Miller Guild Items

New Version 1. 3

The ability to repair the Guild items has been restored and all of the buffs are back in place!

Game update 1. 9. 2 changed the way items are identified by repair kits and it broke the ability to repair the new armor types I had added (ones with buffs).  It took a while, but I figured out how to fix it.  As a bonus, while learning how to do that I figured out how to fix the game bug that would not allow horse items to be repaired with kits.  You can now use your cobbler/leather working kits to repair your broken horse items if your skill is high enough.

What is it?

This mod adds 10 new items to the game.   These will be the best stealth items in the game. (slightly better defense and conspicuous/visibility/noise than the generic items.)  Each item provides a buff when worn and the items are earned as quest rewards by doing the Thick as Thieves quests.

I was unhappy with the mismatched stealth set that I had cobbled together in the game.  I wanted something better.  I was highly inspired by the Midnight Armor Set (v1. 9 Compatible) mod by hankyspanky69boi.  I started off with that, started tweaking stuff, changing items and colors.  Eventually all of the items were unique to the set.

My reason for sharing the mod with you is that I found a way to add the items as quest rewards to what was otherwise very unrewarding quests.  I also found a way to add buffs to the items, which make then more interesting than normal armor.

The Items Stats

In general the items are all about 20% more durable, with 10% better defense and 10% less noise/visibility than their best counterparts.  All of the clothing items are considered 'leather' and repairable with an armor kit instead of a tailor kit.

The Item Buffs

It is not my intention to make a super suit.  These will help you when you need to 'borrow something and replace it with nothing', but you will still need your plate suit when you are facing a big challenge.  You will need to have the items equipped to get their buff.  You will be able to see the buff under the 'buff' tab in the character menu.

Guild Tools - (Equipped in the neck slot) - These will make all locks 20% easier.  You will still need lock picks.

Guild Ring - This ring will make your reputation fall 50% slower from bad deeds.

Guild Bracers - (with attached elbow guard) - Increases your bow skill by +3

Guild Boots - You can run 10% faster.

Guild Gloves - Increases your pick pocketing skill by +3

Guild Hood - You will be 10% less conspicuous.  The quest will award you two hoods.  Guild Hood (up) This hood is 'dynamic', meaning that it will be up unless you equip a helmet, and Guild Hood (down) This hood is always down for when you want to see your hair.

Guild Cuisses -  A. K. A. leg armor.  These will give you a 20% bonus to dodging.

Guild Collar - (will attached pauldrons) - These will reduce your stamina consumption by 5% and increase your attack speed by 5%.

Guild Shirt - (with attached pouches) - Increases carry weight by +15 and 5% bonus defense.

Guild Pants - 5% bonus to stealth and 5% bonus defense.

How To Obtain

All of these items are added as quest rewards from the 9 miller quests (Peshek, Simon and Woyzeck).  Each quest you do will get an item or two in addition to the original few groshen.

How to Install

Download.  Unzip.  Put the 'Miller Guild Items' folder into your Mods folder.  If you are using Vortex or any other non manual download, make sure your game path is Mods/Miller Guild Items 1. 3/(data and localization folders).  Some of the auto install programs are changing the paths to strange things.
