About this mod

Redesigning mod for dragonscale - adding 6 new sets of armor (3 light and 3 heavy) and makes dragonhunting rewarding!

Requirements
Permissions and credits
REQUIRES DAWNGUARD
Standalone. 

This is mod that is supposed to rebalance dragon armors (and make them worth a perk) without changing their default sets. Each type of dragon has now its own unique scales, and you can make armor with them - the tougher was your enemy, the better armor! 

1. What this mod does? 
- Each type of dragon drops its own scales, AND default dragon scales (for example - Blood Dragon drops normal loot + 2 Blood Dragon Scales). 
- Adds 6 new sets of dragonscale armor, (3 made of weaker dragons' scales are light armor: Blood, Frost and Elder, 3 made of harder are heavy armors: Ancient, Revered and Legendary). Vanilla set of dragonscale armor and dragonplate remain untouched. 
- Armors are fully craftable and upgreadable (should be also enchantable). 
- They require dragon smithing perk. 

2. Details. 
Armors are based on existing Skyrim model, (I've changed textures, stats and recipes) so they shouldn't glitch. Each dragon drops only 2 scales specific for their species, so you need to hunt many dragons of a type to make an full set of armor and upgrade it - you have new reason for dragonhunting. 
Ancient dragon armor is slightly better than Dragonplate and Revered is better than Daedric. 
Helmets should be Khajitt & Argonian friendly.

3. Known issues: 
Doesn't work fully with Ditigrate Khajiit and Raptor Argonian mod:http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=228314296 
When boots are equipped, Khajiit or Argonian's feet look like human (are not ditigrate or raptor feet). I'll try to fix it later. 
Incompatible with mods directly affecting dragons, e.g. Dragon Fighting Rebalance or Dragon Blood.
Please, report if any other issues or incompatibilities'll appear. (this is my first mod, so I could do some errors). 

Edition history: 
v1.1: I had the mod redone, fixed DLC requirement problem.
v.1.2: Fixed mistake with heavy boots' armour type
v.1.4 Added legendary shield recipe. 
v.1.5 Added ArmorHeavy keywords for heavy armor pieces.

Enjoy, subscribe, rate, comment and let the dragonhunt begin!
