[SSE] Need a trader for the lazy enchanter/alchemist

[StDrake]

Didn't want to use mods other than USSEP for my first run, but the rarity of curios overwhelmed me and so I come here for help.

Although I'd ask for the help to be balanced - so I'd rather not use mods adding fortify enchanting enchantments (which would just lead to a simple loop)

 

I'd prefer a trader to sell things to make upgrading and enchanting gear easier - simplest if said trader would just sell +127% fortify enchanting potions - the best obtainable without exploits according to UESP. Some slightly weaker variants like 80% would be sufficient as well.

 

And just so it's not that simple it would be nice to lock that trade possibility behind a quest - just a simple one to test if the player already has enough skill that he could make such a potion themselves..after grinding caravans for those rare curio ingredients long enough. Is it possible for a quest to require skill levels or particular enchantments on an item?

Call the trader the Stubborn Argonian Alchemist or something like that for flavour in case other people would like to make use of it as well.

 

Is that a lot to ask for?

I might be able to put this together. While a full blown quest might be a tall order, I think I can make it so that some dialogue only appears if you have a certain skill level in enchanting or "whatever." What I might do is to have a front man like I do in my mod and then the regular vendor. If you can get by the front man then you can use the vendor. I'll try to make it as entertaining as my vendor so it's "worth the trip."

 

I am a bit busy but I could see if I can have this done at the end of next weekend. Where should this vendor have their shop?

Doing quests for Delvin and Vex gradually unlocks fences in other towns and at some time Khajit caravans start featuring an additional trader serving as a fence. All that in vanilla

How about adding them as a coworker to Arcadias Cauldron? Or some other already exising alchemist shop that only has one NPC running it

That's a possibility but let's see if you like what I am coming up with. I think it might be unique enough to be enjoyable.

 

Well, as much as you can find going to a "store" to buy a potion "enjoyable."

 

It will be a little different though. :cool:
