✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (14,357 downloads, 90 endorsements) shows a decent niche following.
- ESL-flagged means it won't eat a plugin slot—nice for load order hoarders.
- Two-handed version got a speed buff (0.7 to 0.9), so it's not just a stat clone.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 90 endorsements—this is a small mod, so don't expect a huge community or frequent updates.
- Last updated in March 2022—might be outdated for the latest Skyrim patches, so watch for compatibility.
- No unique enchantments or special effects—it's a straight stat stick, so if you want flashy, look elsewhere.
For Skyrim players who want a simple, lore-friendly-ish sword without messing with complex mods. If you're a completionist who likes crafting your own gear, this fits right in. Skip it if you're after unique mechanics or high-end visual flair—this is a basic weapon addon.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—it's a simple drag-and-drop, and you'll avoid manual folder mistakes.
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can place it anywhere in your load order, but keep it after the official DLCs just to be safe.
- You'll need the Steel Smithing perk to craft it, so plan your perk points if you're low level.
