  Short Guide for Wrye Bash, Synthesis, andMator Smash for OWL
  Please help correct any mistakes or share other methods for this, thanks
  Hi, I've been experimenting with how to get leveled lists to work well together with OWL. Personally I love how OWL distributes gear by selecting it from a group based on its class/type, but sometimes there's a problem where level 1 bandits can drop level 30 gear for example. This means that there is a conflict in the leveled lists either by load order or missing/incorrect patches. You'll often hear the term "Bashed patch" when it comes to leveled lists. This type of patch basically takes all of those leveled lists and organizes them to play well with each other to avoid the problem described earlier.

  For this we need the followi...

• About OWL Randomized Special Loot Addon

  In original OWL, the special loot level list (which mostly decide what gears you get in boss chests) will grant the weapon or armor of dedicated tier depending on your level and the zone's min/max level. While it creates a sense of progression, it lacks the randomness for me. Also in some of the patches, there are some of the high level gears put in lower tier sublist, which you will not get from chests once you pass through that level. But I do not want to simply add the probability to get all tier's gear by chance, because it is no fun to get an iron sword in vampire boss chest at high level.

  So to counter the above issue, I implemented an additional layer to the special loot level list in the Randomized Special Loot Addon. This new mechanic now divide the loot into 3 tiers:...

• How to Integrate Weapon and Armor Mods into OWL Gear Framework

  16 May 2021

  deletepch

  OWL applies sublist mechanic (the Gear Framework) to normal unenchanted gears, which enable easy integration of modded weapons and armors.

  There are 2 approach in creating integration patch for OWL.
  1. Create separate patch for each weapon and armor mod. And then use Wrye Bash to create bashed patch that combine various OWL patches, or use custom patch to resolve conflicts between patches.
  Pros: You can add and remove the gear mod and rebuild the bashed patch at will.
  Cons: You need to have some basic understanding of Wrye Bash. (Most IMPORTANTLY, proper bash tags in the patches are needed. )

  2. Create a mega custom patch that integrate all of the gear mods you use. (Not suitable for sharing the patch with other users. )
  Pros: You don't nee...
