Remaster question

[Lord Mhoram]

So I am finally coming back to Pathfinder, and just starting 2E for the first time. I read up on the remasters, so I just want to make sure I have it all straight before I buy the new books.

Game-mastery Guide
Core Rulebook
Advanced Players Guide
Bestiary 1

are being replaced by the GM Core, Player Core 1 & 2, and Monster Core 1.
Rage of the Elements is written to the remastered rules.

The leaves Secrets of Magic, Guns and Gears, Book of the Dead, and Dark Archive as pre Remastered books.

Questions
1) Is this correct?
2) are any of the non-remaster books being rewritten to the remastered style?

Your understanding is correct.

At this time, we are not expecting Remastered versions of the other books you listed. It isn't impossible, but it is unlikely to be any time soon. (Unless you buy *all* of them, and then they will announce it the day after they arrive. :) )

There are full remaster Erratas for the non-Remaster books, so all of that content is perfectly playable in a Remaster game. The actual changes are pretty small.

Archives of Nethys also has all the rules listed for both versions, with things clearly marked as to which are which.

Treasure Vault is another book written before the Remaster, in case that is significant.

Pretty much yes.

There is nothing on the schedule.

I will note that these non-remastered books are still mostly compatible and completely viable. The conversion needed is generally terminology (such as renaming Spell Level to Spell Rank or applying the Off-Guard condition instead of Flat-Footed).

[Lord Mhoram]

Yeah I know there is some errata, but mostly it was De-OGLing the game after Wizards Bruhaha. I had forgotten about the Treasure vault, but as I understand it, items didn't have much done to them.

I was primarily looking at rules rather than setting stuff.

I've been reading the Archives for getting to know the new rules. I loved first edition (I used a lot of third party stuff, Dreamscarred, SPheres, Akashic stuff, so I was sorta hesitant to change. I was also playing another D&D offshoot for that kind of game (Level Up). But I love Pathfinder, and the remaster seemed a good time to give 2E a try. It looks great reading it. I tend to like to wait a few years for game to be out, I like lots of options.

Thanks for letting me know I had is sussed.

Yeah, I was mostly concerned with what order to get the stuff.

I can't think of any Remaster changes that really affect items. There miiiiiiiiight be a reference to spell schools with one item in there, and that you'd need to rework, but if there is it's not significant for me to remember it. (There is an item that is spell scool-focused in Impossible Lands, for example, the Cube of Force.)

In Treasure vault there are about 13 items which have problems due to remaster (mostly spell schools I suppose) and for 8 of them PFS couldn't make a ruling and forbade them. PFS guide
