📊 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  • Last updated in March 2022—might be outdated for the latest Skyrim patches, so watch for compatibility.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.

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 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.
