Bow of the DarkOne by Nicoroshi v1. 0

________________________________

Reason for this mod:

______________________

This mod was created as a Thank You to DarkOne, and GStaff for doing a great job dealing with a thief that was stealing mods from the Nexus, and uploading them as their own work on the Steam workshop.

You guys are a great asset to the modding community. Thank you. :)

Although I created a stand alone version of this mod it is a modder's resource for all things Skyrim.

I want the community to use it in their creations, and have fun with it.

What does this mod do?

________________________

This mod adds one DarkOne Bow to just inside the door of the Companions mead hall in Whiterun (on the right under the table right by the main entrance).

It is also craftable with the Ebony smithing perk, and can be improved as well.

How do I install it?

_____________________

Recommend you use a mod manager

Version History:

________________

1. 0 initial release

Although I created a unique mesh, and texture for this bow it's original shape was based on a bow found in the movie 'Avatar'

Permissions:

_____________

Conversions to other languages allowed

Yep, This mod is a straight gift to the modding community of Skyrim.

I only ask that credit is given for my original work, and the name of the bow retain the words "DarkOne" in it's title somewhere.

I also request that it stay with who it was intended for.

UPLOAD ON THE NEXUS ONLY IN HONOR OF DarkOne.

After all it is a direct Thank you to both DarkOne, and GStaff.

Authors Note:

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 434 endorsements and over 9k downloads, so it's a proven pick
  • Open permissions mean you can tweak stats or textures to fit your game without hassle
  • Easy to grab early in Whiterun—no quest hunting needed

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2018, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches
  • Only one bow—no new animations or sounds, just a visual and stat change
  • The design is based on Avatar, which might not fit everyone's lore-friendly taste
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a unique, powerful-looking bow without a quest. It's great for archer builds that want a standout weapon early on. Skip if you're looking for a full weapon pack or lore-strict additions.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—it's a simple drop-in, but managers keep your load order clean
  • The bow is under the table in Jorrvaskr's main hall, so check the floor near the entrance if you can't spot it
  • Since it's craftable with Ebony smithing, you can get it early by using the console to add the perk if you don't want to level smithing
