[size=14]Description
==========================================================================================================================================[/size]
This mod adds my own version of Newermind's lovely Elven Archer armour. The changes I've done to the original armour are:
* eliminated the high collar (and added the neck)
* fixed the mesh for 100% weight to avoid the gap with the feet and the clipping of the sleeves when not wearing boots or gloves
* increased a little the breast for the 100% weight
* decreased a little the breast for the 0% weight
* adjusted the weapon distance to the armour so it is not floating
* changed the skeleton so it includes no weapon bone (it should be now compatible with mods that change the position of sheated weapons)
* added eight recolours:
** blue and grey (default)
** red
** frost (dedicated to Azeneth ;))
** green and gold
** purple and grey
** black and silver
** brown and green
** green and red

This is a replacer, so it requires that you install Newermind's mod first: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/36036/?

The armour can be created at any forge, under the Elven section. You need the Elven smithing perk to be able to forge it, though.
