== What this mod does ==

This mod allows you to extract the gemstones from vanilla jewelry via the smelter.

The extraction recipes are as follows:

Rings

5 silver rings = 1 silver ingot
1 silver garnet = 1 garnet
1 silver amethyst = 1 amethyst
1 silver ruby = 1 ruby
5 gold rings = 1 gold ingot
1 gold sapphire = 1 sapphire
1 gold emerald = 1 emerald
1 gold diamond = 1 diamond

Necklaces/Amulets
3 silver necklaces = 1 silver ingot
1 silver sapphire = 1 flawless sapphire
1 silver jeweled = 2 flawless garnets
1 silver emerald = 1 flawless emerald
3 gold necklaces = 1 gold ingot
1 gold ruby = 1 flawless ruby
1 gold jeweled = 2 flawless amethysts
1 gold diamond = 1 flawless diamond

Circlets
1 silver and moonstone = 1 silver ingot
1 copper and ruby = 1 ruby
1 gold and emerald = 3 emerald
1 jade and emerald = 3 emerald
1 jade and sapphire = 3 sapphire
1 gold and ruby = 1 flawless ruby
1 silver and sapphire = 1 flawless sapphire

Notes

• Recipes will only show up if you have the prerequisite(s) (the jewelry) in your inventory. I did this to keep the clutter in your smelter menu to a minimum.
• The output for the rings and amulets is based on their crafting requirements in the vanilla game. The exception to this is plain rings and amulets. Two little rings is obviously not enough to make a whole ingot.
• Due to restrictions in the creation kit for Skyrim, only one type of output is possible per crafting recipe, which is why you don't get to recover the gold, silver, or other materials from the jewelry where it might seem logical.
• The output for the circlets was more tricky since there are no vanilla crafting recipes for them. I opted to go for the logical approach of recovering however many gems were visibly present.
• This does make for an easy way to earn money for some of them due to the circlets being poorly priced compared to rings or amulets with the same gems in them. The reason I made this mod was for those who desperately needed more gems to use in the recipes from other mods. We have access to the console and several thousand mods that make cheating for money easier than breathing, so I'm not concerned in that regard.
• Not all circlets have a vanilla gemstone associated with it (such as moonstone or onyx) and therefore I did not make a recipe for them.
  

== CCOR==

Optional plugin is available for Complete Crafting Overhaul Remastered. Download that file under the optional files section rather than the main file.

There are too many recipes to list, but for every circlet, ring, and amulet that is crafted with amber, amethyst, aquamarine, diamond, emerald, garnet, onyx, opal, peridot, ruby, or sapphire, I have created a breakdown recipe. The outputs are the same number and type of gem(s) required by CCOR to make the piece of jewelry being broken down.

Unlike in my vanilla game version of this mod, I moved the breakdown recipes to the crafting forge to align with how CCOR handles other breakdown recipes.

Note: this file is only available as a regular .esp. I couldn't save the file as .esl flagged. My guess is CCOR can't be flagged as an .esl and since it's a master file to mine, that prevents mine from being flagged as an .esl too. But that's just an educated guess. If anyone knows for sure feel free to enlighten me.


==Known Issues ==

None at present.


== Requirements ==

This mod shouldn't require anything beyond the base game.


== Compatibility ==

Should be compatible with 99.9% of mods out there. Honestly don't know what could conflict with this.


== Installation ==

Use your favorite mod manager or manually drop the mod file into your data folder. You have the option of downloading the mod as an .esp or an .esl flagged .esp (which won't take up a mod slot in your load order). Only choose one.


== Uninstallation ==

Remove via your favorite mod manager(if installed with one) or manually remove the mod file from your data folder directories.


== Updating ==

If changing over to the CCOR version from the vanilla version I would recommend making a clean save by uninstalling the current version, loading up your game, saving, then loading that save after installing the CCOR version of the mod. That's just if you like to err on the side of caution. I'm no expert, but I would think everything should be pretty safe since there are no scripts being used and the mod does not alter any existing game assets, but you never know...
