📋 About This Mod
Knightly Armory Revamped by JackoO
New Version of my Armor mod for Skyrim Special Edition:
JackoOs Gothic Armory SE
*******************************************************************************
Hey guys, here's a quick workaround to find the stuff:
First of all, there are 2 general .esp's that can be used (only use one): The normal, and "cheat" version. In the cheat version a new chest is added to the Riverwood Inn. (beside the bar)
In the normal version, the chest is deleted, but a vendor called Ned is added in Riverwood. (search beside the smithy) He will sell a new type of ore "magic ore" and a color that is needed for some parts of the armor. He is only selling his stuff during the day.
chainmail and the paladin plate can be crafted using the Forge magic ore ignots can be crafted in the smelter (new smelter in riverwood) Red clothes can be crafted with the tanningrack The armors can also be upgraded.
If you want to reupload this mod, please ask me for permission first. I don't want to see the files reuploaded on another site - so you may only upload your .esp and give a link to this site for the ressources. Thanks, and have fun with it!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 3,065 endorsements and over 106k downloads—this mod is proven.
- Instant access: no quests, no grinding, just grab your armor and go.
- Classic knightly aesthetic that fits Skyrim's medieval vibe.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Free armor means it's a cheat mod, which can break game balance if you're into challenge.
For Skyrim players who want to look like a proper knight without the hassle of crafting or questing. Perfect for roleplayers who want to start as a seasoned warrior or for those who just want cool armor early. Skip if you prefer earning your gear or want lore-friendly balance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to grab the chest in the Sleeping Giant Inn right after you start—it's near the bar, so you can get your armor before heading to Bleak Falls Barrow.
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate; if manual, drop the files into your Data folder and enable the .esp in your load order.
- Since it's a cheat mod, consider pairing it with a difficulty mod to keep combat challenging.
