Help! I've got a level 16 character and merchants are still only selling iron / steel weaponry / armor. I'm not sure if this is a feature of one of the mods I'm using and I'm very new to wrye bash. I think I have it setup correctly I'm using BOSS to order everything and I activated the big mods in the order given on the MMM thread

Unofficial Patches first and DLC Mod Patches
Frans and OOO, WarCry, Bob's Armory, Arma and Artifacts,
MMM
Cobl / Cobl Races
Body Replacers
FCOM
Textures

Here is my load order, if anything else is needed please let me know

That woud be normal since you are using OOO which make getting good items that much harder and requires high levels..

Town vendors will only have up to elven weapons lvl 20 and orcish / mithril armor lvl 20..

All Normal once again

if you want the good weapons and armor then you need to go dungeon hunting..and earn it that way...

You may want to start checking the Tamriel Travellers Merchant instead has they use different item list (not town vendor) and proabably have better chance of having dwarven weapons or silver weapons enchanted if you can afford it and better armor selection..You can probably just wait at one of resting spot and the next day the next traveller will come along..etc..

Oh ok I read the bit in the OOO readme that said Vendors would have mid grade items at any given point in time and figured mid grade would have something higher, I guess I'll have to start exploring more off the main roads. Thanks!
