About this mod

A set of upgradeable psychic-themed gear, and a scavenger hunt spanning the entire game

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Prepare yourself to embark on a great scavenger hunt across Baldur's Gate as you search for the mystical Psychic Armory, a powerful set of gear said to bolster the strength of psychic casters. Two mysterious benefactors have left you a strange trail of clues and riddles to follow, beginning on the Nautiloid. Are you up for the challenge?

Can you defeat the 3 Keepers and restore the Star of Ascension?
Can you find all the pieces of the legendary Psychic Armory?

Be sure to pay attention to item descriptions, ability names and tooltips as you travel across the lands in search of your prize.

Due to items being placed all throughout the world in all 3 acts and on the Nautiloid, a new game is recommended. Items may not spawn into the world in locations that you have already loaded in an existing playthrough.
For those of you who don't want to scavenge but still want to play with the gear, download the Item Shipment Framework to have a bag full of every item provided by this mod shipped directly to your camp chest.

Playing as a Mesmerist will provide additional synergy between the Psychic Armory and your class chassis. Load Psychic Armory AFTER Mesmerist in your load order
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of the gear can be upgraded, using a unique combiner item: the Padma Blossom
