📋 About This Mod

When you complete guild quests you acquire ranks that can be seen in the Stats menu. As you level up in the guild, your guild's clothing becomes stronger, but to get this effect you have to be wearing all 4 pieces of that faction's attire.

Each guild has 5 ranks, so the guild clothing are upgraded 5 times to get stronger effects. The way I've balanced this is, all enchantments are roughly as strong as a novice enchanter could make them. By the time you reach rank 5 (by completing the guild's questline) the enchantment is slightly stronger than what a master enchanter could make. This means your guild clothing can be useful to you for a good long time but to get their effects at full potential you need to have all 4 pieces equipped.

Enchantments

List of items and their effects:

Companions

  • []Armor: Melee attacks do 15% more damage. While wearing the guild's complete set, an additional 5% is added each time you rank up in The Companions.[/]

    []Boots: Stamina is increased by 40 points. While wearing the guild's complete set, an additional 10 points is added each time you rank up in The Companions.[/]

    []Gauntlets: +10% critical chance. While wearing the guild's complete set, an additional 3% is added each time you rank up in The Companions.[/]

    []Helmet: Bows do 15% more damage. While wearing the guild's complete set, an additional 5% is added each time you rank up in The Companions.[/]

Armor is found in the Companion's hall, next to Kodlak's room. The armor belongs to the Companions but you can take it for yourself after you've joined them.
