Warriors - A Better Rewards and Treasure Mod

So you're a warrior who always wears light armor and wields one-handed weapons. Why then are the quest rewards heavy armor and the boss chests filled with two-handed weapons you can't use? Because the game doesn't really care what armor and weapons you use. Well, the Sp0ckrates Workshop cares! This mod makes sure you get the armor and weapons your character needs.

Now when you receive armor and weapons as rewards, they will be light armor and one-handed weapons, or sometimes bows. In addition, when you loot chests after killing a dragon, giant, draugr death lord, or other boss, the battle will be worth it. For the weapons found will be one-handed or sometimes bows, and the armor will be light. The same will be true for enchanted armor and weapons looted or rewarded to you: They will be enchanted light armor and enchanted one-handed weapons, or sometimes bows.

But wait! There's more: The gold rewarded for completing quests is now increased by 20%! For example, if you would normally be paid 250 gold for completing a quest, you will now be paid 300 gold. It's a little bonus for your hard work, because you're worth it!

The mod does NOT change the weapons used and armor worn by NPCs. It just changes those found in the chests they guard. It also doesn't change armor and weapons sold by merchants and fences. It's a simple mod, but one I find useful. I hope you'll like it too! If you do, please consider rating it. If you have any questions about the mod, please ask. If you would like mods made for other classes, please let me know. Other mods in this collection are here:

Better Rewards and Treasure Collection


Q. What will the mod do for me?
A. It will make it far more likely that your warrior character receives the armor and weapons he or she needs.

Q. What armor will the mod give me?
A. Enchanted and unenchanted light armor and shields.

Q. What weapons will the mod give me?
A. Enchanted and unenchanted one-handed war axes, swords, maces and bows.

Q. How will I get the armor and weapons?
A. You'll receive them as rewards given for completing quests and treasure looted from chests during quests.

Q. What armor and weapons will I not receive as rewards and not find as loot?
A. Enchanted and unenchanted heavy armor, daggers and two-handed war hammers, great swords and battle axes.

Q. Will the armor and weapons in shops change too?
A. No, the enchanted items sold by shopkeepers, blacksmiths and vendors will remain the same.

Q. What about the enchanted items received during Daedic quests?
A. These remain the same.

Q. What about other special enchanted items?
A. Named armor and weapons also remain unchanged.

Q. Why am I still finding some heavy armor and two-handed weapons in chests?
A. If you've already started a quest, the game might have already filled the chest. The chests for new quests should have the more useful armor and weapons.

Q. What will happen if I unsubscribe?
A. The rewards and loot for new quests will return to normal. You will often have an equal chance of getting one-handed weapons and heavy armor as you do of getting two-handed weapons and light armor.

2. Wait for the Skyrim splash screen to display the message that all mods updated.
   
3. Select Data Files.
   
4. Select this mod.
   
5. Use the down arrow button to move it to the bottom of the list of mods.

7. Select OK and Play.

The game should now use the changes to rewards and treasure of the mod you moved to the bottom of the list. Good fighting!
