📋 About This Mod
Allows you to melt down most weapons added by Weapons of the Third Era and retrieve the ingots invested in their forging - excluding Wooden and Daedric material weapons.
As someone who greatly enjoys playing with Arthmoor's Ars Metallica on their load order, and thinks that melting down weapons should have been a basic functionality and part of the base game, I find it jarring that I am able to melt vanilla weapons and armour (thanks to his mod), but not those added by custom armour or weapon packs.
There is a mod that allows you to melt every metallic piece of equipment under the sun on Oldrim, but it requires SKSE, and thus I don't expect to see it on the SSE Nexus in the near future.
Over time, I've made several mods for my own personal use that allowed me to melt down equipment added by some of the larger weapon packs on the SSE Nexus. I thought others may be interested in this functionality as much as I, and after asking for permission, am now uploading a Meltdown mod for Weapons of the Third Era.
As its namesake indicates, this mod's foremost feature is that it allows the player to melt all of the weapons added by the Weapons of the Third Era collection and retrieve however many ingots were invested in forging said weapons. This does not apply to the Wooden and Daedric weapons added by the Weapons of the Third Era pack.
I also made it so that the Third Era Glass Scimitar crafting recipe requires the player to have the Glass Smithing perk, as in the original mod, the perk requirement is incorrectly set to Steel. The prices of some Third Era Eastern Dwemer weapons were adjusted to be more consistent with other Dwarven weapons.
Additionally, it allows the player to forge 5 weapons that are present on the weapon pack, but can only be normally obtained through leveled lists, having been omitted from the crafting recipies. These are not "unique" weapons, so I assume they just slipped through the cracks. They are, from left to right:
-
[]Third Era Elven Steel Sword
[
]Third Era Eastern Dwemer Sword[]Third Era Eastern Dwemer Longsword
[]Third Era Eastern Dwemer Axe
- Third Era Perfect Silver Sword
Everything that's been struck through above is no longer a feature of my mod as of version 1. 0. 3, as Angryglock has corrected all issues my mod previously addressed with version 2. 1 of Weapons of the Third Era.
This mod only adds custom crafting recipies and thus should be compatible with everything, but Weapons of the Third Era SSE (Version 2. 1) is required for the mod to function at all.
First, you must download and install Weapons of the Third Era SSE, without which this mod will not function.
Then, download and activate this mod on NMM/Mod Organizer/Your Mod Manager of Choice as you would most other mods.
