This mod allows Geralt to craft 4 tiers of the Kaer Morhen armor set that you receive at the beginning of the game. It made me sad that such cool looking gear is replaced by literally anything, but now you can continue to look awesome in the Kaer Morhen gear without gimping your stats!

This mod adds the following 16 items into the game:

• Kaer Morhen armor
• Enhanced Kaer Morhen armor
• Superior Kaer Morhen armor
• Mastercrafted Kaer Morhen armor
  

• Kaer Morhen gauntlets
• Enhanced Kaer Morhen gauntlets
• Superior Kaer Morhen gauntlets
• Mastercrafted Kaer Morhen gauntlets
  

• Kaer Morhen trousers
• Enhanced Kaer Morhen trousers
• Superior Kaer Morhen trousers
• Mastercrafted Kaer Morhen trousers
  

• Kaer Morhen boots
• Enhanced Kaer Morhen boots
• Superior Kaer Morhen boots
• Mastercrafted Kaer Morhen boots
  

Each rank's stats are based on a combination of Gryphon and Cat school armors. The Kaer Morhen armor pieces are roughly 5 armor points lower than Gryphon at each rank.
The primary stat bonuses of the Kaer Morhen armors are half the attack power of Cat, and half the Sign power of Gryphon. So it's a balanced mix of both.

There is not a 5th rank of Kaer Morhen gear because that basically already exists in the game (The Serpent Witcher armor set).


HOW TO ACQUIRE:

THREE WAYS!!

1. If you already have learned how to craft any rank of Cat, Gryphon, or Bear witcher gear, the respective Kaer Morhen rank will automatically be learned once you load into the game. Just check your crafting tab, they should be there.

2. If you have never looted the Cat, Gryphon, or Bear diagrams, then the Kaer Morhen diagrams can be found in whichever Witcher School chest you find first (respective of each rank). For example if you find the Superior Cat Gloves Diagram in a chest, the Master Crafted Kaer Morhen Gloves Diagram will be in there too.
Here's an example of how the tiers work:

• If you have the Viper Steel Sword Diagram, you should also get the BASE Kaer Morhen Gloves and Boots
• If you have the Viper Silver Sword Diagram, you should also get the BASE Kaer Morhen Armor and Pants
• If you have the BASE Cat/Bear/Gryphon Diagrams, you should also get the ENHANCED Kaer Morhen Diagrams
• If you have the ENHANCED Cat/Bear/Gryphon Diagrams, you should also get the SUPERIOR Kaer Morhen Diagrams
• If you have the SUPERIOR Cat/Bear/Gryphon Diagrams, you should also get the MASTER CRAFTED Kaer Morhen Diagrams
• If you have the MASTER CRAFTED Cat/Bear/Gryphon Diagrams,... nothing happens :P
  

3. If you want to be a cheater-cheater-pumpkin-eater, you can use the following console commands to add these items to your inventory:
