📋 About This Mod

What does this patch cover?

This patch introduces the various armors introduced in Armors of the Velothi Pt. I, distributing to a number of named NPCs as well as Bandits and other characters.

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 Veloth Pt II is recommended as a complementary patch, due to a lack of overlap in distribution!
