A very simple mod that adds a new set of "Draco-Elven" weapons and matching recipes to the game which have similar stats to Dragonbone weapons but with Elven weapon models and skins. This mod only adds the higher-stat weapons and associated recipe, no new models. The recipe costs and weapons stats and values were balanced around the original cost to create Dragonbone weapons, perhaps slightly higher. They also have a tiny bit higher swing speed (1.0-1.05x in most cases, very small increase), being lighter than ebony weapons. I don't anticipate anyone with 100 smithing skill having any issue affording the materials since they're in line with Ebony prices anyway.
Why:
I don't particularly care for the Dragonbone weapon appearances, but I also don't want to sacrifice strength or abuse crafting loops to bring weaker tier weapons up to the same strength. I much prefer the appearance of Elven weapons (modded by a separate mod, https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/8723) so I decided to make a new set using the Elven models. This mod DOES NOT add any new models or skins, only the higher stat weapons. Any mods that change the appearance of Elven weapons will also affect these weapons.
I don't foresee this conflicting with any other mods since it only adds a few recipes and weapons to the game using existing assets, but if there are any bugs or conflicts please let me know. Being as this is my first mod for Skyrim and I am a bit of a novice, I doubt I'll be able to fix anything but I can try.
