📋 About This Mod
This mod enables the creation of fine, superior, exquisite, flawless, epic and legendary versions of the fletched arrows and bolts introduced in Nock To Tip V0. 430. In addition, this mod enables the crafting of all arrowheads save for the nordic, stalhrim and fine steel arrowheads. In turn, arrows that utilise these components are currently not supported. Refer to Issues at the end for an explanation.
Crafting for fletching components such as feathers, nocks and bolt shafts have also been added, mainly due to conflicts that other mods introduce to levelling lists. The fletching feather recipes will be subject to alteration in a future version, as I have initially gone off the weight of the individual feathers to begin with. These may be revised from the current 10 of either hawk or hagraven feathers down to 5, subject to feedback. If/when foster xbl release a newer verison of Nock To Tip with these addtional recipes, the next version will remove them to avoid conflicts.
The arrowheads in question can be crafted at the forge using one of the relative ingots, provided you have the requisite smithing skills. For the silver arrow heads, the steel smithing skill is required. Alternatively, you can create them at the fletching table using 25 each of the normal steel, elven, etc. versions of the arrows, including the ancient nord arrows.
The improved arrows and bolts are crafted at the fletching station, and are staged according to the players marksman skill. For example, if you have a marksman skill between 14 and 21, you will only see the fine fletched arrows and bolt recipes are available. The same goes accordingly for the superior, exquisite, etc versions. This was done deliberately in order to avoid cluttering occuring in the crafting menus. For those who already have my original mod, yes, this is forthcoming in a new version.
Crafting the improved fletched arrows and bolts requires 25 of the fletched arrows and bolts and 1 of the matching arrowheads. The required marksman skill for each level is as follows:
Fine: 14-21 Superior: 22-39 Exquisite: 40-56 Flawless: 57-73 Epic: 74-90 Legendary: 91+
Fletching component crafting: 25 Bolt Shafts: 5 Firewood 25 Nocks: 5 Firewood 1 Sack Of Feathers: 10 Hawk Feathers or 10 Hagraven Feathers
Arrowheads:
Fletching Table Recipes Ancient Nord: 25 Ancient Nord Arrows Daedric: 25 Daedric Arrows Dwarven: 25 Dwarven Arrows Ebony: 25 Ebony Arrows Elven: 25 Elven Arrows Glass: 25 Glass Arrows Orcish: 25 Orcish Arrows Steel: 25 Steel Arrows
