Craft and Purchase Bolts and Crossbows

Version 1.0

by Elenear (aka Roots Rat)

__________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

Did you ever wonder why crossbows and certain bolts can only be crafted at Gunmar's forge, even though it's not any special kind of forge? And why vendors never have any steel crossbows and steel bolts for sale, despite always being stocked on bows and arrows?

Steel bolts and crossbows should be pretty common weapon in Skyrim in my oppinion and the availability should be quite similar to bows and arrows.

Also, once you acquire knowledge of how to forge Dwarven crossbows and bolts and explosive bolts, you should be able to craft them at any forge, if you have the relevant perk.

And that's what this mod does. And so:


* Steel crossbow
- No need for schematics
- Can be crafted at any forge
- Can be purchased at any blacksmith or fletcher shop

* Enhanced steel crossbow
- Need to find schematics first
- Can be crafted at any forge
- Cannot be purchased

* Steel bolts
- No need for schematics
- Can be crafted at any forge
- Can be purchased at any blacksmith or fletcher shop

* Dwarven crossbow
- Need to find schematics first
- Can be crafted at any forge
- Cannot be purchased

* Enhanced dwarven crossbow
- Need to find schematics first
- Can be crafted at any forge
- Cannot be purchased

* Dwarven bolts
- Need to find schematics first
- Can be crafted at any forge
- Cannot be purchased

* Explosive bolts
- Need to find schematics first
- Can be crafted at any forge
- Cannot be purchased


Only Vanilla and Dawnguard were covered. Hearthfire and Dragonborn will be added in due course, however I cannot tell you the ETA due to heavy involvemnt in other projects outside of Skyrim.
