Sword and Greatsword with a scabbard.
Optional integration into vanilla leveled lists using SkyPatcher. Patched for OWL, Lawless, Haugbui and The Restless Dead. No conflicts no .esp no manual patching necessary.
Stats are based on ebony tier.
Esl flagged .esp, load anywhere doesn't matter where.
Complex Material support.
If you are on a game version prior to 1. 6. 1130 you have to use BEES.
This plugin has been created with the most recent version of the creation kit, if you are on a game version earlier than 1. 6. 1130 I recommend you use BEES otherwise your game can crash, wont start or the mod wont be loaded. If you dont wanna use that mod you have to set the version of the .esp in SSEdit from 1. 71 to 1. 70.
Install using your favourite mod manager.
Optional Complex Material support.
Requirements: ENB
Set EnableComplexMaterial=true and EnableDynamicCubemap=true.
If these are greyed out in your ingame ENB control panel you have to set them manually in your enbseries.ini located in your Skyrim folder.
Optional PBR support.
Requirements: Community Shaders.
Safe to install mid-save.
Default texture resolution is 2k, higher resolutions are found under optional files.
Crafting the Runecarvers Edge requires Ebony Smithing perk.
If you have SkyPatcher installed it will distribute the weapons to enemies/chests that are able to equip/contain ebony weapons like high level Bandit Chiefs or Draugr Deathlords.
