📋 About This Mod

Rare Weapons

Requires Trespasser DLC to work.

There are quite a few attractive weapons in the game that lack schematics, are hard to obtain, or when you do obtain them, their level is too low to be of any use. Stormbreak is a classic example. You need the Short List perk to be able to buy it, and it's only level 8.

What I'm attempting to do with this mod is take some tier 1 schematics and re-purpose them to allow some of these other weapons to be crafted. I've tried to make them high tier 4 yet hopefully not overpowered.

But please bear in mind that this mod is intended for Inquisition veterans on their Nth playthrough who've been there, done that and are thoroughly sick of farming for schematics.  Likely you'll already have most of the best ones available through the Golden Nug at the beginning of the game in Haven anyway.  Want to craft these weapons at level 2 and still have a challenge?  Turn the difficulty up to nightmare or try my Pandemonium Difficulty Setting mod.

This is the current list. All schematics allow masterwork crafting in addition to the special abilities they already possess:

[]Stormbreak - Can only take runes, so I've given it a high base damage.  Uses the tier 1 Apostate Staff schematic. Now has the "permashock" ability. Seawreck has some nice recolours of the staff here that work with this mod.

[]Deathward - Metal offense and can take upgrades.  Uses the tier 1 Keeper Staff schematic. Now has the "heal 1% of maximum health on hit" ability.

[]Yavanalis - Hawke's Key model from DA2. Rune only. Uses the tier 1 apprentice staff schematic. Also has the permafrost ability.

[]Tyrdda's Staff - Rune only. Has the permaflame passive ability. Unlike the other, this one uses a tier 2 schematic - the disciple staff.

[]Single Incarnation - Can only take runes.  Uses the tier 1 double-bearded axe schematic. Has the unique leaping attack ability.

[]Certainty - Meredith/Samson's sword. Rune only. Uses the tier 1 fereldan greatsword schematic. Chance for shield bash.

[]Refined Greatword - Closest sword I could find to the Inquisitor's cut-scene model that is usable in game. Also has the "rampage" ability (extra damage on kill). Uses the tier 1 maul schematic.

[]Starfang - A Multiplayer only weapon I think.  This one uses the tier 1 Templar Greatsword schematic. Now has the chance for unb
