This is a remake version from the Dragon Priests Armor by Backsteppo
So why remake what has already been done? I have been waiting a long time for Backsteppo to make new versions of his mod, that the itens match in type of armor. So i went into the creation kit and start making it by myself.
This mod meant to be an upgrade of an old mod, making Dragon Priest Armors for mages in each of the Skyrim armors types, cloth, light and heavy. Always paying attention to the lore and role playing of the Skyrim universe.
All cloth itens are craftable in the tailor hack in the section Dragon, and for the cloth the Dragonsmith perk is not required. All heavy and light itens are craftable at smithing in the dragon section, dragon smithing perk is required. All sets have different status, value and material list and are circlet friendly, at least this is an mage armor doesn't it? Look at the pictures for further status reference.
There are both genders available, male and female (Vanilla, CBBE, UNP).
PROJECT STATUS: - Finishing model Dragon Priest Heavy Armor Male_0. - Exclusive textures will be made by CaBaL120 creator of Bornagain skyrim steel armor and Bornagain skyrim iron and banded armors
