Morrowind: Netch Leather Armor http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50339

This mod adds craftable 'Netch Leather' armor to Skyrim, a type of armor which saw its first and (until now) only appearance in http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Netch_Leather_%28style%29.

Netch Leather armor is made by the Dunmer of Morrowind and Solstheim; they use Netch Leather because it is much more plentiful than ordinary leather, and the armor itself is designed not only to protect the wearer during combat, but also from the elements during ash storms.

Features

Netch Leather armor offers slightly more protection than standard leather armor and is also lighter, and Boiled Netch Leather armor offers protection equal to Elven armor.

Netch Leather armor is fully compatible with all races, sixes and standard body types.

The helmets show long hair at the back, and the gauntlets show claws on beast-race hands.

The helmets also come in 2 varieties; with face protection and without. The helmets with goggles offer eye protection in http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/31968.

A few named Dunmer NPCs and occasionally Dunmer bandits in Solstheim can be seen wearing Netch Leather armor.

Netch Leather armor uses Standard Definition textures.

Requirements

This mod requires Skyrim v1.9 and the Dragonborn DLC.

Crafting

You can craft Netch Leather armor at any Forge, and the recipes can be found under the 'Leather' category; crafting regular Netch Leather armor does not require any smithing perks, but to craft Boiled Netch Leather armor you need to have the Elven Smithing perk.

Netch Leather armor requires Netch Leather and Netch Leather Strips to create, and Netch Leather to improve at the Workbench.

Netch Leather can only be obtained on the isle of Solstheim, where it is sold by blacksmiths and traders, and can also be harvested from the corpses of slain Netch.

Netch Leather Strips can be crafted at the Tanning Rack from Netch Leather.

Boiled Netch Leather armor requires Boiled Netch Leather and Netch Leather Strips to create, and Boiled Netch Leather to improve at the Workbench.

Boiled Netch Leather can be crafted at Cooking Pots from Netch Leather and Netch Jelly.

Changelog

Known Issues/Bugs

* some areas of the armor may not accurately display blood splatters or snow/ash powder.

Future Projects

Over the next several weeks I plan to create and release several more Morrowind-themed armor sets not previously seen in the Dragonborn DLC or my previous Morrowind armor mod.

Answers to FAQs

* Will you be adapting this armor mod to UNP/CBBE/etc. body types?: I have no plans to, however if someone else wants to, I will be happy to include their work in this mod page as an optional file.

* Can I use your mod to create a mod of my own?: you are welcome to use any of the assets from this mod except the ones in the helmet; if you want to use those you require permission from other mod authors, see in the 'Credits' section below. For my mod assets, you dont need to ask my permission, just drop me a note to say that you have and link to your mod page, also giving credit is appreciated.

* Can I make a translation of this mod, or release mod compatibility files?: Yes you may.
