📋 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.

Note: The ReadMe on this Nexus Page is for the old version, if you decide you want to use the batch file. Otherwise, use the ModKit version and install with NMM (click and activate).
