Morrowind Beast Race Boots

In Morrowind, beast races like the khajiit and argonians cannot wear boots because they do not fit their legs. This mod adds special footwear to the game called leggings, designed specifically for beast races. If you play a character of any beast race who wears armor then consider checking this out. I'm fairly new to Morrowind, but my favorite races to play in ES games are the argonian and khajiit. Right now, I'm playing as a khajiit, and the inability to wear helmets or boots, is just. I knew they were unable to before I chose khajiit anyway, but I underestimated how much it would suck. Being unable to wear two very important armor pieces seems like a major handicap.

Quick Walkthrough[edit]

1. Meet Pemenie on the road northwest of Caldera.
2. (Optional) Escort her to Gnaar Mok.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Pemenie needs an escort[edit]

Find the trader Pemenie on the road northwest of Caldera on the way to Ald'ruhn. She will ask you to escort her to Gnaar Mok in return for the Boots of Blinding Speed.

Your reward has a Flaw[edit]

Agree to do so and escort her to Gnaar Mok to the west. Either walk directly there, or if you want to avoid fighting any creatures, simply walk back to Caldera and then fast travel via guild guide to Vivec and take the boat from there, and Pemenie will follow the entire way. Once you enter Gnaar Mok, you will be rewarded with the boots. The boots Fortify Speed by 200 points but also have a 100% Blind spell on them, meaning you'll be fast, but have no idea where you're going unless you navigate using the minimap in the corner of your screen.

Wearing the Boots[edit]

• The trick to using the boots is to use a Resist Magicka spell or item before equipping them. If you have 50% Resist Magicka, you'll only be 50% blind, meaning that things will be a bit darker and enemies will be tougher to hit (with weapon skills under 30, you may not be able to hit anything at all).
• The easiest way to get to 100% Resist Magicka is to buy Cheap Resist Magicka potions from Eris Telas in the High Fane (he restocks it, and also sells to anyone regardless of faction rank or membership). Each potion costs around 15 septims, and can be stacked. This even works for races with Magicka Weakness, like Altmer; you just need to buy more potions.
• You can also cast a Resist Magicka 100% for a couple of seconds (buy a custom spell or a custom enchanted item) and then equip the Boots of Blinding Speed before the time expires to avoid all negative repercussions. Since the spell has such a short time of effect it will be relatively reliable and easy to cast. If however, you are already suffering from Weakness to Magicka, you will be unable to do this with just one spell because the Resist Magicka 100% will be counteracted by your Weakness to Magicka. You can still reach 100% resistance by stacking multiple magical effects from different sources (even just identical custom spells with different names will work, although activated enchanted items may be more effective due to their instant casting.)
• Night Eye will brighten your vision and help counteract the blinding effect if it cannot be resisted 100%.
• The Cuirass of the Savior's Hide is very useful with the boots, as it gives you 60% resist magicka.
• Bretons have a racial ability of 50% resist Magicka, so a Breton equipping the boots will only get a 50% Blind effect, which is quite bearable.
• If you don't have 100% magicka resistance when equipping the boots, you can simply adjust the brightness of the game in the video options to see better, but a partial Blind will still have a negative effect on your ability to hit enemies.
• While wearing the boots, a weak 1 point Levitate (as provided by e.g. the Wizard's Staff) will make you fly at a comfortable speed.
• Beware that the boots have very low durability. If they are broken in a fight, they will be unequipped and you will be slow again.

Notes[edit]

• You can find out from people in Caldera or Gnaar Mok that Pemenie is a wanted felon with a bounty on her head. If you talk to her repeatedly about bounty, she will eventually stop following you. If you continue talking about her bounty she will attack you. If you kill her then you will be able to get the Boots of Blinding Speed regardless of whether you took her to Gnaar Mok or not.

• If you have the Tribunal expansion, you can donate the boots to the Museum of Artifacts in Mournhold to help you with a quest.

Quest Stages[edit]

The following Quest_ID and Index codes can be used with the Journal Console command to manually update the quest to a certain point.

Below is general information on clothing (including jewelry, excluding armor) in Morrowind, followed by a list of all base, unenchanted clothing items in the main game (see also Tribunal:Base Clothing and Bloodmoon:Base Clothing for such items provided by the expansions).

