[size=+1]Why do we need More Interesting Loot for Skyrim?[/size]

Imagine if you will. The roads are no longer safe and the Jarl calls upon your help. A gang of savage bandits have been marauding the countryside, robbing and murdering travelers, merchants, and caravans alike. The Jarl wants YOU to find their hide-out and put an end to their vile deeds. Think of the action and adventure that awaits! Think of the fame and glory. Think of the LOOT!

Aha! That must be their treasure chest, where a horde of ill-gotten gains must be stored. You pick the lock, expertly avoiding the deadly booby-trap. For all that has been risked, a reward fitting of a true hero.

[size=-1] 1 Petty Soulgem
1 Steel Sword
10 Iron Arrows
28 Gold[/size][size=0] [/size]

Wait. they keep their loot in here, right? Where’s the freaking loot?! I risked my a** for this crap?! What the hell?! The Jarl can kiss my freaking a**!

[size=+1]What does this Mod do?[/size]

This Mod helps to address the above, unfortunate, reality by 1) adding a large variety of brand-new items (mostly magical) to find; and 2) adjusting the various «boss» treasure chests to have a likely possibility of having a larger quantity and more realistic type of items (both vanilla Skyrim and new from this Mod).

More Loot

It’s just not realistic, or most importantly fun, to have the final ultimate treasure chest be practically empty. This mod adds the possibility for most «boss» treasure chests to have many more new and vanilla items. Specifically, this mod adds More Interesting Loot to:

More Interesting Loot

As you advance through the world of Skyrim, the loot seems to get rather stale. There just isn’t that many interesting or unique items or combinations of loot out there. This Mod adds close to a thousand new items to the game, most magical, and most with multiple varieties.

[size=+1]Installation and Requirements[/size]

— Requires MCM (SkyUI).
— Requires Dawnguard AND Dragonborn DLCs for version 5.0 and higher.
— Install the mod normally (using the Nexus Mod Manager is highly recommended).
— Recommendation: Use BOSS or LOOT to set your load order. Despite where either puts the Mod, I recommend you put this Mod towards the end of your load order.
— Creating a bashed patch is also highly recommended to help ensure compatibility with other mods!

[size=+1]Examples of new Items[/size]

For a mostly complete list of all items, read the Article: Lists of Loot added to Skyrim (Minor Spoilers!)

New Enchanted Weapons

New Enchanted Armor & Clothing

New Enchanted Rings

Rings may have constant effects and/or allow the ability to cast spell-like effects. Many rings have multple strength varieties. Rarer rings have one or more special abilities and/or have very powerful constant effects. Some ring’s special abilities may only be used periodically.

Enchanted Amulets

Amulets may have constant effects and/or allow special abilities such as being able to cast spell-like effects. Many amulets have multiple strength varieties. Rarer amulets combine constant effects with one or more special abilities. Some amulet’s special abilities may only be used periodically.

New Potions

Most potions have multiple varieties and/or multiple strengths. Some potions are rarer than others and stronger potions are always rarer to find.

New Alchemy Ingredients

Many ingredients from Cyrodiil (Oblivion) and Morrowind including many of their alchemical effects have been added (trade across the border still happens!). I’ve attempted to keep the alchemy effects true to Oblivion where possible. Some effects not present in Skyrim have been re-created, as possible:

Note: as of version 5.5, there is an MCM option to enable or disable whether new ingredients added by this Mod are added to loot lists.

New Alchemy Books

There are a number of new alchemy books added to the game for purchase. These are special «recipe» books. They are not unlike the vanilla alchemy recipes you may find, but when reading them, you actually learn the ingredient effects mentioned in the book.

Books currently include recipes for most of the above ingredient effects from Oblivion (listed above) and a few have been added for vanilla Skyrim ingredients. More books will be added in the future!

[size=+1]Wow, how do I find this cool loot?[/size]

There are several ways:

None reported so far!

[size=+1]Features in Progress[/size]

This mod continues to be developed. Many items/features/tweaks are being worked on or otherwise on the agenda for future releases. Feedback and good ideas will be considered! A few major concepts are currently being tested:

Set Bonuses

Finding an item with a useful enchantment is pretty cool. Finding a second is also pretty cool. But what about finding a second item in a related set that unlocks a special power? Not just pretty cool. damn sweet!

In progress are a number of sets of items (typically armor or clothing) in which special enchantments are unlocked when wearing two, three, four, or more related items!

Side Effects

To help offset and balance the more powerful items, I’ve always thought that negative side effects would be fun. «This ring really kicks a**, but do I want to deal the side effects?» Choices and consequences add a lot of immersion in my opinion. Small side effects or big side effects. They could get really creative and hopefully fun.

Curses

There would need to be some method to remove the curse. Maybe a special spell or potion or something that could be found or purchased. As it is outside of the scope of this mod, I would probably avoid getting into any quests, etc.

Special Items

The idea behind these items are that in vanilla Skyrim (and this Mod), all enchanted items are immediately obvious that they’re magical and immediately obvious on what they do. Say that you’re a Nord brute named Ugh («me, Ugh. I like to swing heavy things.»). How is that you automatically know that amulet over there is a an «Amulet of Health: The wearer’s health is increase by 20 points and any attacks made on a bunny will cause it to explode.»

The special items are enchanted items (you can tell that from the glow and the little icon in your inventory), but beyond that, you have no idea what it does. Maybe the description simply says «You can feel an evil power emanating from this item». Or maybe simply the red glow indicates the item is really warm.

Maybe you should pick it up. Yeah, see what happens when you pick it up. Really. Ok, so you picked it up and immediately got dizzy (with cool visual effects) or immediately lost some health because the message just flashing on your screen tells you that the item is really hot.

In any case, the idea is that you don’t know what the item does until you 1) pick it up (might give a clue); 2) wield or wear it (might give other clues); and finally 3) try to use it. if it is a weapon you might have to use it against multiple types of enemies and pay attention to what happens.

So far, as a proof of concept, Ma’giik (this Mod’s main vendor, residing in the Bannered Mare), is a selling a «Dagger, Normal». Purchase it and try it out. See if you can figure out what it does. There are some hints in the discussion Posts.
