Welcome to the Read Me file for AbeTheBlackFox's Reaper gear.

Installation:
-Either select it with NMM
OR
-Extract the ZIP file and drag the contents into your Skyrim directory.

Don't forget to enable it in the load list.


My overall goals of this mod was to create a new tier of items that:
1. Doesn't break the game with overpowered stats/effects
2. Provides a balanced degree of difficulty to obtain the items, while still making it worthwhile

These items are not easy to get; they:
-Do NOT drop from any NPCs
-Are NOT sold by any merchants
-Can NOT be disenchanted to reuse their effects

-HAVE a 50% higher base value than that of the strongest standard item in the list
-HAVE infinite enchantments that never run out
(Although overuse of the staff might cause memory leakage, not my fault)
-All items HAVE tempering recipes, except jewellery (Because tempering a necklace does jack)


Before you bork at the requirements in making these items, do remember that these are above the highest tier.
Also note that the crafting recipes are the ones with the requirements; items spawned with the console or
crafted during a buff can still be used if you don't meet the requirements later.
