- new mechanics: find and level up unique items
- finished and reworked set bonuses
- added NG+ support (I don't play NG+ so any feedback on balancing is appreciated)

INTRODUCTION
This mod adds 9 new armor sets (complete with set bonuses) to the game - actually, right now it re-uses existing models (because I have no time to do new models right now). Enjoy using a complete Assassin Set, Ofir Set or the Starting Armor with set bonuses with this mod!
This mod is (almost) finished, ready to play and will (except for fixes) remain as is. That being said, when it comes to adding set items, there are some decisions to take, decisions I am not entirely certain about. I am very happy to hear suggestions to finish this mod / rework it / make something completely new or add different versions of it.
This mod is actually designed around the excellent Ghost Mode ,which I consider the new Vanilla, and I recommend using them together. (Thanks to WGhost for giving me permission to upload a compatibility patch.) The vanilla version is NOT compatible, as Ghost Mode moves bits of code to different places). For installation, please see compatibility section below!

WHAT THIS MOD DOES
- Adds 9 sets complete with set bonuses to the game. The sets are designed to boost some interesting/neglected character builds or playstyles in the game (e.g. assassin, crossbow or a heavy signs build).
- Set pieces are found randomly in containers or in monster drops (see Thoughts below!) There are two looting mechanics:
1. Unique items: You can only find one set of the armors. To level up the armor, use a place of power - it will level up the armor you have on you to match your level.
2. Non-unique items: You find multiple copies of the same piece, you can not level them up yourself, but have to find a higher-level one.
Some obvious stuff:
Requires Blood & Wine and HoS DLC. Made with 1.31 game version. This mod adds or modifies no textures, it is scripts and xmls only.
SOME THOUGHTS
It always bugged me that the set items were only available so late in the game. This is to change this aspect of the game - hopefully without breaking it.
GEAR
- This mod adds 9 complere armor sets as dlc (uses existing models)
- These armors come with their own set bonuses. (some of them are done from scratch, others 'borrow' existing mechanics from the game) There are already a lot of bonus abilities in the game (Mutations, Decoctions, Runes, Perks...) so, I'm sorry, there is some repetition. If you can come up with (feasible) better ideas, please share them!
- This mod should not be game-breaking, I want to make fights more interesting!
LOOT MECHANICS
- Right now, set items are randomly added to all containers (excluding animal drops) but including monster drops and, say, chests and sacks. There are two looting mechanics: 1. Unique items: You can only find one set of the armors. To level up the armor, use a place of power - it will level up the armor you have on you to match your level. 2. Non-unique items: You find multiple copies of the same piece, you can not level them up yourself, but have to find a higher-level one.
- You can set the chance with which set items spawn in the mod menu.
LORE
- Lore: This is not Witcher gear, it is relic gear, so it is not intended to fit a 'true witcher' playstyle. But maybe Geralt fancies a change once in a while.
COMPATIBILITY & INSTALLATION
- This mod modifies quite a number of files (necessarily so, because I have to add and trigger all the additional set bonuses). Hence, this mod will not (straightaway so) be compatible with the bigger overhaul mods that also change combat mechanics.
- It should be compatible with most mods, if not, I will upload a patch.
