Armors & Outfits

Masterstroke adds many custom armors to the game, most of which are gated behind smithing perks, crafting manuals, or both. Some of them cannot be crafted, and must be found within the world. While you're meant to discover these yourself through gameplay, I've dug through the modlist and cataloged the means to find these armors below.

For much more information on the armors themselves, please look up them in the modlist and find their respective modpages pages.

This is non-comprehensive. If there's any information that's not up to date, or doesn't apply to the modlist please let us know.

Vanilla Armors

"Vanilla" refers to content that is present within an unmodified version of Skyrim. For Masterstroke we use the following mods to expand on the vanilla armors.

The Amazing World of Bikini Armors (or TAWOBA for short)

These are bikinified versions of the standard Skyrim armors. You can use the "Keep It Breezy" spells (found in the MCM) to transform the vanilla armor you're wearing, or find the Mythic Armor Books to craft the individual pieces. For these, you still need the various smithing perks associated with the metal type. There's a handy picture guide showing the book locations here:

The crafted variants of these armors are highly modular, occupying more slots that Skyrim had in the base game. For each slot, there can be up to 3 variants, and they can be mixed and matched for ultimate customization; they can even go well with other armor types as well!

For the Alteration Mage Robes perks, a lot of the accessory-type pieces as well as the gloves and boots can be equipped without disrupting the benefits of the perks. As a general rule of thumb, if the slot type doesn't say "Body" or "Cloak," the armor will work just fine.

Skimpy Mage Robes

These robes replace the standard robes in the Skimpy Bodyslide option in MO2. See List Customization for more information. They can be obtained outside of the Skimpy Bodyslide only by using the console. Type in help "bikini robe" into the console without the brackets for the item IDs.

"Unobtainable" Outfits

Like the Skimpy Mage Robes, these outfits can currently only be obtained outside of the only by using the console. Utilize the help command in the console without the to locate the item IDs.

Skimpy Variants of Outfits

If you enable the Skimpy Bodyslides, all of the armors and outfits found in Vanilla Skyrim will be replaced by skimpy variants. Unlike the mage robes, these cannot be spawned in through the console, you MUST have the Skimpy Bodyslide option to use these.

Craftable Armor Sets

This is in no particular order. Most of these recipes are done at a blacksmith crafting site, but some (like the milkmaid outfit) are done through a tanning rack. Some of these are also available in the world, I've listed these locations later in the article.
