📋 About This Mod
This is an Arcane Warrior set that maintains that mage look through a set of robes that are still heavily defensive in nature to make up for the lack of armor you get by choosing robes over heavy armor. The armor set and weapons are both very earthy and primal in appearance with a custom look to make them stand out among the default gear. While restricted to Arcane Warriors, the set is available for both male and female characters. Contains: Robe - Dragonhide Robes Helmet - Dragonscale Helm Cowl - Dragonhide Cowl Gloves - Dragonhide Grips Boots - Dragonhide Treads Longsword - Spellstriker Dagger - Spellbinder Staff - Dragon\'s Spine **I\'ve done testing with my system and everything seems to be working fine, but please report any issues so I can address them. This set is a collaborative effort as the design for the male robes was based off a picture done by the talented QueenoftheCrows on Deviantart.com So I would encourage you to stop by and see the picture in her gallery that inspired the look - Hence Hope Shines Forth Enjoy! :D Feel free to submit screenshots of your hero rocking the look too! ===Versions=== =V2= -Redid code in entirety. Added cowl, gloves, boots and staff to set. -Recoding/Texturing fixed clipping issue and duplicate spawning problem. -Introduced custom icons for all items. =V1= -Initial version. -Some problems with duplicate spawning, graphic clipping. ===For Use in Awakenings=== To use this set in Awakenings, you must first load up a save in Origins and make sure that the items are either in your inventory or equipped on your hero before starting a new Awakenings game and importing the module for use. ===Installing=== If you have an old version of this mod, DELETE IT FIRST. Because of computer swapping, I was forced to remake the file in it\'s entirety. So go to your Addins and delete your \'aw_robes\' folder. Simply download the file in it\'s .dazip format, fire up the DAUpdater and let it do it\'s thing! ===Uninstalling=== Taking the item set out is easy enough - just delete the \'AWSet\'\' folder from your Addins and you\'re done.
