📋 About This Mod
This mod idea was from fiokokas, who commission part of it and add ideas for stats and look and many of the flavor texts. So a big thanks!
Description
New Mercenary set with unique visuals and unique weapons, freely base on Landsknecht and Zweihanders. Custom armor visuals and customization are for female body 1 and male body 2 (Elves, Drow, Half-Elves, Humans, Tieflings). Rest of the body/races will use base game visuals. Obviously, weapons will work for anyone.
There's three rarity tiers (uncommon, very rare and legendary) for armor and all tiers for weapons.
It's a full set; with armor, hat, gloves, boots and cloak (gear). Also camp clothes (pretty much Astarion's EA doublet with fitting pants ). (Uncommon don't have cloak)
The whole armor set can be dye.
Location
Armor can be loot on the world. Each armor set comes in its own chest and have one of the weapons with it and a camp clothes set:
-Rookie Mercenary set and Zweihander (Uncommon): Found inside a Heavy Chest in the cellar behind the windmill in the Blighted Village. Same one with The Speedy Lightfeet.
-Obnoxious Mercenary set and Sellsword (Very Rare): Found inside a Treasure Crate after passing a Survival check on the Rosymorn Monastery Trail.
-Haunted Vanguard set and Devilbreaker (Legendary): Can be looted from Yurgir.
The rest of the Zweihanders can be looted from:
-Rusty Zweihander (Common): Locked crate close to Astarion encounter on the beach.
-Mastercraft Zweihander (Rare): Found in a locked chest in the cave where survivors of the attacked caravan are fending off a pack of gnolls. Same one with the Reason's Grasp.
-Blessed Sword (Very Rare): Rewarded by Alfira for successfully completing Rescue the Tieflings.
As always you can use Elven Weaponry - Tutorial Chest if you want the items ASAP.
Customization
Female body armors can be change from pants to shorts. You can change between then using the Elven Smithing Tool (not included, separate download. Follow the link). Just use the tool on a item to change visuals back and forth.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community traction: 303 endorsements and 42k downloads show it's got a following.
- Dyeable armor means you can customize your look without extra mods.
- Immersive acquisition adds a layer of roleplay to getting the gear.
⚠️ Cons
- Only supports female body 1 and male body 2 — if you use other body types, you're out of luck.
- Last updated in October 2024 — could be outdated if the game has had major patches since.
For players who love historical-inspired gear and want a fresh look for their human or half-elf characters. If you're into dyeable armor and immersive loot, this is a nice addition. Skip if you use custom body mods or want gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic and equipment-focused.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager or manual installation — the description doesn't say, so look for a readme or forum post.
- Since it's dyeable, make sure you have the right materials or crafting station to apply dyes.
- If you're using a custom body mod, this might not work — test on a spare character first.
