Installation: unpack into the Mods folder in the main game directory. If you don't have that folder, create it.


Optional files:
3 new perks and some changes to the Craftsmanship tree. Required skill levels for some perks were also changed:

lvl 10 Keen Eye: double the xp and +1 Craftsmanship bonus

lvl 6  Razor Sharp: +3% stabbing and slashing damage
lvl 12 Razor Sharp II (new): +6% stabbing and slashing damage

lvl 6  Bowyer: unchanged
lvl 12 Bowyer II (new): +20% power in total

lvl 12 Hardened Steel: +4% to stabbing, slashing and blunt damage, +10% weapon durability, +10% weapon defence to weapons you forge.
Important: it now requires Swordmaker's Wisdom (Sword perk), which ITSELF requires Martin's Heritage

lvl 18 Exceptional Steel (new): +10% stabbing, slashing and blunt damage, +20% weapon durability, +20% weapon defence to weapons you forge.

Swordmaker Wisdom was also changed with this file, now giving +2 craftsmanship, +10% durability to swords and +10% defence.

there are 2 versions to choose from: with or without Martin's Secret (now requires lvl 20 craftsmanship and the Exceptional Steel perk). So you will be giving up Tier 4 weapons,which was the whole idea behind me going into this and why I made Exceptional Steel so powerful. But if you prefer, you can get both if you downlaod the appropriate file. Or you can skip these changes entirely and just use the main file only. Tier 4 weapons are 16% better than Tier 3, so Exceptional Steel is not that far behind, and by removing it we avoid the price balance issues and improve immersion (you cannot become a master blacksmith in a month). If you already have Martin's Secret taken on your current character, it will stay with you regardless, no matter which version you install -- you can't get rid of it once you've taken it, but it's still safe to use these edits in this case and it will work even if you're now below it's new required skill level.

Poison Specialist: both levels increase poison application efficiency twice as much
it's balanced around the hardcore preset so that with both perks you end up with half the vanilla efficinecy
I guess it's fine for people who won't use the perk and don't want the hassle, you just won't need to make as many poisons
Purple Haze: both levels reduces health and stamina damage recieved by 1.5% per potion and alcohol effect active, so 3% with both perks.

Things were changed to suit my game presets, which are NOT included (3x hunger/energy gain, weaker poisons and potions, harder combat, harder takedowns, 0.35x XP, weaker weapons, less carry weight, harder rep)
But I think they hold up just fine with vanilla settings. So if you like them, you're welcome to use them :)
