📋 About This Mod

Patch for the Armory of the Dragon Cult mod for those having trouble with the gear not appearing. Also fixes confusion about the Miraak set not being upgradable.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This patch for Armory of the Dragon Cult adds chests near dragon priests with the intended items, bypassing SPID distribution issues. The mod is now deprecated because SPID's death event fix makes it unnecessary, but it remains for those who want the chests. 16 endorsements, last updated April 2026.

✨ Key Features

Adds chests containing the intended armor items near each dragon priest, bypassing SPID distribution.
Fixes the confusion about Miraak set pieces not being available to craft.
Deprecated: no longer needed after SPID update fixed the death event issue.
Small patch that does not rely on SPID.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solves a real problem: if the original mod's armor doesn't show up after killing priests, this patch delivers the goods via chests.
  • No SPID dependency means it's a straightforward drop-in fix for those affected.
  • Tiny mod with a focused purpose—16 endorsements but 9k downloads show it got attention.

⚠️ Cons

  • Deprecated—you're installing a fix for a bug that's already been patched by SPID's update.
  • Only useful if you specifically want the chests; otherwise it's redundant.
  • Compatibility risk: since it's deprecated, it may not be maintained for future Skyrim updates or other mods.
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who installed Armory of the Dragon Cult and found the priest robes missing due to SPID issues, and who want a simple chest-based solution. Also for those who prefer chests over automatic distribution. Skip if you've updated SPID and the original mod works fine.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this is a patch, load it after Armory of the Dragon Cult in your mod manager to ensure it overwrites correctly.
  • If you're using the latest SPID, you can skip this mod entirely—the original mod should work now.
  • Check the chests near each dragon priest's location after killing them; they should contain the intended armor pieces.
