  • 3. Description
  • ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • This mod allows you to craft all the standard weapon and armor types found in Oblivion, from a variety of new and existing materials. Metal equipment is fashioned from ores, which are smelted into ingots and then worked into weapons and armor. Fur and Leather armor are made from animal hides.
  • In order to get ores, you must either purchase them from merchants, or if larger amounts are required, they can be found in various mines around Cyrodiil. To mine a material, you must first equip a mining pick (available in most smithies) and have it unsheathed. Then, instead of hitting the rock, activate it and you\'ll swing the pick. Based on your Blunt skill and random chance, you may or may not receive an ore chunk. The veins will never run out, so if you wanted to, you could keep swinging with a low skill and eventually get tonnes of ore. There will never be a 100% chance to receive an ore chunk. In addition, there\'s a 3% chance you will instead unveil a gemstone. Each type of ore vein has one particular type of gemstone within. Note that some mines still contain the original Gold and Silver veins, which are containers. See \"detailed description.txt\" for info on where to find the new activator-type veins.
  • Ores are smelted into ingots by using special forges found in most of the main smithies throughout Cyrodiil, and the metal armours and weapons are crafted from these ingots using special smithing hammers, found next to the forges. Note that smelting will make the maximum number if ingots possible, based on what materials are available. In order to use the forges and hammers, you must be wearing both a pair of blacksmith\'s glo
