Getting and Using Valkyrie and Phoenix Mage Armor
The mod adds two custom 3D mage armor sets, each with its own perk. Pick the one that fits how you fight.
Choosing a Set
Valkyrie Mage Armor
- Has animated 3D wings.
- Gives faster spell casting while you are floating in mid-air.
- Best for players who fight while airborne, for example under the slow falling from Aerwhale Song.
Phoenix Mage Armor
- Grants lava immunity.
- Saves you from a lethal hit with a fiery blast and health recovery.
- Best for dangerous fights like the Sun Spirit or a Solar Altar, where one mistake could kill you.
Upgrading Your Armor
The mod uses smithing templates to turn regular armor pieces into these magical mage sets.
1. Get the matching
smithing template. Shrine loot chests are a good place to look for rare items.
2. Place the template, your regular armor piece, and any required material into a smithing table.
3. Take the upgraded mage piece out of the result slot.
4. Repeat for each slot. Hover over items in your recipe viewer to check the exact template and material each piece needs.
Making the Most of the Perks
- With Valkyrie armor, cast your heavy spells mid-jump or while falling to get the casting speed boost.
- With Phoenix armor, remember the cheat-death effect is an emergency save. Back off and heal after it triggers instead of pushing on.
- Pair either set with magical rings, pendants, and gloves to round out your build.