Enchant Point Values

The Enchant values shown here are as used in-game. A fraction value shown here will be displayed truncated in-game. The Construction Set uses these values times ten for increased precision.

Gold-to-Enchant Ratio

As a rule of thumb, the gold value of clothing is twice its Enchant points. Exceptions are the Imperial Templar Belt and Gondolier Shirt (underpriced for their enchantability, which is slightly above Expensive level), and the Imperial Belt, Indoril Belt, Imperial Skirt, and Imperial Templar Skirt (all over-priced, with 0.5 enchantment points, which should have translated to a value of 1 septim).

Gender Neutrality

Most clothing, like armor, in the game can be worn by either gender, though the meshes of some are clearly designed for one gender or the other and will look funny if not on the right one (e.g. the red and black common shirt looks distorted on a woman). Some of the items have highly distinct meshes for each gender; for example, a shirt that visibly is a shirt–vest combo on a male may appear as a similar shirt–bodice combo on a female.

Compatibility

Skirts and pants are not mutually exclusive; you can wear both at the same time. Two clothing items, gloves and shoes, cannot be worn with their armor equivalents (gauntlets/bracers, and boots, respectively); these are the only clothing–armor incompatibilities. Only one of each item may be worn at any given time, except for rings (you can equip two).

Race Restrictions

Shoes (like boots) cannot be worn by the beast races (Khajiit and Argonian), only by the various human and elf varieties.

Enchantment Effects and Equipping

A Constant Effect item must be equipped for its effect to be active. It is not necessary to manually equip an item to use a Cast When Used enchantment it has; simply select it from Magic window, and cast in magic mode (versus weapon mode). Note that this may replace a previously equipped item of the same sort (it will definitely do so for anything but rings). If a specific item is desired to be worn most of the time, it must be re-equipped after using another item of the same sort that has replaced it as the equipped item of that type. An item with only a Constant Effect enchantment does not appear in the Magic window, so it must always be manually equipped from the Apparel or Magic panes of the Inventory window. Cast When Strikes enchantments do not apply to clothing items.

Visibility

Pants, shirts, and gloves are worn under armor. Skirts are worn over pants, greaves, and sometimes the tops of boots. Robes cover everything but large pauldrons, tips of boots/shoes, and hands of gauntlets/gloves (and of course helms and shields). Rings and belts are not visible on NPCs, nor on the player character's 'paper doll' in the inventory screen, but only as inventory icons, or as idle items on the ground or another surface.

Merchants

As with armor, if you sell to a merchant (who buys and sells clothing) any clothing item that is worth more than what they are wearing of the same type, they'll equip the better item you've sold them, and it will not be among the items they have for sale (though what they were wearing before will be).

Companions

A companion (follower) NPC with inventory sharing – namely Calvus Horatius in the Tribunal expansion – will benefit from many Constant Effect enchanted clothing items (other than those which do not pertain to such an NPC, such as Fortify Mercantile). The AddItemConsole command can be used to give such items to other followers who pre-date the expansion and do not have inventory sharing, such as Fjorgeir. Followers' AI is limited, and they will only use Cast When Used enchantments in combat, and only if the item has an offensive effect. A very useful Constant Effect is Water Breathing, especially if you do not have a good target/touch spell for this; companions will blissfully follow you underwater until they drown (you'll hear them gurgling when running out of air). If a companion has equipped a Constant Effect item and you give them another item of the same type that has a higher gold value, they will equip that new item instead, for as long as they have it in their inventory.

Amulets[edit]

Belts[edit]

Note: Belts are not visible on the player or NPCs. Visibly apparent belts on characters are actually part of pants, shirts, robes, or armor.

Gloves[edit]

Note: You cannot wear gloves and gauntlets or bracers at the same time.

Pants[edit]

Note: May be worn with a skirt. (British English: 'trousers' are what is meant here, not 'underpants'.)

Gloves[edit]

Note: You cannot wear gloves and gauntlets or bracers at the same time.

Robes[edit]

Note: Worn over other clothes and most armor.

Shirts[edit]

Skirts[edit]

Note: You can wear skirts as any race or gender (males may think of them as kilts or pteruges if they like). May be worn with pants.
