📋 About This Mod
- []I've created FIVE brand-spanking-new upgrade diagrams for the Kaer Morhen (starting armor) torso and pants (but not gloves and boots). []Vanilla chest, pants, boots, and gloves were given a slight boost in stats and thier visual inventory item color has been changed to match the other witcher gear. []Though only the chest and pants are upgradeable, the gloves and boots will still prove useful until you find suitable upgrades (around level 5 or so). []Each upgrade tier's stats were given thoughtful consideration, and are very balanced in comparison to other witcher armors. No, it's not overpowered in the slightest. []A NOTE REGARDING ITEM NAMES: Currently I cannot find the source file responsilbe for item names, so each diagram for the chest is just "Warrior's Torso" or whatever it's called. PANTS DIAGRAMS are called Salmian Brigandine, and create "Hunter's Pants" []Tiers 1 and 2 are weaker than tier 1 of any other witcher armors, but can be easily obtained through Armorer's stores. []Tier 3 is about equal in strength to the tier 1 feline armor. This can also be obtained through an Armorer's store, however, the cost is a decent amount more than the previous 2 tiers. []Tiers 4 and 5 are on-par with the other T2 and T3 witcher armors, and must be FOUND. I've stored them in the same containers as various witcher upgrade diagrams, happy hunting!

COMPATIBILITY Not compatible with Enhanced Starting Armor 2. 0 Should be compatible with most mods, but to be sure, it's never a bad idea to check compatibility between mods using Script Merger THIS MOD WILL NOT CRASH YOUR GAME. If you experience any crashing, the source is somewhere else.
RECOMMENDED MODS Dynamic Enemy Scaling - Enhanced - ensures a challenge from all creatures regardless of what level you are Remove Weapon and Armor Level Restrictions - best used alongside a mod that increases difficulty (mod above works great)
Adds upgrade diagrams for the Kaer Morhen starting armor, bringing it on par with each tier of the other Witcher Armors. A niche but popular enhancement for players who want to keep the iconic starting gear viable throughout the game.
