This mod adds 5 legendary rings to Skyrim that previously appeared in Morrowind.
Skyrim severely lacked in powerful magic jewelry and this mod goes some length to remedy that problem !
In Morrowind all the “unique” rings just used the same model with some texture variations, making them not so unique at all. As such they now sport some brand new models, fitting to the lore behind each artifact !
Only one of the rings is modeled after the Morrowind original, so there’s a lot more visual difference between them. Also the model for the Ring of Khajiit was actually made by Bethesda. The model and textures were present in the game's .BSA files, but were never put in the actual game. It's part of this mod because it seemed like a fitting addition.
How to acquire them
All rings can be acquired through a small undocumented ( won't appear in your journal ) quest.
In Morrowind, legendary items were usually scattered throughout the world.
They could be obtained by the player at any time (if you knew where to look), though they were usually heavily guarded. The rings are scattered through Skyrim so you’ll have to go on a little treasure hunt.
You’ll find further clues here and there so keep an eye out for notes. To get started read the following :
There are some hints below for people who get stuck. Try figuring it out yourself first though !
As per PrivateEye's original description :
Usually I don’t have a problem with people using my meshes/textures, etc. as resource for their own mods.
I do have 2 conditions though :
- You only use these assets for your own mod in Skyrim. I don’t want my work used in other games or programs!
- You notify me by private mail that you want to use the mod. You don’t really need to ask for my permission, I just want to know when and where my work gets use. I see it as simple common courtesy.
- You credit me as author of my assets in your mod.
Simply go to the downloads page above , click the green button and activate it in your manager. Ensure PrvtIRings.esp is activated in your plugins section.
To manually install, just unzip the contents of the archive into your main Skyrim directory with Winrar or 7zip which for Steam users should be :
(Drive letter:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition)
To uninstall delete PrvtIRings.esp , PrvtIRings - Textures.bsa and PrvtIRings.bsa. It's safe to uninstall at any point in your game but unequip any of the rings before uninstalling.
This mod might conflict with mods that change the same locations or characters.
The rings are mostly located at obscure locations but some objects have been added to a few popular places.
Biggest chance for conflicts will be with mods that greatly change the Bannered Mare and/or the Prison Dungeons in Whiterun. Also mods that change the Vampire Movarth Piquine might conflict.
I have tested the mod with More Tavern Idles , Interesing NPCs and Vilja and they are fully compatitable.
Note that this section can spoil the entire hunt for you !
Just check the first hint to start with, then another only if you’re still stuck ! Keep it fun for yourself.
Read the journal and unsure where to go next ?
- The first ring and clues are in a tunnel underneath the Whiterun dungeon.
-- The tunnels can be accessed from a cell in the dungeon and through the guards' barracks.
--- Look for a cast iron pot ! You’ll find both the first ring and a note with the locations for the others !
Where do I find the character with the Vampiric Ring ? It says he’s dead !
- You may recognise the name of this character if you played through Skyrim before.
He’s not dead, but a boss character in one of the side quests.
-- The quest is called Laid to Rest. You can start it in Morthal.
The character respawns, so you’ll even find him in his lair after you already completed the quest.
That is not the case if you use the unofficial patch though.
I read the Thief’s note and know the locations of the ring but can’t find them there !
- The rings are always ( with the exception of the vampiric ring which is on an NPC ) in a jewelry chest or strong box. Some of these are in open locations, others in more hidden ones ( never behind a rock or something, but put away on a shelf for example). Look around carefully, they shouldn’t be too hard to find.
There’s still one ring whose location is noted as unknown. How do I find it ?
- You’ll find a note in the same place where you find Phynasters Ring. It will tell you where to go.
Where are all the locations where the rings are hidden!? I’ve not discovered these yet !
( Use this one as a last resort only! It spoils the entire treasure hunt ! )
These are all the hiding places of the rings (besides the Ring of Khajiit) :
-Cragwallow Slope
-Movarth’s Lair
-Northwatch Keep
-Driftshade Refuge
