I took it upon myself to add requirements to newermind43's Newermind Bow Collection. Many thanks go out to him for making what is quite likely the best collection of custom bows available for Skyrim. They only had one flaw, their being massively overpowered and i was sure as hell not going to nerf such incredible weapons, so instead i raised their requirements almost excessively, so that crafting one would feel like a real achievement as even the humblest Newermind bow is more powerful then a Daedric bow so-

I've now added all but the Alduin Dragon Bow to the boss loot chests if thats the version you choose to download. As Ebony bows are level 36, the Newermind bows will start from 45 up to 75.

*The upgrading cost is half the price of the crafting cost
*Ignore Lvl-No. unless you download the boss chest leveled version

Installation
Place Newermind Bow Collection.esp into the Skyrim/Data folder over writing the original Newermind Bow Collection.esp

Requirements
The original Newermind Bow Collection IS required and can be found here
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12276

Issues
*The bows can be found in their original locations regardless of smithing perks needed
*Alduin Dragon Bow needs filled Black Soul Gems even though it DOESN'T say "Filled"
*The leveled list version alters the leveled loot list for boss chests, you may want to use something like Wrye Bash to combine the leveled list with other mods to avoid conflicts.


Thanks again to newermind43 for his incredible Newermind Bow Collection
