Improved Smithing - New Weapon Variety - Version 2

This mod also changes the manufacturer’s bonuses on weapons and adds them to the weapon’s description with a color coded tooltip.

The number of weapons available have been greatly increased by adding level new weapon levels.

Also, all weapons are graded numerically. This will allow easier sorting of weapons and comparison.




- This mod allows you to research Edgewalker quality weapons up to Edgewalker 3 and then you can have a critical success that results in Cross (Meitou) weapons.

-The “Homemade” manufacturer is the player faction’s product. The player’s smiths will make “Homemade” branded weapons that will increase in quality directly affected by the smith’s skill.

Homemade weapons get a +10% cut and +10% blunt damage as a manufacturer bonus.

KNOWN ISSUE: The Homemade Manufacturer bonus' tooltip is covered up by the player crafter’s information. It’s still affecting the weapon, though. The bonus information tooltip will appear when you sell a weapon to a vendor and then exit the barter menu. The merchant will remove the crafter information on resell.


Imports:
This mod doesn’t technically require an import. Everyone that spawns after adding the mod will have new weapons. Existing npcs do need an import to have the new weapons. So, it won’t ruin your game to run without import. For best results, you should import.

When you use the mod for the first time with an existing save, some weapons will be converted to Catun No. 1 due to an engine limitation. This will only happen once and it does not affect new games.

Weapon Mods:
This works with weapons added by mods. This alters the manufacturers which are required to spawn a weapon. As long as the mod maker uses the default manufacturers, this mod will work. If the mod uses custom manufacturers or custom weapon grades, it won’t work.

This mod works with the New Weapons Dissemination Mod.

Use this mod with it to remove the Luxury Manufacturer, NWDM Without Luxury. The Luxury Manufacturer is not affected by this mod. Luxury Weapon research may be incompatible with the smithing research changes here.
