📋 About This Mod
Lightweight and lore-friendly elven armor made of stainless steel, leather and cloth. Only light armor available, in male and female versions (UNP), which can be crafted at the forge using common materials (elven smithing perk required). This mod is based on excellent armor Truly Light Elven Armor with minor changes in the overall design. I wanted to create a standalone light armor that would be great for rangers and not stand out much from the vanilla ones.
The characteristics of the armor are completely identical to the standard light elven armor, only simpler materials are required to create it.
All my mods ported to Skyrim LE by jb93lonewolf , Xbox One verions ported by basspainter.
