So, to help everything fit into the game, I thought to share my tweaks:
- aligned staves with the vanilla staves and CC Staves:
- renamed enchanted staves following the vanilla naming convention (Eclipse Staff of Fireballs, Eclipse Staff of Ice Storms, Eclipse Staff of Chain Lightning)
- moved enchanted staves recipes from the smithing forge to the staff enchanter, with the same ingredients and requirements as their vanilla counterparts
- removed recipes for the enchanted versions of robes, hood and cloak (they can be created at the enchanting table with the vanilla enchanting system)
- balance tweaks:
- reduced the shield's weight and armor rating by half, because it's a light version of the vanilla Steel Shield and it's also the size of a buckler (value is the same, because it's a unique shield), reduced steel ingots required by 1 in its crafting recipe
- changed stats of the arm plate to the same as the leg plate, as is the case with most vanilla boots and gauntlets
- changed stats of the gloves to the same as the boots, changed the gloves' crafting recipe to be the same as well
- doubled the value of hood and cloak
- added Survival Warm keyword to the robes, for convenience
The patch is flagged as ESPFE, so it doesn't take up a slot in your load order.
The file includes a FOMOD that allows you choose to increase values of the clothing pieces based on the vanilla Jarl's clothes (increased crafting ingredients' quantities by 1 for balance purposes), and/or turn the plates and pads into clothing for aesthetic purposes.
