Clothing/armour mods? Where do you find them?

[Digital Fist]

128 hours into the game, and I've not seen a single one sold anywhere? All advice welcome. Some of them look very powerful. I have 12 Tech & Grease Monkey.

They are no longer found in clothing shops, except already installed in clothing items, or here and there as loot, usually as crafting patterns. If you get to Tech 16, you can disassemble clothing and other items but keep the mods to recycle into new items as appropriate.

No idea why CDPR felt the need to do this...

Armor mod recipes are randomly placed loot.

I've never seen an armor recipe.

Armor can only equip equal or lesser tier mods. This is dumb, because armor mods automatically tier up with crafting skill and lower tiers can no longer be built.

It's a problem. When I realized this I made a bunch of lower-level mods...I also salvage them from older garments for re-use. I can only do that because I've got 16+ points in Tech however.

Less of an issue now that the wardrobe system exists. You are given some legendary clothing schematics for leveling crafting, most of them look terrible but they do have legendary rarity to support the mods you can craft. And the looks can be fixed with the wardrobe. If I remember correctly the schematics unlock at or below the crafting level that makes your mods legendary.

If you only care about the way your V looks, the wardrobe setup is fine. If I want to change the actual clothing pieces...the wardrobe system is useless.

I like to assemble various clothing sets with specific qualities... percent damage against medium/high enemies; bonus against very high enemies; quickhack cooldown speed; stamina boost in melee, etc.
