Apologies for the long delay, and apologies for being mostly silent this year. As always, real life is the priority, and it's been quite a struggle lately. I have not abandoned Armoury of Tamriel, but unfortunately can't give a timeframe on when the next update will come. Thank you to everyone continuing to enjoy this mod, thank you to those continuing to report bugs, and thank you to those who have shared their own unofficial updates and patches (to whom I'll also remind that this project has completely open permissions, so you're welcome to host them on your own Nexus pages).
Thank you for your patience.

A fun little announcement alongside the release of version 2.4.1!
At the start of 2022, I received permission from Registrant to include some of their weapon models. You may recognise them from Reforging - To the Masses (Weapons Expansion). I plan to give some of these weapons the Armoury of Tamriel treatment, as well as more weapons from Heavy Armory.
Edit (26/Feb/2022): The next update will be improving some of the textures. No longer will the Basic pieces look like they've been coloured in with crayons.
A major overhaul to crafting! Previously, back from before I began maintaining the mod, crafting recipes were very inconsistent. Not every recipe that should logically include wood required hafts. Some recipes of the same style, say a Dunmeri Warhammer, would have varying wood/haft requirements based on the metal used for no reason. Arrow recipes were relics from when Legendary Edition didn't have the Dawnguard arrow recipes. Armoury of Tamriel's recipes would stand out alongside other mod-added recipes as requiring unique materials.
No matter what, the crafting recipes needed to be overhauled.
I opted to remove the new crafting materials and instead recreate the recipes to be in line with how they are in the base game, based on feedback and my overall design philosophy when it comes to Armoury of Tamriel. The items still exist for now with placeholder models, but can no longer be found or crafted and should be sold. They will be fully removed in a future update. The removal of their models and textures also frees up a tiny bit of file size, which when the mod has over 3GB of assets when compressed into BSAs I'll gladly accept any reduction I can take. In the end, this overhaul vastly improves the consistency, immersion, and feature bloat of crafting recipes.
When update 2.3 released, Armoury of Tamriel v2.0 had hit 100 endorsements. Now it's almost at 300! Your support is always appreciated, and I encourage you to endorse your favourite mods, especially those hidden gems that you think more people should be using.
Patch notes:
-Removed Arrow Fletchings, Arrow Shafts, Cut Gems, Gem Dust, and Hafts from crafting recipes and leveled lists.
-Removed any now unused crafting recipes.
-Arrow recipes now create 24 arrows like in vanilla, up from 15.
-Bolt recipes now create 10 bolts like in vanilla, down from 15.
-Added missing Enhanced Crossbow recipes.
-Added missing Steel Imperial Boots and Steel Imperial Gauntlets recipes.
-Added missing Moonstone Thalmor War Axe recipe.
-Nordic Light Boots and Bracers now require knowledge of Nordic smithing instead of Scale.
-Removed crafting recipe changes that prevented the tempering of certain unique items.
-Rebalanced Dragon Rune weapon enchantments to be in line with vanilla. This is mostly to reduce the difficulty of early-game draugr bosses.
-Silver Altmeri Armor now correctly provides Magic Resist as intended.
-Reduced the amount of Iron Arrows that show up at Blacksmiths, which was greater than vanilla.
-Corrected leveled lists to allow bandit bosses to spawn with Steel Gauntlets as intended.
-Corrected issue where heavy Silver Boots would spawn instead of heavy Silver Cuirass.
-Fixed Imperial Greatsword crafting recipes creating Basic Greatswords instead.
-Fixed crashes relating to Lunar Iron Maces, Sword, War Axes, and Lunar Steel Swords.
-Increased the price of Armoury of Tamriel II - Weapons and Armoury of Tamriel III - Maintenance by 1 and 2 gold respectively for some visual variety when shopping.
-Increased the price of Smith: Silvered Steel to 200 gold.
-Moved Smith: Silvered Steel to the Armoury of Tamriel master plugin. Any copies of this book will disappear from current saves and will need t be reacquired. You have my permission to use console commands to cheat it back in to save you the 200 gold.
-Removed Armoury of Tamriel Smithing Perks Compatability Version plugin.
-Added optional Crafting Only plugin.
-Removed optional ingot retextures.
-Removed many Null references in Armoury of Tamriel - Lora plugin.
-Removed unused Object Effect record.
-Changed 4 Magic Effect editor IDs that began with "30" instead of "300."
-Changed mod category from Overhauls to Weapons and Armour.
Edit: will this mod also be updated with the anniversary creation club stuff?
However, I've still got an issue with the dwemer crossbow model using the nordic model, and I'm still trying to figure out if it's just a problem with this mod or if it's a compatibility issue.
Link to mod in question: Spear of Skyrim
I really like the variety of gear.. It makes the world more interesting like, I found something new!! Instead of the same old stuff... thanks!! Would I need the CK to make a patch for smelting plus?
But yeah this mod is pretty cool, being able to get better gear but still having the style you want.
Also, is it possible to make a variant of the mod where the gear is crafted-only and has nonstandard material-style combos be unlocked with the books but leaves the vanilla material-style combos craftable with just the perks? I ask as otherwise Armoury of Tamriel is an "all or nothing" mod where any gear NOT adapted for the mod feels wildly out of place, and I'd definitely prefer not losing all of the other armour mods I tend to use.
