📋 About This Mod
The Crafter's Crown - FAQ
Q: How is this "Cheats and God Items" AND "Fair and Balanced" ?!
A: Because it's not really a cheat item at all, except for the huge Carry Weight bonus. The crafting bonuses are absolutely legit.
Q: +144% Alchemy and Smithing?! WTF?!
A: That's what a full set of crafting gear genuinely gives you if you max out all the crafting skills. Really. 4 items at 36% each.
If your gear isn't that strong, you've missed a trick somewhere.
(If your gear's better than that and you HAVEN'T just used the Fortify Restoration exploit, let me know how you did it).
Q: +40% Enchanting?!
A: Again, that's the bonus of a maximised potion in an unmodded game.
Q: So how do I use it?
A: DON'T use potions when Enchanting.
The Enchanting bonus is there because potions continue to count down while you're using the Enchanter. If you're a slow typist or you do
the steps in the wrong order or you change your mind halfway through, the potion expires and you have to start over. It's just petty and
vindictive.
A: DON'T use any additional +Smithing or +Alchemy gear when wearing it.
(unless you WANT to cheat, which is your choice)
A: DO use potions when Smithing.
The main point of the mod was to avoid having to carry 12 pieces of gear around just for crafting. Since Smithing doesn't have the time
issues caused by renaming items, the Crown just acts as the exact equivalent of a "Crafting Gear Set".
(Also, if I added in the bonus from a maxed potion the numbers would look even more ridiculous).
Q: +40% Enchanting is still too high, even if it's legit...
A: I think so too, so the Crown only gives you +25% by itself.
To get the full +40% bonus, equip the Notched Pickaxe as well.
(Note: this mod does NOT modify the Pickaxe at all: it just uses it to adjust the Crown's bonus).
Q: How do I get the Crown?
A: Console only. "help crafter" and go from there.
There isn't anywhere in the world I could put it that doesn't risk conflicting with another mod, and using a quest to give it to the
player when they reach 100 in Enchanting or anything like that turns uninstalling it into a chore.
Q: Speaking of, how do I uninstall it?
A: Just make sure you're not wearing the Crown, that's all.
Q: What's different in the two versions?
A: "Basic" is just the Crown and nothing else. (This version is now unsupported).
A: The normal version does a few extra things:
The "Fortify <School> and Magicka Regen" enchantments have been fixed. They are CLEARLY intended to be "Fortify +25% and Magicka Regen +50%"
at max Enchanting, per the non-College NPC items, so now they are.
The Crafter's Crown is a Skyrim crafting mod that adds a crown providing +144% Alchemy and Smithing and +25% Enchanting bonuses, equivalent to a full set of maxed crafting gear. It aims to eliminate the need to carry multiple gear pieces, with optional use of the Notched Pickaxe to reach +40% Enchanting. For players who want legit crafting boosts without the hassle of swapping gear.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 538 endorsements and over 8.8k downloads.
- Solves the annoyance of carrying multiple crafting gear pieces—one crown does it all.
- The +144% crafting bonus is legit if you've maxed your skills, so it's not a cheat item.
⚠️ Cons
- The +25% Enchanting bonus is still high for some players, even if it's technically legit.
- Requires careful usage—don't use potions when enchanting or extra gear when smithing, or you'll overdo it.
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter crafting skills or add similar gear, since it stacks with everything.
For Skyrim crafters who are tired of juggling a dozen pieces of gear just to make potions and weapons. If you've maxed your crafting skills and want a convenient, legit boost without exploits, this is for you. Skip if you prefer a more challenging or unmodded crafting experience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- When enchanting, avoid using potions—the crown's bonus is meant to replace them, and potions can expire mid-process.
- Don't stack additional +Smithing or +Alchemy gear with the crown unless you want to cheat; the crown already matches maxed gear.
- Equip the Notched Pickaxe to get the full +40% Enchanting bonus if you want that extra edge.
