[Dragoness] Vault Guardian - NPC Gear Overhaul

Version: 1.1

Author's Comments:

"Lord Commander Aymeric, we have seen your recent improvements to the weapons and armor of the Temple Knights. While we have not been in your good graces since the incident involving your capture I would ask thee for succor. The end of the Dragonsong War has brought to those of us who remain enlightenment, and we would like to be proactive and contribute to the betterment of not just Ishgard but those who have vanished from the Fury's sight. It is our duty to spread Halone's benevolence to all of her children."

A massive gear overhaul aimed at completely revamping the armor of the elite enemies found within The Vault. Replaces all armor from The Vault for all Talls and, because Square Enix made some very interesting design decisions, also replaces the Ishgardian Outrider set and its variants worn by the Vault elite enemies.
If you wanna make the mod work as an NPC replacer you will need to make a Penumbra collection specifically for the Vault enemies. Those being: Vault Auditor, Vault Ostiary, Vault Friar, and Vault Deacon. Due to complications, I have not replaced the Vault Priest gear but there is a caster and healing set included in the mod

There is no proper dye channels for this gear, and wearing gloves longer than your wrist is not supported so please use short gloves and advanced dyes. Furthermore there will likely be clipping on the helmets and the Maiming chest piece.

I'll hopefully get the Vault Priest and the Ward Mage gear properly set up at a later date. I'm just at a point where I'm fed up trying to make this work on NPCs after everything.

If you enjoy the mod and would like another mod to further enhance Ishgard I suggest downloading my other mod, Heavy Ishgardian Armor: https://www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/151406

If you have any feedback or bug reports, please direct those to my Bluesky.
