Description

The objective of this mod is to give some of Skyrim's artifacts and unique items more unique enchantments that make these items more rewarding and usable. Furthermore, I have attempted to stay as true to vanilla design where possible, this mod isn't meant to make every special item in Skyrim a "Super-Powerful-God-Item" but rather improve upon them, and remove some of vanilla's monotony. For enchantment values and additional information please see the Docs Tab and the enclosed Readme.


The College of Winterhold

The Archmage's Robes and other various accessories received or found during the The College of Winterhold questline are fairly dull and uninteresting. They can be easily described as "Worse Master Mage Robes" and "Magicka Stat Sticks". To remedy this the enchantments on the robes and boosts have been buffed, and gloves and boots have been added to complete the set. This allows the now complete set to easily function as endgame gear for mage characters. As for the accessories like the Saarthal Amulet and the Diadem of the Savant, they have been changed from simple "Stat Sticks" to "Stat Sticks with flavor and usefulness". The additional Arch-Mage items along with extra robes can be found in the investigator's chest found in the Arcanaeum which is now locked with the Arch-Mage's Quarters Key (to prevent abuse).

The Dark Brotherhood

The armor sets obtained during the course of The Dark Brotherhood questline serve little use to the Dragonborn outside of the early game (maybe with the exception of the infamous double sneak attack gloves). The changes to these armor sets seek to both balance them and make them useful throughout a playthrough and can even be easily used as end game gear. Key changes include separate enchantments for the masked and maskless version of the Dark Brotherhood Cowl along with the addition of an Ancient Dark Brotherhood Clothes set (which can be found during the Locate the Assassin of Old quest).

The Thieves Guild

When comparing the various faction armors sets in Skyrim, the thieves guild sets by far make the most sense. These sets are thematically very well designed and each enchantment benefits the aspiring thief in some way. The exception to this is the Nightingale armor set which not only lacks thief related enchantments, but also has enchantments which make little sense given in the in-game descriptions of Nightingales. With regards to the thieves guild sets, thematically appropriate changes and additions have been made, and regarding the Nightingale set, the existing enchantments have been expanded upon while still keeping the vanilla theme, and thief related enchantments have been added.

The changes made seek to make these masks both more viable in general and more appropriate for a variety of builds. Furthermore, Konahrik now has light armor and cloth variants that can be swapped between at any smelter.

Nordic Legends

Skyrim is home to numerous Nordic ruins that dot its landscape. Many of these ruins contain not only the stories and secrets of those that inhabited them in the past but also house artifacts locked away in their depths. However, most of these artifacts boast, often boring of completely useless enchantments which are easily outclasses by those that can be found on randomly generated loot. To this end, the enchantments of each of the following items have been improved upon, making them useful and powerful options for the Dragonborn, while still following their vanilla themes.

Spoiler:

Ysgramor's Armaments

The Forsworn

The forsworn of Skyrim are viewed as a vicious and tribal group. While they may be largely misunderstood, they are most certainly not to be trifled with. However, their sacred items and artifacts definitely leave one wanting. Possibly the worst case of this is the Armor of the Old Gods armor set. When Madanach presents the set to the Dragonborn, he does so out of respect saying that it is "blessed with the old magicks" which in the vanilla game means "bottom tier generic enchantments". Needless to say, the enchantments on the armor set have been enhanced to better match Madanach's description.

  • Absorbs 10 points of Health from the target. If the target dies within 10 seconds their soul is absorbed as well, filling a soul gem.


The Blades

After the Great War, the order of The Blades was left in ruins, and the subsequent signing of the White-Gold Concordat left the Empire with no choice but to officially disband the organization. In Skyrim, the Dragonborn is assisted by the former Blades Delphine and Esbern and as a group they eventually rediscover Sky Haven Temple where the Dragonborn uncovers the Blade artifact Dragonbane along with potentially one of the last surviving sets of Blades armor. Additionally, when investigating Bloated Man's Grotto, the Dragonborn may come across the resting place of Bolar's Oath Blade. In the base game both of these artifacts are significant to the history of The Blades, but mechanically they are quite lackluster. As such, both have been adjusted to better match what would be expected of these lost relics.

Spoiler:  
Show
Dragonbane

  • Deals 20 Shock damage to Health and twice as much to Magicka. Dragons take 40 points of unresistable Shock damage that lingers dealing 5 damage per second until combat ends.

Bolar's Oathblade

  • Creatures, People and Undead up to level 15 flee from combat for 20 seconds. Does 35 points of Stamina damage and absorbs 10% Movement Speed from the target for 5 seconds.


Thane Weapons

In Skyrim the Dragonborn has the opportunity to become the Thane of the nine holds. While the main reward is usually a house and housecarl, the Dragonborn also receives a prized weapon of the hold. In vanilla these weapons are randomly generated from leveled lists and do not have any special attributes. The thane weapons have been altered to make each of them have a thematically unique identity and purpose to the Dragonborn.

Blizzard Damage: Unresistible Frost damage.

Dragonborn

The various weapons and armor found during the Dragonborn's adventure to island of Solstheim are rich in both Nordic and Dwemer history. Most notably, the weapons and armor of Haknir Death-Brand are scattered across the island. Only the most ambitious explorers can ever hope to find his, quite frankly, underwhelming set. As is, the most interesting part of collecting the Deathbrand Armor is the rather unique final boss fight, but not the armor itself. The changes made to the Haknir's legendary set of gear aim to make it a set worthy of the legendary pirate while still taking advantage of its unique mechanics.

Dawnguard

After uncovering Harkon's sinister plot to plunge the world into darkness, the Dragonborn embarks upon a long and arduous quest across Skyrim to save the Nirn once again. During this quest the Dragonborn uncovers various unique items, though their true goal is to find Auriel's Bow, the legendary Aedric artifact. This effort is met with disappointment, as, mechanically speaking, this might weapon is outclassed by generic loot. With the changes made to Auriel's Bow, it should now truly feel like the weapon of a god while still adhering to its intended design.

Compatibility

  • FAUI makes changes to all of the weapons, armors, and accessories listed above. Naturally any mod that also makes changes to these records is incompatible.
  • Multiple patches are available in the FOMOD installer. This is not a complete collection of patches as there are many mods that are bound to be incompatible with FAUI. If there is a mod that you would like to me to make a patch for go ahead leave a comment and I'll get around to it when/if I can.
  • There are a few mods that I will not make compatibility patches for. At the moment this is a short list and only includes MorrowLoot Ultimate, Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes/Complete Crafting Overhaul Remastered, and Legacy of the Dragonborn. I don't use these mods and don't care to make patches for them.
  • If you want to make your own patches for FAUI, SSEEdit is recommended to resolve most conflicts. Just make sure to forward all of the relevant FAUI changes.


Installation 

Download and activate with your favorite mod manager. I will not support those who have issues with manual installation.


Uninstallation
