Step 2. Right Click The Appearance Extractor -> Combine



Step 3. Combine it with the item you want to take the appearance from
it won't destroy your item and you'll get a new item named appearance

    So I'm perplexed because I'm trying to apply the Dryad Costume to the starting Druid Armor. I use the knife on the Dryad Costume, successfully get the combinable copy, go to combine it with the Druid Armor but it says Invalid Combination? I haven't applied anything to the Druid Armor beforehand and feel I'm following the steps exactly. ... Even tried to use the Combinable Druid Costume that I find in the Summon Tutorial Chest instead of the Combinable I created just to be safe but still get the Invalid Combination prompt. Halp :')

      I have a similar problem with other mod. The thing is if you are combining a weapon/armor while equipped then it'll show this error.
      Try. Unequip Armor/Weapon -> combine -> wear again. Worked for me.

      This is because you have already painted your armor

    K, this has been bugging me, since I wanted to try this mod but I'm already mid playthrough. Is there a reason they have to use the tutorial chest? I mean the deluxe edition items can appear in your stash mid-playthrough. Surely that would be more efficient. Not judging the modders, but as a programmer, who doesn't have time to learn how to make bg3 mods. I am really curious about this.

      Yeah so I'm not sure about the stash thing. However, if you start a new save, close while still on the ship, download a mod that edits the tutorial chest, and then load your save, your game will load to 80% and then crash. Apparently, if you change the loot in a container in the act or area you're in, it will crash usually. Therefore, since the Nautiloid "disappears" after you leave it, but the chest can still be loaded by summoning it via it's specific UUID (calling card in the game files), people use it for their mod stuff, especially if there's more than a few items. Also, since you aren't on the nautiloid, it seems to refresh it's inventory once the chest de-spawns, so you can have as many as you want, making it a convenient cheat. 

      Even if a patch or some modder made it easier to port stuff to your camp stash, I think tutorial chest has become kinda ingrained now anyhoo.

    So we just need the knife not the the rest of the items in the chest? Cause they are too heavy for my characters to lift and I can't send them to camp yet. Very confused.

    Are you able to extract the look from modded items to apply on vanilla items?
