📋 About This Mod

Most Merchants/Blacksmiths no longer sell enchanted jewelry/armor/weapons (which better fits Skyrim's Lore). Additionally, MOST Merchants no longer have inventories that 'grow' alongside the player's level!Keep in mind, you'll still find

Please Endorse :)

You've emerged from Helgen and visit the shops...they only have Nordic iron and steel, which is as it should be!  This is Skyrim after all!  Elven/orc stuff is supposed to be rare...and glass/ebony/daedric rarer still!

So far, so good....right?

However, you do find it weird that the merchants are happily displaying enchanted goods.... I thought the Nords of Skyrim distrusted magic?!?!  Also, didn't the College of Winterhold Enchanting courier work show us that people are embarrassed/ashamed to order enchantments (the regular citizens certainly seemed embarrassed/ashamed to be making orders)?  But then why do guards happily ask you to enchant their swords...are they being sarcastic?

But it gets FAR worse!

After spending a few hours sparring with Mud Crabs and leveling up 20 levels, you venture back to town to visit the shops....that are now selling Enchanted Ebony goods?!?!  Wait, were they hiding their inventory from me earlier?  Do they now find me worthy of their better stock because I killed some mudcrabs?  And how are these smiths even making gear that is A) beyond their skill levels and B) that they don't have the materials for?  Also, since you KNOW it isn't you or the College, then who exactly is enchanting (and delivering) all this enchanted stuff suddenly being sold by Merchants/Blacksmiths?!?

You've just been slapped in the face and reminded that you are playing a game where Merchants Inventory levels sup to match your level!

What Does This Mod Do?

-Blacksmiths/Merchants/Quartermasters now mostly sell NON-Enchanted Iron and Steel goods...regardless of what level the Dragonborn is.

exceptions include:

-the Blacksmiths of Solstheim (Nordic/Chitin/Bonemold/Stalthrim)

-Orc Blacksmiths (who sell Orcish equipment)

-the Orc Blacksmith in Narzulbur will also sometimes have Ebony equipment/materials, since they mine and work with it!

-Imperial/Sons Quartermasters will have faction armors for sale

-the Dremora Merchant (DLC2) will sell you Daedric Goods, as well as enchanted goods

-Apothecary offerings (and looted potions) are no longer based on player level = you should have access to the full selection right from the start

-Merchants (excluding Wizard Merchants) generally do NOT sell magic items/armor/weapons!

Note: Khajiit Caravan enchanted items ARE removed from their merchant inventory, BUT each Caravan Merchant at the start of the game seems to get a special 'permanent' magic item for sale that doesn't respawn.  It'll remain in the merchants 'items for sale' list until you purchase it.....since this still fits my mod's intent well enough = I decided to leave their Caravans with their permanent magic items for sale.

*Note: Most Merchants have enchanted items re
