📋 About This Mod
A light improvement of the starting gear, to make it more consistent and more useful in the initial parts of the game.
-
[]A light improvement of the starting gear, nothing too unbalancing or game-changing.[/]
The main goal is not to make it on par with later gear both found in the game or crafted, but to give it a little more usefulness in the initial parts of the game.
What this mod does:
-
[]make starting gear of green "Witcher Gear" quality instead of being common[/]
[]slightly improves stats, now they are roughly half of the most basic crafted Witcher Schools gear[/]
[]give chest armor and both swords 1 socket, so they can be further enhanced with Glyphs or Runes[/]
[]rename them to consistently be "Kaer Morhen *' instead of the generic names they have in vanilla, so they properly look like a set[/]
[]starting from v1. 1. 0, both starting swords use a different (still vanilla) model, thus they look more interesting.[/]
[]starting from v1. 2. 0, swords are reverted to their vanilla look, to ensure compatibility with other graphic mods.
What this mod does NOT do:
-
[]add set bonus for using 3 or 6 pieces like School gear sets[/]
[]edit any graphic file, it is strictly a data mod[/]
[]make any edit to Viper set or anything else. Starting gear only![/]
In a way, this can be considered a "Lite" version of Improved Kaer Morhen Starting Gear by Arkwulf, but, unlike that mod, it does not touch anything except starting gear and keeps it as "Medium Armor" instead of making it "Light Armor", like Arkwulf mod.
My more limited edits make my mod work nicely with other overhauls like Armor Rework Mod and The Essential Weapon Rework Mod, which I recommend using together with mine.
Game version
This mod was created for and tested with the latest released version: Next-Gen 4. 04 Redkit Update 2
I don't use or support older game versions, especially Old-Gen v1. 32. I simply have no time or interest to do so. I won't accept any requests about this, if you want to use my mods, your best option is to update your game.
Options
Two versions are provided:
[]MAIN: only edits gear stats. Fewer edits mean more compatibility and fewer merge issues. Because of improved stats, item levels may be too high to be used at the start of the game. Intended to be used with mods that take item leveling out of the game (i.e. Item Levels Normalized and other related LEGO mods).
[*]ALT: besides all
-
[]add set bonus for using 3 or 6 pieces like School gear sets[/]
-
[]make starting gear of green "Witcher Gear" quality instead of being common[/]
