What does this mod even do?
This mod adds a new merchant, Ro'iq, near the Guardian Stones that sells the new ingredients added by 'Rare Curios.' He will have up to 15 of them at a time. Quick directions:

• Fast Travel to the Guardian Stones.
• Turn left, about 90-100 degrees and walk forward.
• Jo'iq should be sitting there, contemplating life.
  

Why?
I'll be honest. Bethesda's distribution of the ingredients, while it does make sense canonically, doesn't provide enough of them at a time to make it reasonable. Add to that the fact that Khajiit Caravans move all the time... it's a nightmare. A static merchant who doesn't move around too much and reliably has curios is probably gonna relieve a lot of headaches.

Will he move around?
No, he'll just sit near the Guardian Stones, contemplating life.

Are there any requirements?
Only the 'Rare Curios' CC content. It's provided free of charge with the Anniversary Edition.

How do I install it?
Download the file and install it using your mod manager of choice. If you're a madman and want to install it right into your directory manually, go for it. I won't judge.

But the .esp takes a load slot!
Don't worry. The file is ESP-FE friendly, and won't take up a 'big' slot in your load order. If for some reason it doesn't flag immediately as a light file, then you can do it through Wrye Bash or Vortex.

Is this compatible with x mod?
I have tried to make it as compatible as possible out of the box. You shouldn't have any issues except with content that adds things around the Guardian Stones.

Can I install this mid-game?
NO!
You should NEVER install mods mid-game. When the game starts (by hitting 'New' from the Main Menu) the game loads all the active files and FormIDs up - and all references that use them. Messing with the load order AT ALL messes with those references and WILL cause damage to your game!
I will not support anyone who installs this or any other mod mid-game for any issues that arise with this mod.

But I just-
NO!


I found a bug!
I don't foresee this mod having any problems or issues, but if you do find one then please leave a comment telling me what happened and I'll get to it. To help me out, try and explain what was happening before the bug happened, and what the bug caused to happen.

Why won't you help me with my bug?!
In general, there are a few bad practices that players do that would cause problems down the line. I won't help anyone who does the following:

• Console the merchant into your location (You shouldn't have to do this anyway, he should be easy to find. Besides, blatant console usage can and will cause problems down the line)
• Installed this or any mod mid-game (See above for why)
  

What if it's a compatibility issue?
There shouldn't be any compatibility issues with this mod. If you do come across one though, then let me know WHICH mod is struggling with it and I'll see what I can do.

Can I put this in a collection?
Please ask me first before you put this mod into a collection or compendium. I'm likely to say yes, but it's just a little courtesy.

I got this mod from a collection/compendium and it doesn't work!
Then please take this up with whoever curated the collection/compendium. I'm not being mean about it, they probably know more about the mods they use than I do, and they're more likely to be able to resolve it.

Can I make a compatibility/bugfix/improvement mod for this?
Check the Permissions tab. Again, I'm likely to say yes, but please ask me first before you do.

Are you sure he has wares?
If you have the coin, then yes.
