplishment.". As you show the "great worship", she honours your deeds, by offering the weapon that will aid you, the only weapon she has, her sacred chime, to help you to "Persevere in thy knightly duty, hunting down the gods' would-be foes.". You are the only knight of her company.
"Please, it is thine, and not lightly given.". Indeed, not lightly given, as it should be, given only after you shown your loyalty and great worship by thy deeds.
2. The ringing of the chime must have done much to soothe her loneliness, but, Yorshka is not all alone anymore.
"The ringing of the chime must have done much to soothe her loneliness."
"... good Blade of the Darkmoon, welcome home."
Indeed, Yorshka is having you now, her loyal knight.
"Then I place thee under the aegis,
and the power, of the Darkmoon.
Thou'rt now a Blade of the Darkmoon.
The only knight of our company."

From technical standpoint, this mod can be safely used, without fearing of the ban, since it only rearranges items you will obtain in the original game, with a condition, if you are playing online: you will turn it on in offline mode, only when offering the obtained Proof of Concord Kept items to Company Captain Yorshka, when obtaining the Ranks in the Covenant.

Additional plugin: Aquamarine Dagger Rescaled For Sorcerers.

This is my personal adjustment for the Aquamarine Dagger. At first, I thought to make it a separate mod, but then decided to make it as an addition for this mod. This additional version of Yorshka's Chime For The Good Alignment Characters with this adjustment included in the archive.
A dagger fitted with aquamarine crystal.Engraved with a prayer in the old tongue to ward off incident. Perhaps it was a parting gift given to one sent off on great travels.Skill: Crystal Blade
Release magic for the aquamarine crystals, creating a fleeting blue crystal blade, lengthy enough to swing as a straight sword.
Now, adjusted to be a truly INT weapon, and, in consonance with the description.
It is a unique crystal weapon, with the skill which is literally a crystal magic wielded, therefore, scaling was changed:
D +1 B
C +2 A
C +3 A
C +4 A
C +5 A.
Now, passively regenerates FP as weapon infused with Simple crystal gem. Magic Defenses were altered to be true with "Engraved with a prayer in the old tongue to ward off incident.". Critical stat set to be 120, as it was the only dagger (not counting Hand Scythes) to not have it. Even wonky Scholar's Candlestick has 115. Mail Breaker, Sorcerer starting weapon, has 125 and thrusting movement set and blade shape equivalent to Aquamarine Dagger, awl-like, piercer.
Has the ability of the Scholar's Candlestick: "Boosts Sorceries damage by 10% across all upgrade levels, including Magic and Dark Sorceries.". Why:
1. At the point of obtaining the Aquamarine Dagger (The Ringed City DLC) you probably have Scholar's Candlestick dangling on side, being a Sorcerer. Now you can use the Aquamarine Dagger and look clean. Scholar's Candlestick is ugly looking, isn't it.
2. Such ability on a dagger that has no relation to INT, but to FTH, and requires 16 FTH, is not logical. On the Aquamarine dagger, on the other hand, it is quite in place.
Good alternative to Moonlight Greatsword, the only good unique Magic (INT) weapon in the original game. Moonlight Greatsword requires strength, Aquamarine Dagger requires dexterity.
Base damage is 67+49 (Regular, not upgraded, 60 INT), when +5, damage is 118+119 (+5, 60 INT, 15 DEX, INT A scaling), while original has 118+63 (+5, 60 INT, INT C scaling).
Use this plugin in offline mode, as it can cause the soft-ban, being a weapon edit.
