================================================================ Aetherium Armor and Weapons Compilation - REQUIRES DAWNGUARD ================================================================
YSkH4XHQsvY
UPDATE 24th of January 2013
I have made a few major changes, for one, there are no longer "aetherial weapons", these are now power -weapons. Second, the Power Armor enchantments have been changed so that each armor piece has a unique enchantments that is not found on any other item (as far as I know). Third, aetherium material type counts now as a bonus against daedra and sceptral beings and dwemer machines.
The New special enchantmesnts are:
Armor: Provides a Cloaking Device -Power ability that let's you turn invisible, move silently and improves sneak, once per day for 180 sec. like a standard power.
Gauntlets: All weapon attack speed is increased by 20%
Helmet: Allows you to trigger Night Vision for 60 sec. unlimited number of times per day.
Boots: Movement Speed is increased by 20%.
Formerly known as the "Dwarven Dwemer Power Armor". This Mod adds the Aetherial Armor and Weapons to Skyrim, and Blank versions that are just called Aetherium. I have replaced the "Dwarven Dwemer Power Armor" with this one, you can still however download the old version of that in the files section.
1# Aetherium Armor & Weapons adds the main things as fallows: "Aetherium Ore" chunks, that can be found in dwemer storehouses or storehouse like areas. You can aslo find them in blackreach, inside a few buildings and at Raldbthar deep market. Also, the new version will include more of the ore.
2# Aetherium weapons and armor armor. Thes are versions that are not enchanted. The Aetherial Weapons are pre-enchanted and can not be enchanted or broken through disenchanting. Also, if you have completed the quest; "Unfathomable Depths", you will gain access to the Dwarven Power Armor recipes and the Aetherial Bolt Launcher.
3# You will have to do the crafting of all aetherial items in the aetherial forge that you will find in one of the Dawnguard's side quests, which can be started by reading the book called "Aetherium Wars". Also, the forge is the only place where you can smelt down the aetherium ore into ingots.
DO NOT USE The Dwarven Power Armor mod WITH this one, use only the AetheriumSwordsnArmor.esp and the included files. The Dwarven power armor is old version that was made for games that did not use Dawnguard DLC. I will propably not update the DwarvenPowerArmor -mod anymore, only the Aetherial Armor And Weapons mod for now on.
