Spectral Farmer: Speedy Harvest Helper

Description
Requires SKSE
Inspired by the Oblivion mod Gather Ye Rosebuds

This mod adds 3 conjuration spells (available as tomes wherever analogous spells are sold):

Summon Spectral Farmer Lesser
The farmer appears and gathers no more than 10 ingredients from the players current cell. The farmer then dies, and all items are transferred to the player.

Summon Spectral Farmer Greater
The farmer appears and gathers no more than 50 ingredients from the players current cell. The farmer then dies, and all items are transferred to the player.

Summon Spectral Farmer
The farmer appears and follows the player until death. He has no combat abilities and will flee from enemies. The farmer will periodically check the current cell and harvest all plants. For players like me who feel compelled to harvest every flower along the road, this will allow you to enjoy the sights instead. He may not get everything, but he'll get quite a bit. He'll get more if you walk slowly. Farmer can be spoken to at any time to retrieve his harvest(uses a vanilla voice and shared dialogue), and all items will be transferred to the player upon death.

The Spectral Farmer does not count as a follower or as a summoned creature, but only one farmer can be summoned at a time. Anything that is categorized as a flora or tree will be harvested, so your farmer is likely to give you eggs and fish.

Spectral Farmer was designed to be compatible with flora mods and dlc, please let me know if you run into any problems.

Update requests may be addressed next time I want a break from my larger mod. You may be interested in my modding blog: henshumods.tumblr.com

An excellent idea! I love how it blends conjuration with necromancy to create a skyrim-themed minion! Sadly, the spell does not work as intended. It summons the farmer, who then dies instantly. I then receive a message "Ingredients transferred", but receive no items. The spell does work as a way to power level conjuration, I suppose, but I am just a bit saddened that it doesn't work as intended. I'd have loved to of used horses for transit and allowed the spectral farmer to pick up those precious alchemical supplies along the old roads of Skyrim.

You should add the link instead of just saying SKSE. It'll make it more obvious that there's a requirement people have to install first. Without it this mod doesn't fail to load or crash, it still lets you buy the spells and cast them, they just don't work, which is not obvious because it still says "ingredients transferred".

They all say Apprentice?? Oh, that's embarassing. Thanks, it might take me a long time to get around to publishing a new version becuase I kind of got halfway through redesigning it with a new questline and everything... But I'll make sure to include that edit, if I ever finish it.

ahh okay. So from what your saying the lvl of the spells in game is incorrect. They all say 'Apprentice'. I've got 'Adept' level perk.
I had posted more but i forgot about the enchant 'Fortify Conjuration'. Now I can try it out. Thank you for the replies. Could you maybe change it so each spell lists the correct lvl? Not a big deal though if it's too much work to do.
Henshu  [author] 19 May, 2018 @ 2:33pm 
Yeah it looks like I copied all of the numbers from the flame atronach spells. The base cost for summoning a thrall is 900, which means if you had the master perk and conjuration lvl 100 it would cost 270. You can take that down further with enchanted equipment.
Henshu  [author] 19 May, 2018 @ 2:23pm 
It's been a reaallly long time but I think I based the magicka cost on other conjuration spells. That does sound like a lot though! I'll fire up the creation kit and take a look...
Truthowl 19 May, 2018 @ 6:47am 
Holy Crap on a Cracker!!! Spectral Farmer costs 610magika to cast? And that's after the Apprentice spell reduction perk. How are we supposed to get 610 magika to cast this?
Truthowl 6 May, 2018 @ 9:30am 
Okay than kyou. I guess I'm just not skilled enough yet.
Henshu  [author] 6 May, 2018 @ 8:51am 
Hi Truthowl, Summon Spectral Farmer is a master level conjuration spell and may not appear until your skill is high enough. If you are seeing other thrall summoning spells but not Summon Spectral Farmer, then there might be a conflict.

Where do we get the Spectral Farmer book? I went to the college and bought Spectral Farmer greater and they also had the lesser. But I did not buy the lesser only the greater. But they did not have just Summon Spectral Farmer. So then I went to Dragonreach and checked with Farengar. He also had Great and Lesser but no plain Summon Spectral Farmer.
