📋 About This Mod

Baited - A Fishing Artifact Overhaul

Baited aims to overhaul the 10 Unique Artifacts by CC Fishing to make them more interesting and balanced.

Items from the Museum of Artifacts in Mournhold have mysteriously begun showing up in the watery depths of Skyrim.

Fang of Haynekhtnamet: Deals 30 Shock damage to Health and Magicka. Has a 50% chance to deal double Shock damage to Health and Magicka.

Denstagmer's Ring: Your Fire, Frost, and Shock Resistance are increased by 25%.

Mentor's Ring: Your Magicka is increased by 100.

Ring of Khajiit: You are 25% better at sneaking, lockpicking, and pickpocketing.

Ring of Phynaster: Your Magic, Poison, and Shock Resistance are increased by 25%.

Ring of Surroundings: You are 25% better at sneaking and deal 25% more damage with sneak attacks and spells.

Ring of the Wind: Your Movement and Attack Speed are increased by 10%.

Vampiric Ring: While exposed to sunlight as a Vampire, your Health, Magicka, and Stamina Regeneration are increased by 100%.

Viriya's Charm: Your Movement Speed is increased by 10% and you can breathe underwater.

Warlock's Ring: Your Restoration spells are 25% stronger and your ward spells resist 50% of incoming weapon damage.

Compatibility

I recommend using this mod alongside mods that work to redistribute the acquisition of the artifacts added by Fishing.

Compatible with Fishing - Reduced Cut, CC Fishing - No Artifacts from Fishing, and Fishing Reduced Cut-No Artifacts from Fishing.

Patchless compatibility with Thaumaturgy.

Should be compatible with all enchanting overhauls besides those previously mentioned. (e.g. Summermyst)

Potentially compatible with Legacy of the Dragonborn depending on how their CC Fishing patch is handled.

Load after other mods that edit CC items, like Creation Club - Adjustments Rebalancing and Variants and Reliquary of Myth.

SimonMagus and Ooreeoo for inspiration on the enchantments and effects.
