Flounce's Forging Mod

v1.5
Better Imperial armor/weapons added to crafting.
Some recipes revised (Cheaper across the board)

Previous versions.
More craftables.


This mod adds unenchanted craftable unique armors and weapons.
It also fixes various item bugs and and removes the level requirements from certain items.


The items will become available for crafting after the player has access to the original. (Completed the quest you get in from anyway)
The perk 'Arcane Blacksmith' is needed for the enchanted items to be crafted.
Tempering bonus will be whatever category the item's are crafted under. I.e. The Ebony Blade will be crafted under Ebony so requires Ebony Smithing to reach Legendary.


I should mention this mod is directly inspried by this.

If you run both of these you will probably end up with 2 different unenchanted craftable versions.



The fixes here are very similar to these.
Some of my changes are different, which is why I've done it myself.

If you use 1 or more I would recommend loading mine last.


As this is part of my series of mods, it is meant to be played as part of a set. It is able to be used by itself but you will get the experience I intended if you use the pack.

***************************
If you find any issues or problems, however minor, while using this could you let me know so I can fix it.
Please make sure you have checked this mod is loading last before reporting bugs.
Of all my mods this is the one with the biggest potential for messing things up... So I would really appreciate reporting issues as soon as possible.

>>>>> Crafting <<<<<

--- NOTE, this mod is designed as part of my series. Items marked as being in the 'Studded' category will only receive a tempering bonus if you have another mod that adds it.
Like, for example, my crafting mod!



All *UNIQUE ENCHANTED* weapons and armors are unlocked with Arcane Blacksmith.
Semi-unique things like Blades stuff and Skyforge Steel weapons will require steel smithing
Original must have been acquired or unlocked.
