📋 About This Mod
Moonward Mage
A port of Zael's Moonward Mage set from FFXIV
Replaces the Astrologian starter set which can be bought from the nomadic merchant at the liurnia lake shore grace.
All credit for the model goes to Zael, you can check out his original content here: https://www.xivmodarchive.com/user/17725
Cloth physics are currently not moddable, so the cape will be fairly rigid ingame.
The model might show up without textures during character creation and
cutscenes, I hope this will be fixed in future versions of ModEngine.
The skin color does not change with your character, I use R:255 G:184 B:148 to match up the face with the body
How to install
NEVER RUN THE GAME ONLINE WITH MODS
You can either (recommended):
- Use the ModEngine2 Preview for Elden Ring (Download)
- Extract ModEngine2 anywhere and extract the mod zip into the /mod folder in ModEngine2
- Run the game via launchmod_eldenring.bat
- Unpack the game using UXM (which can be downloaded from the souls modding discord ?ServerName? )
- Extract the zip into the game directory (you should get an overwrite prompt)
- Run the game without EAC

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing (561 endorsements) — people clearly like this port.
- High download count (13,925) shows real demand for FFXIV gear in Skyrim.
- Direct port of a popular FFXIV set — if you're a fan, this is a faithful recreation.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2022 — might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or AE.
- Requires the Astrologian Set as a base — you'll need to grab that mod separately.
For Skyrim players who love Final Fantasy XIV and want to bring that iconic Moonward Mage look into their game. Also for cosplay-minded players who enjoy collecting armour sets. Skip if you're not into FFXIV or want gameplay-altering armour — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Astrologian Set mod installed first, since this replaces its textures.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting files manually.
- Check the mod's posts section for any user-reported compatibility patches or fixes.
