Signature Equipment has quickly became a must have for me and my favorite mod!

PC SSE - Mod

It's so well made and just overall feels really good and balanced!
For those that don't know Signature Equipment makes it so your armor set and weapons (even modded ones) scale in damage and value as you go throughout the game! your weapons attack damage is going to increase ever so slightly and the value of it as well! it also has an MCM to control how fast/hard it scales.

And it works with the damned Ebony Blade!

This post isn't doing it justice, highly recommend giving it a try!

The only issue I have is the obvious conflict with Loot and Degredation. I tried to find a balance between them but it just doesn't work and I ended up sticking with Loot and Degredation.

Same experience but ended up sticking with Signature Equipment. As much as I love Loot and Degredation, I just enjoy Signature Equipment even more.

I love the idea of my Dragonborn having a special weapon that he has always used, which will eventually be a legendary artefact in future generations.

Especially if said legendary weapon is a run of the mill, standard issue imperial blade.

A standard issue imperial blade soaked in the blood of daedra, dragons, and many many bandits.

Same. I just use Honed Metal to have my character's equipment maintained so I don't have to invest in crafting. It also works out better for me because I prefer a slower realistic playthrough.

Hey, thanks! Always nice to get a shout-out.

You're very much welcome!

I love this mod so much. I am definitely the kind of player who cares more about making my character look stylish rather than always equipping the best gear I can find, so this mod is incredibly helpful.

Exactly, I was so lucky to find it since I'm a huge fan of the Zikoru Swords Collection, only problem is that by default the swords are very weak at the start, now with this mod I can play whatever weapon or armor mod I want without having to worry about them later in the game! I feel like It deserves to be mentioned in every equipment mod.

Ooh, I love the look of those swords. Very elegant and realistic. Thanks for introducing me to a new mod!

kind of redundant with project proteus. it saves so many esp slots.

I can’t quite figure out the best way to use that mod. It’s too powerful for my smooth brain.

I want to love Proteus but it crashes whenever I try to save a character. Guess I just need to reduce save bloat?

I'm using this too, it really does well in making your favourite weapon truly yours!

I play an elf archer (shock I know, but ordinator makes it much more balanced) and I like the idea that my wood elf uses elven weapons. So it's nice to be able to keep one and it still be viable till the end!

Yeah, it also works for followers.

Same. Such a cool mod. It works ALL the time for my character but it's pretty hit and miss with my followers. I don't give a shit though, my followers aren't FUCKIN LEGENDS like me

Love this mod, kinda still wish it worked with Loot and Degradation but it's completely understandable why it doesn't.

Yeah. It is a must-have mod for me as well. Very often in Skyrim I find myself disliking the design of weapons or armors, and perhaps I have a problem in general with Bethesda's stylistic choices. Studded armor and a beige hood are iconic, as well as the steel sword (steel weapons have been very well designed).

If I understand Right, the mod actually tempers the equipment? Which would mean that smithing is made obsolete then? Or am I missing something?

1
T1eaOP•

No you can upgrade it if you please on any Grindstone, the mod makes it so if you for example you kill a bunch of bandits or enemies of any sort the weapons and armor you're wearing during it scales in value and stats, but only those specific pieces you have on you, so say if you added modded weapons to your game and you used them for a while they will scale, same as any weapons or armor in the game, it doesn't tamper with anything, it just gives them scaling as you're going. It doesn't exactly make smiting obsolete it just makes it so it's not the stopping point for your favorite piece.

2
coffeeandcerealsSolitude•

yeah so i've used it a bit. the mod changes items in the background as if they are being tempered. so a weapon or armor piece is getting the (fine), (superior) etc nametags on it as if you'd upgrade them through smithing. this is what i mean, smithing gets obsolete and that's not nice if you've already invested in that skill tree :(

Smithing isn’t made obsolete, it’s just not essential with this mod. Smithing still provides major benefits in two areas. It provides an immediate major upgrade for your gear, and you can improve the gear more than you will likely ever achieve without it.

Major diminishing returns kick in for gear upgraded through use. By the time you’ve reached legendary status, it will take dozens of hours to reach the next theoretical tier. There’s no cap unless you set it, but the time investment required places a soft cap. Smithing faces no such diminishing returns. You can temper as high as your skill permits, and you can do so with new gear you’ve invested no time into.

Signature Equipment provides an alternative (sub-optimal and lengthy) path if players want to ignore smithing and commit to their gear.
