Helvianes Black Gear II

Nothing is for free, mage. - Janus Hassildor This mod features an unique combat system, a shop, 13 new NPCs, a quest with involving a large fort and offers help during the Oblivion Crisis. The mod is intended for high level players who have more money than a horse has hair and nothing to spend it on. It includes clothes, rings, amulets, armor, weapons, arrows, staves, spells, scrolls and poisons designed to work together. The mod also supports lower level players. Some hardcore players are using spells which do more than the usual damage at a fairly low cost. They are using elemental damage in combination with weakness to elemental damage, weakness to magic and drain health spells to accomplish this. You can read about these techniques here: Spell Making and Effective Custom Spells (at the UESP Wiki). Black Gear goes a bit further than that and extends these techniques to weapons, scrolls and poisons. In short: Every second hit with most Black Gear weapons does more damage than the first one. Using Black Gear can do double damage, quadruple damage and beyond. Requirements - Install variation 2 of: Initial Glow. - If you do not install this mod the enchanted armor and weapons will look horrible. - If you have previous versions installed then you can just install this version on top of it. - Black Gear requires both the latest Official and Unoffcial Oblivion Patches. - Optionally install the latest OBSE (Oblivion Script Extender). The mod won\'t crash without OBSE. However, for the best experience game you should install it. Do I need OBSE? If you want to get the best out of this mod then the answer is yes. Most parts of this mod run fine without OBSE, but defenders, most NPCs and some spells do require it, It won\'t slow down or crash your system and it won\'t eat lots of resources. In fact, OBSE is extremely fast, very stable and doesn\'t eat up much memory at all. Installation (upgrade from an earlier version) - Read the \"Known Issues\" section below. - Follow the installation instructions for the first time use (see below). - Defenders have been improved and several bugs have been fixed, but if you have more than one defender in your inventory before the upgrade then remove them from your inventory and add them again. - Read the History section.
