Ingot Recovery

Description
If you like this mod, please rate and comment, so I know if the mod is still popular, and can provide you with more updates!

This mod is an attempt to make looting those inferior quality weapons and armor from those bandits actually worthwhile, by allowing the player to melt down the almost useless weapons and armor into very useful ingots and other materials at your local smelter.
Works with these weapon/armor types;
Iron
Steel (including Skyforge Steel)
Elven
Dwarven
Orcish
Ebony
Glass
Daedric (can melt to get a Daedra Heart or Ebony Ingots)
Dragon (gives player either Dragon Scales or Dragon Bone)
Also allows the player to melt Dwarven Spoons, Knives and Forks into Dwarven Metal Ingots.

You must have the correct smithing perk to smelt the items down however. (For balance purposes)

Now also allows the player to melt down jewelry to make ingots or recover gems.
(Fixed bug where unlimited gold ingots could be made)

UPDATED!:
Now allows the player to melt broken weapon parts and arrows at the smelter to recover ingots.
25 arrows make 1 ingot.
1 weapon part makes 1 ingot.

COMING SOON:
Anything suggested to me via a comment, as long as it is a genuinely serious idea and will improve the smelting experience!

IMPORTANT:
My new mod "Realistic Ingot Recovery" is here!
It is like this mod, but it is much more realistic, for example:
You cant get Daedra Hearts from Daedric items.
Ingots recovered from weapons and armor halved for most items.
And much more!
You can find it on my Workshop page.
Just click "View all shared files" and you should find it!

As always, any suggestions are welcome, as they help make my mods even better!
And if you find any bugs, e.g. the one where infinite gold ingots can be made, comment and I shall set things right.
Also you may find another mod you may like on my Workshop Page, please look!
Thank You!

How about 20 crossbow bolts=one ingot?

@Mystic, there is a mod for that-Smelting Increases Smithing. @Punisher You use metal to make scaled so shouldn't you be able to at LEAST get the metal back?

MLS im going to answer your question about melting down leather and scalled armor.... How the hell do you smelt leather, think about it...makes no sense For the author of the mod, it would be nice to be able to break down leather and leather goods at the tanning rack, so please make it so......

thanks

Does smelting the items down grant experience points in smithing? I'm looking to switch smithing mods, and the one I'm using grants skill advancement for both smelting and tanning (but makes creating arrows a chore, which is why I'm looking for a different mod).

Would it be possible to get a submod that was just for retrieving gemstones from jewelry? The mod is great, but it's just so much scrolling for the handful of options.

The ability to melt down Silver platters, cutlery, iron pots and other iron trash items would be nice

Oh, and how about a mod that lets you break down leather and scaled armor?
