📋 About This Mod

Allows you to craft dwarven minions to aid in battle and help carry your gear. ===================== Brief Description ===================== This mod allows you to use the forge to make blueprints for dwarven constructs. The blueprints are under the miscellaneous section of the crafting menu. The blueprints work like scrolls and let you make dwarven spiders, spheres, and guardians. Each dwarven construct takes different items to make them and different ranks of blacksmithing. ===================== What is Added ===================== -Mini Spider: Small and easy to destroy, but very easy to make. (Requirements: Leather and Steel Smithing; 1 Dwarven Oil, 1 Dwarven Ingot, 1 Petty Soulgem, and 2 Steel Ingots) -Spider Protector: Bigger version of the spider that is tougher and can carry 300(weight). (Requirements: Ancient Knowledge, Dwarven Smithing; 1 Dwarven Oil, 1 Common Soulgem, 2 Dwarven Gears, 2 Iron Ingots, and 4 Dwarven Ingots) -Sphere Knight: Higher health and slightly faster than the spider, the knight makes a decent tank and can carry 100(weight). (Requirements: Ancient Knowledge, Dwarven Smithing; 2 Dwarven Oil, 1 Dwarven Gyro, 1 Common Soulgem, 2 Steel Ingots, and 5 Dwarven Ingots) -Centurion Titan: Big and slow, the Titan deals massive damage and takes quite a beating, it carries 600(weight) (Requirements: Ancient Knowledge, Ebony Smithing; 1 Dwarven Cog, 1 Dwarven Gear, 3 Dwarven Oil, 1 Dwarven Centurion Dynamo, 1 Grand Soulgem, and 14 Dwarven Ingots) -Sphere Ebony Knight: Has ebony plating offering more health and resistance from the normal Sphere Knight, it can carry 200(weight) (Requirements: Ancient Knowledge, Ebony Smithing; 2 Dwarven Oil, 1 Dwarven Gyrom, 1 Greater Soulgem, 2 Gold Ingots, 3 Dwarven Ingots, and 6 Ebony Ingots) -Spider Protector Ebony: Has ebony plating offering more health and resistance from the normal Spider Protector, it can carry 400(weight) (Requirements: Ancient Knowledge, Ebony Smithing, 1 Dwarven Oil, 1 Greater Soulgem, 2 Dwarven Gears, 2 Gold Ingots, 3 Dwarven Ingots, and 5 Ebony Ingots) ===================== How To Guide ===================== First, make sure you have the prerequisites for the construct you need to make. The main requirements are perks from the smithing skill tree and Ancient Knowledge, gained by completing the Unfathomable Depths quest. http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Unfathomable_Depths *The reason I am using \"Ancient Knowledge\" as a prerequesit is for the immersion factor. Next, you will need to get the required material for the construct you wish to build. Use a forge and go to the Misc. category, the blueprints should appear there if all prerequistes have been filled. After making the blueprints, go to the scroll section of your inventory and use the blueprint, you will need to cast it like you do a normal scroll; there is no skill requirement for using a blueprint. The construct will appear next to you, though not necessari
