With purple to violet
from the beginnings to the end
she walks in beauty
Go for adventure to build your beloved sets , search for ingredients , harvest monsters , explore dungeons and buy some strange stuff ... you never know what you'll need .
Are you playing as a thief ? , a mage ? , not any of these two ? , you like powerful stuff ? , you dont ? , you like the sets to be already enchanted when you craft them ? , you are a skyre user ? no ? ... eight different versions of five sets of beautifully colored light armor (body hand feet) are included in the download to suit the playing style you prefer . this is a remake of the yurica's mod "kisetsu kimono for unp" the meshes and textures are still needed from the original mod , everything else is changed .
loved the sets from yurica's mod kisetsu kimono ... i tweaked them while following a particular approach to do that , wanted these armors to accompany me while leveling and to remain useful at high levels while having to do a lot of adventuring to be able to craft them ...
how did i tweak the sets ? , well first i changed the armor values for the various sets and made every set different from the others in those values , the sets where named haru natsu aki fuyu and violet , i left the names and the colors as they were but gave some more meaning to the order of the sequence , so now the first set "haru" has an armor value similar to the leather set but more powerful , its like a first tier in the sequence , the "aki" one is like a second tier with the different color and more armor ratings its a bit more powerful then the elven one , the "natsu" represents the third tier it falls into the advanced armors category with a new color and more armor ratings , the fuyu is the fourth tier and belongs to the glass category in ratings but also more powerful then the glass set , the violet set is the ultimate tier more powerful then the dragonscale one .
they are more powerful then their respective categories but they are much more difficult to craft and temper , as i changed secondly the respective recipes for crafting and tempering , this way you'll need to do much more adventuring and maybe some shopping to get the materials to be able to craft them , each set now have its own different recipe to suit its category .
third i made the sets to be crafted at the forge as they now needs some materials that i didnt see fit anymore for the tanning rack .
fourth i added a new req. for all the sets after "haru" the first one in the sequence which doesint have one , to craft "natsu" you now need the elven perk (smithing tree) , to craft the "aki" you need the advanced armor perk , to craft the "fuyu" you need the glass perk , and to craft the "violet" you need the dragon one , why did i add these req. ? , well because i believe that it doesint make any sense and that its game breaking that you can craft a set more powerful then the glass set or the dragonscale one from the game beginnings ... progression of abilities and adventure .
fifth i tweaked some of the sets (see description below) so they come now already enchanted when you craft them , and that in different styles to suit the different ways of playing the game (you can use the unenchanted versions if you dont like that or use a tool to disenchant the ones you like their enchantments to be changed) .
six i added the various versions in two groups for different play styles .
all sets are to be crafted at the forge under miscellaneous , the ones that req. a perk will appear there only after you buy the needed perk , they are all temperable .
the crafting as i said above is much more difficult then in the original esp , that to compensate the higher armor rating values ... , and to give more purpose to adventuring , the whole work is to allow you to enjoy those beautiful sets at any level , feel a sense of progression with the different colors and to have some more competitive and lovely sets at high levels . well its a bit like a color/resistense/power/progression journey that begins with the spring purple ... to reach the ultimate violet after the winter white , i like it .
some of the already added enchantments will give some of the low level armor rating pieces a new purpose and that to make them still useful after advancing in the game , the various enchantments are not overpowered but interesting so you'll find useful to combine some lower pieces with some higher ones for different purposes ...
as i said above eight versions are included in the download , you only need one , they are in two groups (readme included in the download) .
the first group (normal) includes four version :
1- base normal version (no enchantments)
2- normal general oriented enchantments where the various pieces comes already enchanted in a way to suit a non specialized way of playing .
3- normal generally thief oriented enchantments (for thieves)
4- normal generally mage oriented enchantments (for mages)

second group (high) includes another four versions :
higher armor ratings .

2- high general oriented enchantments where the various pieces comes already enchanted in a way to suit a non specialized way of playing .
3- high generally thief oriented enchantments(for thieves)
4- high generally mage oriented enchantments (for mages)
the high versions all have the same armor ratings , their armor ratings are already set to be fit for use with skyre (where the armor ratings are much higher then vanilla) but still more powerful ... , you can use them in vanilla game if you like to have some powerful stuff or after enough leveling or if you are using a lot of difficulty enhancers in your game (skyre and the reprocer are not requiered) .
note 1 : IMPORTANT for skyre users : do not include the sets in the reprocer (the armor ratings are already set to be fit for skyre) .
