Staves by Stephy

Masterwork Witch Staff

  • []Skull is darkened and yellowed to give a more realistic appearance.
Seer Staff
  • []Skull is darkened and yellowed to give a more realistic appearance.  []Blue stones in eyes are black/brown.
Masterwork Mortalitasi Staff
  • []Skull and tentacles(?) are darkened and yellowed to give a more realistic appearance.
Battlemage Staff
  • []Recoloured from blue to black.
Vigorous Staff
  • []Violet - Recolours the wolves on the Vigorous Staff and any staves that share its model and textures. []Red - Recolours the wolves and darkens the wood on the Vigorous Staff and any staves that share its model and textures.
Tyrdda Recolour
  • []Choose only one of the eight colours.
Staff of Fen'Harel
  • []Recolours the wolves on the Vigorous Staff to look like the wolf form of Fen'Harel. (Give it to Solas. I'm sure he'll just love it.)
Misc. Files Archmage Staff Tint Makes the Archmage Staff (AKA Staff of Parthalan) orb and ribbon tintable with cloth as well as it’s matching grip. Requires Cheat Engine to utilise. File includes ReadMe with links to a Cheat Engine tutorial, the latest Cheat Table (P7), a guide on how to utilise this file, and item codes for the three matching pieces of the staff. If more than one cloth type is used in crafting only one will be used in the tint.

Notes:

  • []All the files effect any other staves that share the textures with the staves I've listed. []My "Aged Masterwork Witch Staff" and "Aged and Blackened Staves" files conflict with Staff of Parthalan. You can use both if you place my file under Staff of Parthalan when merging but you will lose the retexture for the the Notched Staff Grip from Staff of Parthalan but the recolour for the Archmage Staff is retained. []"Archmage Staff Tint" is compatible with all my other stave retextures. Not compatible with Staff of Parthalan.
  • Please do not ask me for help with Cheat Engine.

⚠️ Cons

  • Check the mod's posts or comments for any compatibility notes with popular stave mods.
