MAGE'S TRAVEL CHEST: Comes with: Armored Mage/Monk Outfits, Iron Chef Outfits & weapons, Heavy & Light Armor Presets

****************************
WHAT IS IT?
****************************
The Mages Travel Chest: A chest full of Mage & Monk outfits, Iron Chef outfits & weapons, and Light Armor & Heavy Armor Presets. The Mage & Monk outfits have all had a Light Armor rating applied to them. There are close to 120 items total in the chest, and all are either light or heavy armor. You can choose from 28 Preset outfits or select individual robes, hoods, boots, & gloves. All of the items are upgradable at the 'Armor Crafting Table'. The Light & Heavy armor sets are stock vanilla from the game, so they can be upgraded like normal. If you already have a set that's you've upgraded you can replace the set in the chest and it will be available in the menu. It has to be the same exact armor though. For instance, if you have a set of Orcish armor that you've been upgrading. You can put them in the Mage's Travel Chest and when you select 'Orcish' in the menu, your armor will be equipped. It won't work with variations of the armor, such as the different flavors of Steel armor. It has to be the same as what is already in the chest.

****************************
WHERE TO GET IT:
****************************
When the mod is first enabled and the game is launched, you will see message asking if you'd like to 'Receive It Now' or 'Purchase From Riverwood Trader'.

If you choose to 'Receive It Now', the 'Mage's Travel Chest' along with the 'Mage's Outfit Qwik-Change' token will be added to your inventory. The chest inventory will then open. This done purely for programming reasons and you can close it by pressing the <Tab> key.

If you choose 'Purchase From Riverwood Trader', the chest will be place in Lucen Valerius' inventory at the Riverwood Trader, where you can purchase it. (the Qwik-Change token will be inside the chest.) You will need to open the chest by clicking on the 'Mage's Travel Chest' in your inventory, then click on the 'Mage's Outfit Qwik-Change' token to add it into your regular inventory.

**********************************
HOW TO USE IT
**********************************
After receiving or purchasing the items, you'll see the [] in your inventory in the Armor section. Just select it by clicking on it and then exit the inventory. This will cause the chest's inventory to open allowing you to retrieve and/or store your outfits (you can also store any other items there). Alternatively, you can assign a hotkey to the chest (make it a 'Favorite' then assign it a number key). This will enable you to access it without going into your inventory menu.

*********************************
TROUBLESHOOTING
*********************************
Updates to this mod should are quest driven so they should go smoothly. An update message will appear telling you that it's been updated. You'll need to re-hotkey the token (if you want it hotkeyed, that is). The travel chest isn't removed or replaced during an update, so your stuff should still be there.

If the menus don't respond after repeated use, just give it a few seconds. There are a lot of array searches and iterations going on and some procedures take a few seconds. This is especially true when you are storing things back in the chest using the menu as it needs to cycle through all of the items and determine which ones aren't equipped so it can store them.

If you change outfits a lot, then you will start to get outfits stacking up in your inventory causing a weight gain. Just store them back in the chest either by using the menu or by opening the chest and manually storing them.
