Nicos Craft-able Arrows v1. 5
_____________________________
Reason for this mod:
_____________________
Honestly...... Just wanted some good looking arrows that I could craft in the game.
Thought some of you might like them too. :)
What this mod does:
____________________
This mod adds 4 new types of arrows to the game.
Withervines for the characters that like black
Lightsplinters for arrows in Maple
Quickthornes for arrows in rosewood
Dreadweave are dark with hawk feather flights, and steel tips
Where are they?
________________
They can only be had by crafting at any forge with only the steel smithing perk required.
Find them under the MISC section of crafting
Each require slightly different components and are made 100 at a time.
All require nirnroot as the flights are made of it, and silver as the arrow heads are made of that.
How strong are they?
_____________________
Same as Daedric.

1. 1 added in Dreadweave arrows
1. 2 repaired bad link to Dreadweave texture (thanks to mymgrimm for the bug report)
1. 3 Re-worked the specular properties in the .nif file for a less reflective apperance, and added glow mapped arrow tips

Nicos Craftable Arrows SSE adds four craftable arrow types—Withervines, Lightsplinters, Quickthornes, and Dreadweave—to Skyrim Special Edition. Each arrow is visually distinct and matches Daedric damage, craftable at any forge with the Steel Smithing perk. A conversion of the original mod, it offers a simple way to get good-looking, powerful arrows.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 489 endorsements and over 9,300 downloads
- Arrows hit as hard as Daedric, so they're actually viable for endgame
- Four distinct visual styles let you match your character's aesthetic
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches
- Requires nirnroot and silver for every arrow, which can be a grind to gather
- Only four arrow types—if you want more variety, you'll need to look elsewhere
For Skyrim SE archers who want craftable, high-damage arrows with unique looks without messing with balance. If you're a completionist who likes collecting every arrow type, this is a nice addition. Skip if you want gameplay overhauls or a huge variety of ammunition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install—it's a simple drag-and-drop, but a manager keeps your load order clean.
- You'll find the arrows under the MISC section at any forge, not under the regular arrow category.
- Make sure you have the Steel Smithing perk before heading to the forge, or the recipes won't show up.
