✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid damage numbers for early-mid game (20 base, arrows 22) and a cool red/black assassin aesthetic.
- Craftable with ebony ingots, so no hunting for rare materials—just smelt and go.
- Community-tested with 370 endorsements and nearly 9k downloads, so it's proven stable for many players.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods like USSEP without patches.
- The bow and crossbow share the same base damage and effects, so there's little variety between the two weapons.
- Potential conflict with mods that alter the Imperial Bow or Steel Crossbow meshes, since this mod replaces those models.
For stealth archers and assassin builds who want a matching bow and crossbow set with a dark theme. Also great for collectors who like craftable gear with decent stats. Skip if you're looking for high-end endgame weapons or extensive custom animations—this is a straightforward gear addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use Belt-Fastened Quivers, install the optional patch and overwrite when prompted to fix floating bolts.
- Craft the weapons at a smithing forge under the Ebony section—you'll need the Ebony Smithing perk to see them.
- The arrows and bolts are also craftable, so you can stock up without buying from vendors.
