📋 About This Mod
Hey, I have a Discord now!
This add on:
-
[] Resets the values of the weapon and armor replicas in Legacy of the Dragonborn to the base values of their material keyword. So if a sword has the steel keyword, it will have the stats/value of a steel sword.
[]Adds tempering recipes so you can improve the weapons and armor which take advantage of your smithing perks.
[]Corrected some issues found with Legacy replicas.
With the proper smithing buffs you should be able to make any of these replicas viable for end game play (doubly so if you're using a decent perk overhaul).
-
[]Optional patch now available if you're using the The Curator's Companion mod by Ic0nic0de.
[
]Optional patch now available if you're using the Volkihar Knight - Vampire Armor mod and the patch by SpaceDroner.*(I didn't go back and double check that the recipes to make the replicas corresponded with the keyword, so if you notice a discrepancy please let me know!)

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 786 endorsements and over 137k downloads.
- Fixes a common annoyance—replicas are usually just display pieces, now they're usable.
- Simple concept, huge quality-of-life boost for collectors who actually want to use their finds.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Legacy of the Dragonborn, so it's useless if you don't run that massive mod.
- Only affects replicas, not original artifacts—so if you wanted to temper the real deal, this isn't it.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter replica stats or tempering recipes—check your load order.
For Legacy of the Dragonborn players who love the museum but hate that replicas are just wall decorations. If you're a completionist who wants to actually wield your collection, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use LotD or prefer gameplay overhauls.

- Make sure you have Legacy of the Dragonborn installed and activated before adding this mod.
