📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a set of armor and a sword made primarily with battlemages in mind, though warriors will find it useful as well. The mod also includes craftable, non-enchanted versions of each item.
- The items included in each set are a sword, and a full suit of armor consisting of cuirass, gauntlets, boots, shield, and two helmets.
- There are heavy and light versions of both the regular and the enchanted items.
- Two shield models are available. The default model is a retexture of the elven shield. The replacer uses the ebony shield, and can be downloaded as an optional file. See the screenshots for a comparison.
- Alternative models for the female armor, based on Crosscrusade's work, are provided. These models are for the UNP body. To use them, install the main file first, then the files from Crosscrusade Version.rar. Choose yes when prompted to overwrite.
- Replacers for the female armor for the CBBEv3 body are also available as an optional download. These use files from MAK07's "Remodeled Armor" mod.
The Regular Sets:
- The light versions of the armor pieces have the same stats as Glass Armor. They can be crafted at any smithy if you have the Glass Smithing perk, and can be tempered with Refined Malachite. You will find these items under the GLASS section of the smithing menu, with the name Phoenix Helmet, Phoenix Cuirass, and so on.
- The heavy versions of the armor have the same stats as Ebony. You need the Ebony Smithing perk to craft them, and Ebony Ingots to temper them. They will be under the EBONY section of the crafting menu, and are named Heavy Phoenix Helmet, Heavy Phoenix Cuirass, and so on.
- The swords are also provided in heavy and light versions, though there is little difference between them. This ensures that you can craft a whole set of equipment without needing both the Glass and Ebony Smithing perks.
The Enchanted Set:
- To obtain the enchanted items, hunt down and kill the Firehawk, a rogue battlemage hiding in Sunderstone Gorge (see screenshot for the location). You'll find her towards the end of the dungeon, by the Word Wall that teaches Fire Breath.
- The enchanted items have the same weight and defense rating as the regular versions.
- Each armor piece increases Fire Resistance by 12%, in addition to these enchantments:
- Helmet: Magicka regenerates 20% faster, and the magicka cost of Destruction spells is decreased by 15%.
- - Cuirass: Health regenerates 25% faster.
- - Gauntlets: Attacks with one-handed weapons deal 25% more damage.
- - Boots: Stamina regenerates 20% faster.
- - Shield: 10% chance to absorb a hostile spell.
Firehawk Armor adds a full armor set and sword for battlemages, with heavy and light variants, enchanted and craftable non-enchanted versions. Includes two shield models, female body replacers for UNP and CBBEv3, and integrates with Skyrim's smithing system. A solid cosmetic and gear mod for players wanting themed equipment.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement count (235) and over 8k downloads show it's a proven pick.
- Gives battlemages a cohesive look with both light and heavy options, so you can match your playstyle.
- Craftable versions mean you don't have to hunt down enchanted gear—just smith it yourself.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it might not play nice with newer Skyrim versions or mods that overhaul armor.
- The female replacers are optional and require overwriting files, which can be a hassle if you're not used to manual modding.
- If you're not into the phoenix theme, this set might not fit your character's aesthetic.
For Skyrim players who want a themed armor set for battlemages, especially those who like crafting their own gear and want both light and heavy options. Also for fans of UNP or CBBEv3 body mods who want matching female armor. Skip if you're looking for lore-friendly or historically accurate armor—this is a fantasy set.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager, install the main file first, then the optional female replacers and choose to overwrite when prompted.
- For the UNP or CBBEv3 versions, make sure you have the corresponding body mod installed, or the armor may clip or show gaps.
- Craft the non-enchanted versions to temper them—enchanted items can't be tempered as easily, so you'll get better stats from the craftable ones.
