After some time playing the game, I'm sure you have noticed that each armor you can get through your journey, have a different design depending on its used materials to craft it, while it is cool that there is a lot of variety through progression, didn't you ask or thought yourself that it would be nice to have those available for any (equivalent) armor?

Lets say you make a full set of good old reliable chainmail, tinbronze in this case, and instead of sticking with its base design you can now choose an alternative design within the game,

which can either be the helmet or the body armor, lets say you want the very same design like the gold chain armor, now you can have it with this metal.

(Images in the preview are simple examples of what the mods offers, just to get an idea of what it does)

To get each armor design you don't have to do something fancy like searching/buying crafting scrolls or unlocking it with class exclusive recipes, instead you'll have it available at the very first time and you only need its original materials, the trick is, that the recipe is rearranged with a different pattern than the original one.

Things to keep in mind when using this mod:

No recipes are cheaper than original counterparts, but instead they can be slightly more expensive. 

Every armor type (lamellar, brigandine, chainmail, scale and plate) that appears in this mod, has the same protection, durability and downside values as with the

original sets in the game, they do not differ besides looks.

Alternative Chain armor  can be used to make vanilla armor, this means you can actually make Scale and Plate armor without softlocking your resources.

DESIGNS AVAILABLE:

(keywords to differenciate each armor piece by their base design)

Every armor set and their items are based on one material made armor, for example, you can have all metals with the Scale copper helmet,

but no Copper variant will be available as it is already in the game.

As an additional change, gold and silver chain textures were "fixed", as the tip of the feathers clipped with the chain textures, resulting in a weird metalic tip on them.

Compatible with:

Combat overhaul (applies the same principle within the mod, no additional stat changes or recipes, but only cosmetic, plate armor recipes will remain the same)

Possible additions in the future:

- Alternative plate designs with Blackguard and Forlorn for other metals.


If you happen to encounter any error or misspelling in the mod, notify it to me and I'll see to fix it as soon as possible.

If you happen to ask for a compatibility with other armor mods, I could try to make for variants for other armor mods, but thats not guaranteed at all.
