Armory of the Dragon Cult - Dragon Priest Armor
Introduction
If you know me well enough by this point, I am a massive fan of Dragon Priests. I love their criminally sparse lore, and boy, do I love their aesthetic, to their imposing armor and their awesome masks. But in the vanilla game, it was just the masks. Well, Miraak got a full set of equipment, at least, but that was it. If you're like me, you were absolutely bothered by the fact that the masks didn't go well with most armor sets in the game. So I decided to be the change I wanted to see in the world. This mod expands upon Skyrim’s Dragon Priest Masks with full sets of armor for each named priest.
How To Obtain
You obtain the armor sets simply by killing the Dragon Priest that wore them in life. They are initially clothing, but can be upgraded to light/heavy armor at a forge using their respective material. Besides the masks, each set is unenchanted, but if you'd like them to come with enchantments, I highly recommend this unofficial addon that's based on Artificer.
The gloves and boots are not visually distinct between clothing and light/heavy armor, but the robes are. Here's Krosis' set as an example.
(Clothing/Light/Heavy)
A unique set for Konahrik is also available within a sealed chest in Bromjunaar Sanctuary. Once you obtain the mask, the chest will unlock.
(Clothing/Light/Heavy)
You can also upgrade Miraak's set to light/heavy armor. The vanilla Miraak robes are untouched.
(Clothing/Light/Heavy)
Requirements
Dragon Priests Retexture SE (Unique Dragon Priests option) - Hard requirement - If you're having issues with the textures, make sure this option is installed!
Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) - Hard requirement - Distributes robes, gloves and boots as loot on Dragon Priests.
Addons
Wyrmstooth
Adds a full set of armor for Suleyk, the Dragon Priest encountered in Wyrmstooth Barrow.
(Clothing/Light/Heavy)
King-Priest - Enhanced Dragon Priests
Adds a full set of armor that drops from generic dragon priests, which are encountered as bosses in Nordic ruins starting at level 25.
(Clothing/Light/Heavy)
Installing/Updating
The mod is safe to install/update mid-save. If you already killed any named dragon priests, you will need to add their equipment via console. It's recommended that you unequip any dragon priest equipment before updating to be extra safe. Some sets that were previously light or heavy armor may revert to clothing in 2.0. You can go to any forge to change them back to light or heavy armor.
Compatibility
Compatibility patches are available in the FOMOD for the following mods:
Artificer - An Artifact Overhaul (Forwards Artificer's Miraak gloves/boots enchantments to the light/heavy armor versions)
The Dragon Cult - Priesthood (Changes perks which require wearing robes to instead require wearing dragon priest armor)
Improved Closefaced Helmets (Ensures that the acolyte masks use the correct textures with both mods installed)
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH KONAHRIK'S ACCOUTREMENTS. THE TWO MODS DO THE SAME THING. USE ONE OR THE OTHER. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP ASKING ME ABOUT THIS PLEASE I WILL LITERALLY NEVER MAKE A PATCH.
Credits
A big thank you to both Xavbio (Textures, meshes, SPID integration) and Dareni (Meshes, SPID integration). Without them, this mod never would have been able to get finished. I highly recommend checking out their work, their mods are very high quality.
Thank you as well to Simon and Delta for help with additional scripting and general support. I feel like you've probably heard of these guys if you're here already, but check them out if you somehow haven't.
