Signature Equipment

Description
A hero's gear can take on a legend of its own. Build it.


What Does This Mod Do?

Simply put, Signature Equipment enables your weapons and armor to scale through achievement. Single-handedly slaughter the entire Stormcloak army with a butter knife? That butter knife now has the stats and value to prove it. Wear the same pair of dragon-slaying boots for good luck? You guessed it.

In practice, the more you use the same equipment, the more potent and valuable that equipment becomes. It's a lot like tempering, but you do it gradually by cleaving through your enemies. This allows for a favorite early game weapon to become a signature weapon that scales with your character. Maybe your character might intentionally build up the reputation of a weapon to sell it for a profit. Or maybe you like the way a weapon looks, but its damage just can't keep up. That's no longer an issue with this mod!


How Do I Use This Mod?

This mod is plug-and-play. There is a configuration menu that allows you to disable the mod, adjust the rate of progression, and set progression caps for weapons and armor. Beyond that, just play the game and watch as your equipment strengthens.

The default progression rate is balanced to keep your equipment viable without overshadowing any high tier gear you might come across. Progress slows exponentially the more upgraded your items become, so an iron sword might eventually become stronger than an ebony sword, but the ebony sword has more potential. The higher your level, the quicker your equipment progress through tiers you've out-leveled, providing an upgrade "fast track" if you choose to use new equipment.


Installation and Compatibility

If you use A Legend's Weapons and Vestments, uninstall it first. This mod replaces it.

This mod requires SKSE. SkyUI is required to use the MCM. Make sure you have those installed first. Otherwise, installation is standard.

All weapons and armor, clothing, and jewelry is affected, even modded items.

Yeah. There's three Skyrim community mods that you can download from the store. The only reason they're on the store is because they wanted a Steam port and the Workshop has this weirdly small limit on the amount of storage space a mod can use up.

@Fellgamer. You for real? I never knew that.

I wish the mod could have been made without an SKSE dependency, but it was unavoidable. Still, there aren't many reasons to avoid using SKSE if you have the game for PC and a mod you want depends on it.

SKSE can easily be downloaded from the steam store without any hassle whatsoever.

Unless I misunderstood the instructions in the description, I wish there was a way to use this without needing SKSE. This looks so well done. But it doesn't mean I would try it in the future potentially.

No more or less than any other mod. Skyrim SE does disable achievements if any mods are loaded, but I'm not sure about LE.

Is it blocking any achievements?

Yep.
