The armor itself stayed the same defense wise, I just found the enchantments to be lacking. Either they were too much, too little, or just didn't fit a thieving lifestyle.

My smithing skill is at 60 and I have the arcane blacksmith perk, but when I try to improve it I get 'You lack the perk to improve magical items. I know there may be several others out there, but none of them appealed to me. Im trying to improve my guild masters armor from the thieves guild. I corrected that oversight and hope you enjoy it. This includes the light and dark versions of the standard guild armor, the guildmasters armor and even Karliahs unique armor. It now includes all of the theives guild armors for both male and female. Oh and as an extra surprise, you can wear the hood with any circlet. Welcome to the first full release, now in Hi-Res DESCRIPTION This mod now re-textures the entire guild to a theme of black and silver. I made the Barter bonus 40% to not break the balance, but gaveLocksmithing a 50% bonus. It made more sense to me that the hood gave locksmithing. This gives an lockpicking bonus as well as a bonus to bartering. Using the same mesh there's Crimson Ranger Armor - I think there's a dark texture for it too - has a female version. Armor of Intrigue looks pretty good but is male only. The Sneak enchantment gives a 50% bonus, so its an improvement over handmade versions. It adds some chainmail, a face cover and I think a pouch or two similar to the Bandoliers mod. And yes my dear readers, this muffle does have a magnitude of 1, just like the handmade ones. Why in the world does the boots have pickpocketing in the first place? Do you just kick people's pockets or something? So I did away with the pickpocket enchantment and replaced it with Sneak and muffle enchantments. They are better than handmade enchants too! They give 50% bonus. Includes all variants of the armor: standard, Guild Master, Linwes/Blackguard and Karliahs. I made the gloves give bonuses to One handed and Pickpocketing. High resolution (4k and 2k available) retexture of Thieves Guilds armors. Increases your carry weight by 100 and your stamina by 50, so its a bit of a mash between Linwes and Thieves Guild armor. Oh and did I mention they all are dual enchanted? Thats always good. I overhauled the enchantments that I felt fit the thieving lifestyle. I could craft better enchantments of my own at home! So, I took a crack at making my own dream thief's armor that will make you feel rewarded. Its only a slight increase to the standard armor in my opinion. You just completed the Thieves Guild Questline right? You probably savescummed like I did admittedly trying to complete 5 jobs in the different holds just to get your hands on that sweet sweet black armor of the Guildmaster.
