📋 About This Mod
Relic Hunter
Note: This is a re-work of Waresified Urns with the additions of 30+ quests and a new class.
You can be an avid tomb raider looking for relics and artifacts to use or to sell.
You can be respectful of the Dunmer traditions and only retrieve relics at the descendants' behest.
Features
Relic Hunter is a role-playing and gameplay enhancement mod centered around Vvardenfell’s ancestral tombs.
1. Unique Urns in 90+ Tombs
Defeat the guardian to claim a family heirloom. You can return it to a descendant for a reward, sell it for profit, or keep it for yourself.
Open the urn to claim their treasures and to summon guardians (level 5–15), the guardians also scale in difficulty with your character (scripted)
2. Heirloom Quests
- Choose your stance on tomb raiding via the "Ancestral Tombs" dialogue topic to enable the quests or not.
Note: The unique urns and their guardians are enabled regardless.
- NPCs will offer quests based on your choice. This adds a lore-friendly way to enter tombs at the descendants' behest.
- Return heirlooms for gold—reward scales from 1× to 2× heirloom value depending on your Mercantile skill.
3. Immersive Guardians
NPCs claim spirits guard the tombs' treasures—and now they do!
The Guardians' bodies go poof, leaving only the heirloom.
4. Regular urns loot overhaul
The urns' loot integrates seamlessly with Wares leveled lists, so the items you find can vary depending on your modlist. Accessories might be vanilla, or they might come from Tamriel_Data, OAAB, or any other Wares-aware mods you have installed.
