INFORMATION ON THE MOD ********************************************************************* This mod lets you roleplay as a blacksmith with unlimited randomly generated crafting tasks you can do for profit. In vanilla Skyrim, you can\'t really roleplay as a blacksmith because the activity costs money rather than yielding a profit. The cost of materials is so high, and the values that vendors will pay you for finished items is so low, that you may lose money every time you craft an item. This is enough to make you give up on being a peaceable and honest tradesman and go be an adventurer. (A bandit of sorts.) With this mod, an Orc smith named Gorgob, who works for Warmaiden\'s in Whiterun, will assign you tasks for what you need to craft in order to fill orders from customers. Most of the tasks will involve having you craft items made from iron, steel, hide, or leather. The orders that you fill by crafting these weapons or pieces of armor will pay you 10% more gold than the material costs of producing the weapons or armor, assuming that you bought the cheapest materials and processed them to make the items. If you buy iron ingots instead of iron ore, your profits will be decreased. Corundum ore is so expensive that it is cheaper to buy steel ingots than to smelt your own. If you go mining for ore and hunting for hides, your profits will be increased. If you go adventuring a lot, you could collect so many wolf hides that you would not need to buy leather or leather strips. You will sell the items to Gorgob through dialog rather than selling them through the merchant minigame to a vendor. This way you will get the higher price with the 10% profit that this mod uses rather than the loss you can expect in the original game. This will also complete the task so you can ask for a new one. In order to sharpen or temper the weapons you are assigned to make, you will need to use the new grindstone over by the city wall. The original grindstone near the blacksmith shop will not perform this task. This mod uses voiced dialog. Gorgob will only conduct business while he is at the blacksmith shop during business hours. At other times he likes to go to the tavern or elsewhere and does not want to be bothered. While using this mod, if you use really cheap weapo
