Changelogs
Now included in Thalmor Rearmed - Equipment Overhaul

Expanding on the original Gilded Elven Armor Complete mod by jedp15 adds in a full set of weapons completing the elven gilded set


All weapons and armor are craftable requiring the elven smithing and advanced armors perks
Armor, bows, arrows and one-handed weapons now appear in the Thalmor level listed spawning between elven and glass

Elven gilded weapons are balance between elven and glass as a slight improvement on elven weapons generally this will be higher critical damage and value, additionally for non-WACCF users they will be lower weight and WACCF users will have a higher base damage compared to elven
Gilded armor is balanced between scale and glass, to learn more about the armor changes please refer back to the original or SSE armor mod's description


(Archived HA5.2) Heavy Armory version additions:
Adds in matching craftable elven gilded weapon variants from Heavy Armory
HA weapon variants are also level listed to Thalmor, as well as the new one-handed weapons, most two-handed weapons should also appear rarely on Thalmor


Heavy Armor Patches:
Optional files for Elven gilded convert the armor set to heavy, armor stats equal to orcish with lower weight and value


Elven texture replacer:
Works independently of the rest of the mod, Simply a retexture of the vanilla elven set to give it the same appearance as the elven gilded set in this mod


Installation:
If you are using IconicDeath's Elven Set - Resurgence either mod can override as they are sharing the same texture files
Current Heavy Armory version unsupported at the moment, Archived patch files can still be used with HA 5.2.

Truly light male and female elven armor model replacer added, overwrite your chosen main file for truly light gilded
Believable weapons patch added for Gilded weapons and as an elven replacer, overwrite your chosen main file or the replacer as appropriate
Heavy armor patches now available for both versions, converts elven gilded armor to a heavy armor set, overwrite chosen main file with appropriate patch



Notes:
Much like the original mod I expressed frustration that in vanilla all we got was a Gilded cuirass, after using the SSE version of Jedp15's mod by hellwisp to save me from the severe lack of gilded armor in my life I finally decided that I needed to round out the set with weapons, so building on the SSE version of the mod I did just that

On the new Gilded appearance 'According to lore, Gilded Elven is not in fact armor that's "gilded" with gold, as you'd think. It's actually a combination of moonstone and quicksilver. Quicksilver has sort of a blue-green hue with purple mixed in. I've gone for a subtle change which hopefully reflects what this alloy could look like.' - jedp15. Thinking on this I combined jedp15's cubmaps with Iconic's textures and a little nif tweaking of my own. I felt I had arrived at that shiny alloyed quicksilver and moonstone appearance I was looking for, helping it to stand out from regular elven armor while not looking too different
