About this mod

Adds Gale’s Keyart Armour, as well as other equipment with custom spells and VFX.

Permissions and credits


This mod is a recreation of Gale’s Keyart Armour; as well as thematic equipment with custom spells and visual effects. The armour’s patterns were handpainted to excruciating detail for months, and the colors carefully balanced to recreate Gale’s look in all the promo material and screenshots from before Early Access, in as much detail as I could manage. The mod also offers custom icons, names and descriptions for all the new stuff. ENJOY! ;)
