Skyrim SE crafting alternative mod.

[XGrinNBarrettX]

I don't know if there is a mod like this already, or if it would really be possible to make in any good capacity but I really want a mod that would give a good alternative for crafting to get higher tier weapons and armor. My thought would be to have new options for blacksmiths that would allow them to craft weapons or armor for you if you provide them with the materials and gold. I don't really know how to properly balance something like that, maybe have schematics for higher tiered items (like a schematic for dragon and daedric weapons and armor.) be lootable from specific enemys, like kill a high level daedra for a daedric schematic and a dragon for the dragon schematic or make it in a chest at a dragon shrine. Make blacksmiths able to upgrade weapons and armor by a certain amount based on their skill level, so Eorland Graymane could make thing legendary but a less experienced smith could only take it as far as say flawless or so depending on their skill. As for enchanting maybe have certain members of the College of Winterhold be able to apply effects to weapons and armor, have a destruction specialist, a restoration specialist so on and so forth. The greater the soul gem the stronger the enchantment they can apply to your gear. For alchemy have something similar bring in ingredients to an alchemist and for a price and they can make you potions and poisons, the more or maybe stronger ingredients you bring them the stronger the potion or poison they can make for you.

 

Also make weapons and armor re-nameable in the crafting or enchanting process.

Both weapons and armor are already renameable when enchanting.

 

Just prior to creating the item, after you've select the soul gem you're going to use to infuse it, press the F key to rename the item.

 

(Make sure not to let the cursor slide off the chosen soul gem though, or you'll have to rename all over again prior to creating the enchanted, renamed object.)

 

so

1. open enchanting menu
2. select item to enchant
3. select enchantment
4. select gem to use for infusion
5. rename item (while cursor is still atop the selected soul gem!)
6. create enchanted item.
