📋 About This Mod

This mod adds two new unique set bonuses, one to the rag armor and one to the leather armor. It also adds bonuses to the lesser used capes.

This is a companion mod to my other new mod Cape And Torch Resistance Rework - New Water And Cold Resistance. It also includes the set bonus changes from Troll Armor Set Bonus Without Cape, Cape Adds Wet Resistance, but not the water resistance changes.

Set bonus changes:

Before we start, you can change the translation of the name and tooltip of the bonuses and disable the set icon in the config.

Leather Armor:

Adds a set bonus for wearing all 3 pieces of leather armor (the one out of deer hide):

While it is technically the best Meadows armor, deer hide is used a lot in the early game, and with Eikthyr not being that threatening on a second playthrough, I wanted to make this armor feel a bit more worth its investment, so experienced vikings would think twice before skipping it.

Quick Feet:

  • []+10 Run skill (which increases running speed and decreases running stamina consumption)

    []an additional -15% running stamina consumption

    Foraging Armor:

    Adds a set bonus for wearing the 2 pieces of rag armor (the one out of leather you start with) together with the Midsummer Crown:

    You start your journey with only one thought on your mind: Flowers, you need to pick up flowers, and after that... everything else.

    • []increased item drops when picking up certain items from the ground (based on the Staff of Regrowth from Terraria, as well as Terraheim)

      []the items include branches, stones, flint, flowers, all berries and non cultivatable mushrooms

      []on average you get two items instead of one, you can configure if you always get two or if you randomly get one to three

      Also enables the Midsummer Crown recipe of 10 dandelions during any season, so you can start your new adventure like described above.

      Troll Armor:

      The troll armor set bonus is now a 3 piece set, allowing for the use of a different cape without losing the bonus. I recommend the mod SNEAKer for an even better set bonus.

      Cape bonuses:

      Like everyone knows, a cape makes you more aerodynamic. Okay, I got nothing, enjoy! (or disable it in the config)

      Deer hide cape:

      • []3% increased movement speed

        Troll hide cape:
