📋 About This Mod
This mod is intended as a temporary "buff" to the new DLC known as 'Nilfgaardian Armor Set'. I say temporary because I heard that CD Project intends to fix it so that it scales with your level.
What this mod does is it clones the Superior Griffin's armor stats and applies it to the Nilfgaardian Armor...sort of. I rounded most of the stats to 5% or 10% or 25% etc... So, yes, it's overpowered. Oh, I also added 3 enchantment slots. Feel free to use as many as you like, all or none, depends on how balanced you want the armor to be (if you like it at all). Horse items have been enhanced/rounded, as well. The Crossbow has been buffed, too.
Check the Stat Images files for more information.
This has been made with the Steam version in mind.
Improved Nilfgaardian Armor is a Witcher 3 mod that clones Superior Griffin armor stats onto the Nilfgaardian Armor Set, rounding most stats to 5%, 10%, or 25% increments, making it intentionally overpowered. It also adds 3 enchantment slots, enhances horse items, and buffs the crossbow. Designed for the Steam version, it offers both a batch file and a ModKit version for NMM installation.

- Old mod (last updated 2015) and may conflict with other armor overhaul mods or game updates.
For Witcher 3 players who love the look of the Nilfgaardian Armor but want it to be endgame-viable without grinding. Also for those who enjoy overpowered gear and customizing enchantment slots. Skip if you prefer balanced, lore-friendly armor stats.
