OVERVIEW

Welcome to my very first actual mod for Skyrim. I always felt that The Elder Scrolls games were missing some armour for the beast races, and ever since ESO was released, I was itching to make my very own take on what I thought Khajiit warriors would wear in a place as harsh as Skyrim.

Armour and weapons are all purchasable from the Khajiit caravans.

Upon downloading, for the record, you only need ONE of the main files. They are identical, just one has 4k textures.

ARMOUR

Requires XP32 Maximum Skeleton.

The armour was the most fun to make, and the most stressful. It comes in a plethora of different colour schemes, all with different ingredients for dyes, and a few have different stats to reflect the ingredients they were made with. I based the design off of Mongolian and Persian armour, and sort of met them half way between. The helmet was based off of a fantasy Chinese ornate helmet that I was fond of, then I matched the design to the rest of the armour, so it didnt look stereotypically Chinese. Fun stuff.

As for balancing, this is a very powerful set of armour, and I have no idea what it is truly capable of. I based it loosely on Ebony weapons and armour stats and it deviates from those stats ever so slightly based on the material of each variant and my own intuition.

Be warned, the crafting recipes are pretty daunting, with some expensive materials as well.

The armours I made are as follows:

Khajiiti Apex Gauntlets: (Quicksilver Ingot x1, Void Salts x2, Silver Ingot x2, Corundum Ingot x2, Leather x2, Moonstone x4, Gold Ingot x1, Leather strips x4, Moon Sugar x5.)

I think that covers armour.

WEAPONS

As for weapons - all of the weapons are a moonstone, silver, and quicksilver alloy, thus giving them the silver bonus to kill undead better. Also all weapons and armour can only be made in the Skyforge, because making complex alloys like this would be only possible in the hottest Forges in Elsweyr, or the Skyforge of Skyrim.

Each weapon also has custom blood textures as well. You can take a peek in the screenshots to see how they look.

The weapons I made are as follows:

Khajiiti Glaive (greatsword) - Custom scabbard included
Khajiiti Scimitar (sword) - Custom scabbard included
Khajiiti Cudgel (mace)
Khajiiti War Axe
Khajiiti Khukuri (dagger) - Custom scabbard included
Khajiiti Warhammer (its friggin' huge)
Khajiiti Battleaxe (its also friggin' huge)
Khajiiti ReCurve Bow (with a sexy engraved cherry core)
Khajiiti Quiver and Arrows (for long - range stabbing)
Khajiiti Shield (has some Malachite for a transparent tease)

Some of the screenshots here feature my ENB. (the bloody ones) The ENB I run is Skyrim Re-Engaged, in conjunction with NAT (Natural and Atmospheric Tamriel)

UPDATES

1.1 - Updated Khajiiti ReCurve bow's mesh to work with SSE, and also removed bogus .nifs that were residing in the weapons folder, in a folder called "backups"

1.2 - Paid a visit to some Khajiit Caravan Guards outfitted them with a few variants of my armour. I also added a journal you can find on the left side of the rim of the Skyforge, full of the crafting recipes for the Armour. Reduced the Amount of certain ingots it takes to craft the armours.

1.3 - Added all of the Khajiiti weapons and armour to the Khajiit caravans inventory, availiabe for purchase, if you have coin.
All weapons and armour can now be tempered. This still requires XP32 Maximum skeleton and FNIS to work without crashing. I am still looking into the fix for this.

1.4 - Fixed greyface issue on caravan guards and ensured that they had the proper outfits.
