📋 About This Mod
This mod is updated to fix an issue where items weren\'t being repaired to 125% if the companion was Expert of Master armorer. Also fixed an issue where using the spell to remove the repair function didn\'t work for Expert and master armorer. Companions will repair and recharge their equipped gear automatically. They will also gain experience as they repair items. Companion Repair and Recharge CompanionRepair.esp This mod requires the latest version of OBSE (currently 17b) You can download OBSE here http://obse.silverlock.org/download/ This mod requires the OBSE plugin file \"RefStuff\" (included in this download) http://zenthought.org/content/project/refstuff When you start the mod with OBSE active is will check if the RefStuff plugin is installed. If all is ok there will be a message in the upper left corner saying \"Found RefStuff\" Otherwise there will be a pop up message saying Refstuff was not found. Description: Adds automated armor repair and weapon recharge for companions. Use the spell provided \"Companion Repair Spell\" to add a new item to your companion which makes it possible for them to repair/recharge equipped items. Details: Companions must be given repair hammers if you expect them to repair items. Repair hammers will break and be removed for the companion just as they are for the player. Companions will gain experience for repairing their equipped items. It takes about 100 hammers to get a companion from lvl 5 armorer to lvl 25 armorer. With every new rank in armorer like, novice, apprentice, journeyman, and so on they will use less hammers. At Expert Armorer they can repair items to 125%, and at master they wont break hammers anymore, but still need to have one for the repair to work. If your companion has enchanted armor or weapons they will not be able to repair them until they reach the level of journeyman armorer (lvl 50). If your companion has an enchanted weapon they will use soulgems to recharge it. You can give them soulgems that have already been filled by you, or ones you find already filled, and they will use them. You can also give them empty soulgems and a weapon enchanted with soul trap and they will fill their own gems, and then use them to recharge their weapon. Companions will check their equipped items about one time every minute of real time game play, and repair/recharge any items that need it, provided they have hammers/gems. Companions will not repair items while in combat. This mod will repair their items in real time, not just set the items to max health in an instant. You can see this happening if you open their inventory while they are repairing. You might see an item\'s health at 80%. If you close out their inventory for a few seconds then check again it may be 90%, or 91%, whatever. The rate at which they repair is largely controlled by your games frames per second. When your companion reaches lvl 50 Armorer they will be able to enchant weapons b
