Legendary Armors - DeserterX Collection

Updates: Added compatibility patches for users who want to use both this and my Legendary Armors Bikini mod.

Why I made this mod

I love custom armor mods, but I hate consoling them in, or going to find them in that chest, or crafting them when their stats don't fit the requirements. I want them to fit into my game. Well now they do.

The result is similar to Immersive Armors, but for female characters.

This mod takes all 16 of nsk13's (DeserterX) armors and fully adds them into the game world. Find them in loot, buy them, or craft them when you hit the required level.

Description

Belethor in Whiterun has made some new exotic contacts who have given him an exciting new line of female  armors. Nobody else has them, so you'll have to put up with his antics and prices. What he doesn't want you to know is that these armors have started cropping up in some highly unlikely places, in ancient chests and deep dungeons.

Detailed Description

The mod is best used on a fresh play through.

You'll start the game with a vanilla armor as normal.  Head to Belethor's shop (or Ysolda if Belethor is dead) in Whiterun to buy the crafting manual for your first set (unless you're doing heavy armor). If you're focusing on heavy armor, you'll need to wait till level 7 to get Ancient Draugr. You should have very little trouble crafting the first set with items and money you'll already have at the start of the game. Once crafted, start adventuring, and don't be surprised if you find pieces of the armors as you adventure and level up.

Belethor will stock the crafting manuals and a random selection of armors determined by your player level. By level 10 you'll be able to buy the the next armor manual. This one will be a little harder to craft and the manual will cost a bit more.

This pattern will continue, with each manual being stocked by Belethor three levels before you begin finding the pieces. Each manual will be a bit more expensive, and bit harder to craft. The last set (at level 45) will have a manual with a base cost of 1600 gold, will appear at level 45, and will require some difficult crafting materials.

There you have it. Sixteen spectacular armor sets with many pieces each you can play through instead of the ugly vanilla sets. You now get a new armor set dropping every 7 levels instead of 10-15 levels in vanilla and they're actually exciting to get. The stats of each complete set ought be just slightly better than wearing the vanill
