    (last updated on 12/27/2014)

    WARNING - Minor Spoilers - This article details the technical aspects of how this Mod adds loot to the game. If you want to be blissfully unware of the behind the scenes, just trust that "it works". If you are intently curious or otherwise want more information in order to better tweak your MCM settings, read on!

Below is a description of these differences and basic details of how they work. This article is not intended to give away anything I would consider a spoiler.

    Please note that some items will only give vague descriptions (without exact #s, for example) of what the effect does. In such cases, this is intentional for enchancing role-playing and immersion.


    Set Bonuses

  • What are Special Items? (Minor Spoilers!)

    The following article gives some details about Special Items added by More Interesting Loot for Skyrim v3.0.

    WARNING - Minor Spoilers - This article gives hints and clues about how to figure out what a Special Item might do. It does NOT give details on any actual Special Items.



    Special Items are fairly rare items added to Boss Loot. These items are generally fairly powerful and/or may even be cursed! The kicker with these items is that you do not know what their actual magic effects, powers, etc are!

    The goal for these items are to be fun and challenging to figure out - sort of like a quest, but without a specific quest.

    These Special Items often will have one or more general Passive Effects, one or more Lesser Power...
