📋 About This Mod
Temper Services
You can go to blacksmiths and ask them to "repair my gear", this will show a menu and you can select what items you want to enhance. The maximum level that they can upgrade your equipment (Superior, Flawless, Epic, ...) is directly tied to the smith's Smithing skill.
By default the cost of this service is the 200 gold per item plus the item's base price plus an extra fee based on the upgrade level, so tempering to higher levels cost more. In MCM you have options to set a base price for tempering, and a price multiplier to adjust the pricing up or down as you see fit.
This properly handles the "stolen" flag, so your stolen gear will remain stolen even if you ask someone else to temper it for you.
Recharging Services
To recharge your enchanted weapons. This service is available by the court wizards, or trainers in Enchanting. The cost of this service is 1 gold per charge (similar to Oblivion), though the existing charges inside the item doesn't cost anything. This pricing too can be customized in MCM.
Compatiblity
This mod does not touch any vanilla records and should be compatible with every other mod, including mods that add new weapon/armor, or mods that add new NPCs that smith and enchant, provided they have the proper keywords.
Temper and Recharge Services lets you pay smiths to temper your weapons and armor, and court wizards to recharge enchanted items, adding a convenient service layer to Skyrim's crafting economy. With 439 endorsements and nearly half a million downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life mod for players who want to skip the grind.
