📋 About This Mod
Have you completed the "Stones of Barenziah" quest and don't know what to do with all those gemstones??? Put them to use by crafting a stylish set of armor and weapons. I've created an entirely new class of weapons and armor that lets you use all the gemstones you find throughout Skyrim and craft them into an arsenal of destruction. My personal favorites are the Enchanted Arrows and Bolt that explode with an array of magical effects.
This is a complete collection of my Diamond Smithing series. Every weapon, every armor, every arrow, every bolt all in one mod for the first time. This is a full armor mod for all races and genders. There are light and heavy sets as well as a midweight variant of the light cuirass. Every weapon type from the vanilla sets plus a few extras, and Crossbows and Bolts are all included.
Craftable at the forge. Each Gem type is unlocked as you progress at smithing. -Garnet=Iron -Amethyst=Steel -Ruby=Elven/Dwarven -Sapphire=Advanced Armor(Steel)/Orcish -Emerald=Glass/Ebony -Diamond=Dragon
