Quest Distribution - More Mine Ore Radiant Quests

✅ Compatible with Skyrim SE, AE and VR.

✅ ESL-flagged. Doesn't use a plugin slot.

How it works

Enables the vanilla radiant quest Mine Ore for all blacksmiths and miners, and also some citizens in need of ores. The ore that they ask for depends on the location and their specialization, making it very lore-friendly.

Completing the quests increases the disposition just like vanilla. So if you're aiming for thaneship or just want to be friends with that NPC, that's now an option.

In vanilla, there are only 8 voice types that can use the Mine Ore radiant quest dialogue, so to fix that, I had to record the lines with SKVA Synth for all unsupported voice types (a total of 39 voice types). If for some reason you prefer silent dialogue over AI generated voices, delete the .fuz files and use Fuz Ro D'oh instead.

The plugin is an ESPFE that edits a single Skyrim.esm quest record to enable the radiant quest on NPCs that already have jobs (trainers and vendors). The reason for that is because, for some unknown reason, I wasn't able to simply inject the FavorJobsMineOreFaction faction on them with SPID no matter what, even though it works on other NPCs.

A video showing how the mod works. It also shows Eorlund using SKVA generated lines: "I'll buy everything you've dug up." and "Mining is hard work, but we pay a fair price for any ore you dig up."

You can find a complete list of the NPCs and what they want below, but generally speaking, most alchemists and court wizards are looking for Quicksilver, blacksmiths want Iron, members of the Khajiit caravans accept Moonstone, Nords interested in Nordic ruins ask for Corundum, orcs will ask for Orichalcum, miners from Raven Rock want Ebony, NPCs that work for Cidhna Mine or Sanuarach Mine will ask for Silver and so on.

Why Moonstone for Khajiit and Quicksilver for alchemists and court wizards? The Khajiit are unofficial suppliers of the war, so they're probably supplying someone with it. Quicksilver is basically mercury, and alchemists use it a lot in their experiments.
