📋 About This Mod

DESCRIPTION

=============

This mod adds a new sword called Valkyrja with the following characteristics:

- Detailed model with custom scabbard.

- 4k and 2k textures available, all done from scratch including cubemap. With the appropiate compression format.

- Two handed (Great Valkyrja) and one handed (Valkyrja) versions.

- Craftable in steel section (requires dwarven smithing perk) with steel, dwarven metal, leather and leather strips.

-There are also two "swapping" recipes, so that you can change from 1h to 2h and the other way aroung at any forge (you need an extra steel ingot to go from 1h to 2h)

- You can improve them at a grindstone or enchant them.

- One handed sword has reduced speed and increased reach according to its size.

- the base vaues for weight, damage etc, are the following:

>Valkyrja: 12 damage, 10 weight, 0. 85 speed, 1. 15 reach, value 500.

>Great Valkyrja: 20 damage, 15 weight, default greatsword speed and reach, value 500.

- Compatible out of the box with dual sheath mods (but doesnt require them)

- Optional one handed scabbard for swords on back and similar mods (see screenshots)

- Packed in a bsa so it doesnt clutter you data folder.

- Antique Valkyrja included in v2, it's an unique sword that belonged to a nord warrior, the tale says he died in the path to high hrothgar, so it may be a good place to start looking.

It's enchanted with frost damage and both its base damage and the enchantment depend on the level you are when it loads (you get close to it, even if you dont take it) just as chillrend does. That way no matter what level you are when you install the mod it will be useful, in level 46 and up it can be very powerful.

Unfortunately, the nord warrior lost his scabbard before freezing to death, so a simple leather sheath replaces it.

The groups of levels are the following:

1-10; 11-18; 19-26; 27-35; 36-45 and 46+

Base damage will be the same as greatswords of that level and enchantment will go from 5 to 30 of frost damage to both health and stamina.

INSTALLATION

=============

I recommed using NMM, but you can do it manually, simply download the version of your choice and drop in "Data" folder the two files inside the compressed archive:

>Valkyrja.esp

>Valkyrja.bsa

The two must remain together and should not be renamed.

💡 Beginner Tips
