ZebutroN Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 so i think it'd be an awesome throwback to diablo II, dark alliance and champions of norath, to name a few, if you could find/create enchanted gems/figurines. the enchanted gems could be used on a weapon to bestow/recharge a permanent enchantment on it as if the weapon were "socketed" without the use of soulgems or the enchanting skill/table. the different variations of gem types and cuts would offer different bonuses and values for those bonuses respectively. these gems would either be consumed when put on a weapon/armor or even if they were worn that would be just fine. if this is possible or something you would like to see in skyrim let your voice be heard! also if unidentified weapons/armor with greater variance in damage/armor could be a thing that'd be so rad! http://ss.d2img.com/rainbowfacetlightningdeath.jpg http://d2foryou.com/wp-content/uploads/Unid-Anni.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleork Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Might be the closest you can find right nowhttp://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24314/? If I knew of a way to put sockets in item, I would have done that instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZebutroN Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 this is pretty damn close to what i wanted! im not sure what slot conflicts id have though as i use, Bandolier, and Hmm What to Wear as well as some other random armor mods that use other slots like ashara's potw and what not. but hey, there are only so many slots so this really is exactly what i was looking for! thankyou! for making the mod and suggesting it to me! any idea about if identifying items is a possibility?

GrimyBunyip Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 GELO has a very rudimentary socket enchantment for armor. (not weapons atm), along with the whole identify and multiproperty enchantment thing. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/65866/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofgren Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Isn't this pretty much a more limited version of the enchanting system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimyBunyip Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) I guess you could say that based off the fact that you don't hand pick the enchantments. But GELO is based around diablo style loot afterall. I take it you're not a fan of diablo style loot? Edited June 12, 2015 by GrimyBunyip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofgren Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I just read "gems that add enchantments to weapons and armor based on quality and cut and are consumed when used" and I think "So... soul gems." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when you do so, it replaces the socket enchantment with a new enchantment depending on the type and number of gems you stuck in. Didn't realize you were just talking about gem socketing specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZebutroN Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 I just read "gems that add enchantments to weapons and armor based on quality and cut and are consumed when used" and I think "So... soul gem similar but soul gems to me are merely vessels of energy used to focus previously learned magic ability to acheive a specified result determined by the magic user. whereas these "enchanted" gemstones contain specific abilties naturally, able to be used by those with little to no magic aptitude. it may just seem like splitting hairs when it comes to pen and paper results but i personally find a curiousity in gemstones (and crystal energies) and the idea of the stone itself having power derived from nature, ancient lost practices, or its orgins just generally being shrouded in mystery. soul gems are no mystery and are the tools of mages, despite being commonly used by warriors and other non-magic users, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
