DISCLAIMER
I am not the original author of this mod. This mod is the work of the super cool isoku and I have obtained written permission from the OG author to use, port, maintain, modify and develop this mod for Skyrim Special Edition.

MOD OVERVIEW
NPCs now have access to tempered/enchanted items that were previously only
available to you. Tempered items no longer retain their tempered state
forever. All features can be adjusted using SkyUI's MCM.
Thank you AiElias
Loot:
- NPCs can now be found equipped with tempered/enchanted weapons and armor
from any mod as long as they have been added to the leveled lists. - Temper and enchantment chance/quality increases with NPC level. For a level 1
NPC, enchanted items will be very rare and untempered items will be most
common followed by "Fine", "Superior", "Exquisite", "Flawless", "Epic"
then "Legendary". - NPCs will now also automatically obtain the loot of their dead targets if they are killed
within melee range. NPCs will sometimes loot dead allies but will only
loot items that may help them immediately.
Degradation:
- Tempered weapons and armor will now eventually degrade back to their original,
untempered states upon use/hit. Continuously blocking with a weapon,
using power attacks or bashing with a bow will significantly increase
the rate at which the weapon degrades. - If a hit is blocked with a shield, your armor will be protected from
degradation for that hit and instead, your shield may degrade. Getting
hit by power attacks can significantly degrade armor. - The rate of degradation scales with material type. From least durable to
most durable: Cloth, Wood, Fur, Leather, Iron, Steel, Elven, Bonemold,
Falmer, Dwarven, Glass, Chitin, Orcish, Dragon, Ebony, Stalhrim,
Daedric. - Widgets: icons that represent your equipment's health before degrading can be
configured to display anywhere on your screen. Requires SkyUI. - Equipped gear has a chance to permanently break into pieces on use/hit. These
pieces can be forged into materials at the smelter. The faster an item
degrades, the more likely the item will break. The higher the temper
quality, the less likely the item will break. Artifacts (unique items
that already come enchanted) cannot break. Being under the effects of a
Mage Armor spell will render armor/clothing immune to breaking. Disabled
by default. - These features can also be enabled for followers.
Services:
- To help with the degradation aspect, blacksmiths and fletchers will now
temper your (non-artifact) items for a price. Blacksmiths are more
expensive but can temper everything. Fletchers are cheaper but are
limited to light armor, bows and one-handed weapons. Eorlund Graymane is
the only blacksmith who can temper artifacts or other unique equipment.
Orc blacksmiths are proficient in Orcish items, Baldor Iron-Shaper from
Dragonborn is proficient in Stalhrim items. Being proficient with
certain items means they are able to temper those items 1 level higher
than their current skill level. - All will be randomly sorted into Apprentices or Journeymen and will only able to
temper items into (Fine) and (Superior) respectively except Eorlund
Gray-Mane who begins the game as an Adept. Their skill levels will
progress through Journeyman (Superior), Adept (Exquisite), Expert
(Flawless), Artisan (Epic) and then Master (Legendary) as they temper
items. Although more expensive tempering will result in faster
progression, experience is calculated before discounts via Speech,
fletcher, etc. are applied so you aren't penalized for looking for
cheaper options. - In addition, blacksmiths and fletchers will gain two skill levels (i.e. Adept to Artisan) over
the course of about 6 in-game months without your aid. This experience
over time feature will automatically adjust to your game if this mod is
installed during a mid-playthrough. - You can also enable an option to have blacksmiths/fletchers take X hours to
temper items instead of immediate repairs. After the X hours, a courier
will deliver your improved items to you. - An Equipment Repair Kit is a portable item that will allow you to temper
or degrade weapons and armor anywhere. Items improved using this kit
will degrade faster than items improved at a grindstone, workbench or
NPC. Once enabled, they can be crafted at a leather rack or purchased
from blacksmiths.

REQUIREMENTS
SKSE64 - Skyrim Script Extender
Skyrim Special Edition
COMPATIBILITY
- Works with all mods that add new weapons/armor/NPCs without the need for patches.
- If degradation is enabled, all tempered items will now be considered
unique from each other even if they look identical in your inventory.
Hotkeys to equip items may function differently now. To counteract this,
this mod offers options to configure hotkeys to automatically equip a
weapon of a certain type from your inventory. - This mod will automatically configure itself to Requiem 1.8+'s tempering system. An additional patch for Requiem is available here.

SKSE64 has a current bug with this mod but it can be taken care of with a small change in the INI file of SSE Engine Fixes.
