Hey guys. Been messing around with the Nioh 2 save in advanced mode and have discoverd most of the values for the equipment modifiers (ie Item Drop Rate vs. Yokai, Imbue Fire, Unlimited Ninjutsu, etc.) I've posted a link to a Google sheet below with most of my research. There is a step by step tutorial below. I'll try to make it more clear as time goes on, but for now, this is it.
Here is what a basic effect looks like in Advanced moe:
GENERAL FORMAT OF ITEM EFFECTS[/u]
aa aa aa aa bb bb bb bb xx xx cc xx
LIFE +44 EXAMPLE:
D8 BF 00 00 2C 00 00 00 2F 73 02 00
EMPTY EFFECTS SLOT SET:
FF FF FF FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
UNLIMITED NINJUTSU 100%:
28 02 00 00 E8 03 00 00 2F 73 02 00
For example, if you have a piece of armor that has Life +44, you would see the following in the code:
D8 BF 00 00 2C 00 00 00 2F 73 02 00
The aa part is [D8BF0000] which is "Life"
The bb part is [2C000000] which is 44 in decimal. You can set this to ridiculously high values.
The xc part is [2F730200] which doesn't seem to matter except the '02' digit controls icon.
So what you would do is try to find that in your hex editor of choice, then edit the effect type to what you want, and change the value to something appropriate. With these codes you can easily give yourself so much life, ki, and toughness that you're essentially invincible. You can also have unlimited bullets, ninjutsu, and onmyo magic. You can even add effects to the blank slots by replacing the empty data set with the code. The footer section [xx xx cc xx] is mostly irrelevant, but be sure to make cc=02.
Also note that some item effects are percentages with a single decimal point, so 100% is 100.0% in the game, and this is '1000' as far as the data is concerned, and 1000 in hex is 03E8, and in Little Endian for our purposes its E803. So to make a percentage based effect (ulimited magic, unlimited projectiles, etc.) always trigger, you make it 1000... 100.0%, or E803. I hope that makes sense.
If you've any experience at all in hex editing this sheet should be plenty to get you started. As a bonus, it seems the armor, weapon, and yokai effect IDs work on any type of equipment, although it would be useless to imbue some gloves with fire.
Here is a link to the Google Sheet listing what I've found so far:

One save coming right up: https://drive.google.com/open?id=17byC__z9l0hjs5esF7oUtxWWVi5-3P-_
In save wizard, search for 3C8F (equipment drop rate) in advanced mode. That should help in locating the edited soul core (Yatsu-no-kami)
To make this clear, this save is for v1.07
Obviously people will need to resign to their respective region.
As for the how, it really is as simple as following the already available guide here on the site. The catch is that you CANNOT unequip the soul core you have edited, change guardian spirits, or enter twilight missions without the values resetting.
For this reason, I recommend editing Yatsu-no-kami's stats, it's powerful enough to carry you to endgame without bonus stats, so no reason to unequip it.
Additionally, dying will reset the values, but only temporarily until you retrieve your grave. Have not tested if dying twice resets values permanently.
Some other odd quirks:
When viewing the yokai under the "attune soul core" menu, the values will display as if they are unedited, this is normal.
Make sure to LOCK the desired soul core for editing as when performing resting rites there is a chance that the values will reset on their own (no idea why, but locking seems to have prevented this so far for me).
Dojos may also cause a value reset, both beginner and intermediate take away your guardian spirit and soul cores.
Have fun guys! And let me know if there is any issues, I'm by no stretch of the imagination experienced on this topic, but I'll do what I can.

I can confirm that this does work. For the duplicate values, you wanna look for the Hex of the soul cores that you've currently equipped to your character (the one i used was Mitsume Yazura 4C91). For all the changes you make to whatever sole core you've equipped (just to make things easy i did only one sole core) you need to make on all other duplicate values. The duplicates you'll be looking for are the ones that look like the format of the example in the guide, HOWEVER they'll appear as if shifted around so just look for the values like: 4C91 4C91.
Sorry if that sounds confusing. I'll try to get screenshots later to help.

Yep! Just import that file with save wizard over your own save and transfer to your ps4 to use.

Can anyone help me? I am able to hex edit all the weapons and skills but the values come up differently in game. I converted the max value ex. 500 to 1F4 which in hex would be F401 in place of the value. In game it will be like 10% instead of the 50%, and I am using the hex sheet provided and made the weapon legit as possible. Still get different values. Anyone know why its like this? Am I doing it wrong?
And also sometimes my save would revert back to like a couple saves back and then I cant save anymore, it will always start back at the save I lasted used Save Wizard?

3 - One thing i've noticed is that the soul core that is loaded into your guardian spirit will keep its values, but if you remove it and put it back again you lose them. So you only edit a soul core that is already loaded into a guardian spirit?

1. Haven't updated to v1.08 yet, I would say just stay on whatever version you are right now to play it safe, not the most helpful answer I know.
2. You edit the v1.07 save directly, coming from a previous save most likely will just undo all the edits made beforehand (unless you already edited attuned cores?).
3. Yeah it's rather annoying, even just swapping between guardian spirits using r1 + l2 mid-mission will reset the values, and dying with two guardian spirits attuned may also reset the values. For these reasons, only attune ONE guardian spirit when using this method. Also, yes, you're only editing the soul cores already attuned to your main guardian spirit.
