📋 About This Mod
What does this patch cover?
This patch introduces the various armors introduced in Armors of the Velothi Pt. II, distributing to a number of named NPCs as well as Bandits and other characters. The patch also covers Interesting NPCs, if you also have that mod, and natively works with Requiem.
Due to being a SPID patch/adaptation, it avoids a need for compatibility patches.
If you have any suggestions (such as characters to distribute to / not distribute to) or run into any issues, please let me know.
RMB SPIDified - Armors of the Velothi Pt I is recommended as a complementary patch, due to a lack of overlap in distribution!
