Hammer and Prongs - A Blacksmithing Mod

Hammer and Prongs introduces armor and weapon smithing to Morrowind through the Armorer skill. Using MWSE and The Crafting Framework, players can craft supported armors, weapons, and jewelry. Currently most vanilla items as well as those from TR Data and OAAB are supported.

The higher your Armorer skill, the higher the tier of items you can craft. For example, crafting ebony requires a high skill level, while netch leather is accessible at lower levels. As your skill increases, more items will become available in the crafting menus. Each item has specific material and tool requirements.

To begin smithing, simply approach an anvil and activate it. Smelting requires a smelter, while crafting jewelry requires purchasing and equipping a metal file. If you use Realistic Repair, Hammer and Prongs will automatically detect it and switch to using the bellows in front of the smelter for both anvil and smelter menus (this is currently the best solution; suggestions for improvement are welcome).

A key goal of Hammer and Prongs is maximum compatibility. It uses no vanilla scripting and makes no changes to existing vanilla items. However, new materials, books, and traders have been added.

The mod is designed to be modular: TR Data, OAAB, jewelry, and Daedric items are optional components. Some items are also faction specific, Legionnaire armor can only be crafted by those in the Imperial Legion and Morag Tong armor by those in the Morag Tong.

There is also an esm and two esps alongside it. The esm adds some custom materials and items and is required, while the one esp integrates them into the game via new traders. The other esp adds the materials to existing traders and leveled lists. They can be used together or individually. You are free to make add-ons for the esm as you wish.

To add additional mod files, place them in the respective mod folders. For example, added armor should go into MWSE -> mods -> Syanide -> HammerAndProngs -> Armor -> Mods.

Support for other mods is easy and encouraged. Mod authors should consult the Mod Authors article. Level requirements are also present in the article.

NOT compatible with OpenMW.

I highly recommend that you play with some form of OAAB and Tamriel_data content integration. Many of the materials will be hard to obtain without it.

There is a patch for the added glass material and Glass Glowset.

Currently supported mods - do not install the additional files without these mods present in your load order. You will get errors otherwise:

Integrated mods - these are mods that HaP integrates materials/tools from. By no means required and will function fine without:
