📋 About This Mod

Buoyant Armiger Armory

Of all the Elder Scrolls games, Morrowind's glass armory has always been my favorite becuase of the overall unique style and rarity of the items, as well as their mostly exclusive use by the buoyant armigers. With this mod, I aim to introduce an armory set that is not necessarily a 1:1 recreation of the old set, but is inspired by it with many of my own personal touches.

This mod includes 10 new Buoyant Armiger weapons, a new set of male and female armor, and 2 new shields that are craftable with the Glass smithing perk, and require malachite and silver at a forge. The staff can be found in the form of a 2-handed blunt weapon (warhammer) and in standard magic form, of which some enchanted and unenchanted versions are sold by Neloth in Tel Mithryn.

The main file includes 4k textures as default, but there is an optional 2k texture option.

There are now ESL flagged ESP versions available as well! If you are updating mid-save, it's best to use optional standard ESP version, but for new games the ESL flagged version is best.

____________________________________________________________

For those who have the the Skyrim Anniversary Edition or the Ghosts of the Tribunal Creation Club content installed, there is an optional esp that adds 2 Buoyant Armigers to Ashfall's Tear that are part of the Tribunal Temple faction. The full set of Buoyant Armiger weapons and armor can now be obtainable through the GotT questline as well. Note that this does make a small modification to Ashfall's Tear, and so could possibly be incompatible with any other mod that may modify the same space, although there isn't anything that I'm aware of that could cause problems.

*The main 4k texture file or the optional 2k texture file as well as the CC content is of course required for this.

This is the first mod I've really worked on since Skyrim was first released, and I've been re-learning a lot, so nothing will be totally complete or perfect and there may be some small bugs or weirdness that I'll have to work out over time.

I do not always have much time to devote to modding, and will not be adding frequent support, but will update when I can.

This mod adds a Morrowind-inspired Buoyant Armiger armor and weapon set to Skyrim, including 10 weapons, male and female armor, and 2 shields. Craftable with the Glass smithing perk using malachite and silver, it also features a staff variant and optional 4k or 2k textures. A Creation Club addon integrates with Ghosts of the Tribunal.

✨ Key Features

Adds 10 new Buoyant Armiger weapons, a full male and female armor set, and 2 shields.
Craftable with the Glass smithing perk, requiring malachite and silver at a forge.
Includes a 2-handed blunt staff and a magic staff, with enchanted and unenchanted versions sold by Neloth in Tel Mithryn.
Main file uses 4k textures, with an optional 2k texture version.
Offers ESL flagged ESP versions for new games and standard ESP for mid-save updates.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community backing with 360 endorsements and nearly 8k downloads.
  • Faithful Morrowind-inspired design with personal touches, not a lazy copy-paste.
  • Flexible texture options (4k default, 2k optional) to balance quality and performance.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Glass smithing perk and rare materials (malachite, silver), so not for low-level characters.
  • The CC addon modifies Ashfall's Tear, which could conflict with other mods editing that area.
  • ESL flagged version is only recommended for new games; mid-save updates need the standard ESP, which might affect load order.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who love Morrowind's aesthetic and want a unique, lore-friendly armor set with a crafting twist. Also for those who own the Ghosts of the Tribunal CC and want to integrate the gear into that questline. Skip if you're not into crafting or prefer more traditional Skyrim armor styles.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using the ESL flagged version, start a new game to avoid potential issues; for existing saves, stick with the standard ESP.
  • Make sure you have the Glass smithing perk and enough malachite and silver before trying to craft the set.
  • If you have the Ghosts of the Tribunal CC, grab the optional addon to find the gear in Ashfall's Tear and through the questline.
