I've roughly worked out the types of arrowheads that would need to be created and the arrows they would improve.

Given quite a few arrows are noncraftable, such as the Dwarven Sphere Centurion Arrow and the Ancient Nord Arrow, as examples, this Have had a bit more of a think about this during a short holiday and the idea of creating batches of 24 arrowheads to mirror the crafting of 24 arrows at a forge seems more like the way to go, as trying to improve arrows using ingots would be way too wasteful and unrealistic and improving batches of arrows in one go would be daft. That said, will see if anyone else more capable might be willing to give it a shot first before I even consider attempting it.Īside from that, any reason why it might not be able to be carried out at all?

Was thinking about having a go at making this myself, but as I've barely scratched the surface of the Creation Kit, it might be a bit beyond my abilities at this stage. Obviously the first method would be preferred, but got a feeling the second route might the way to go, which would necessitate creating custom arrows for each type in the editors, as well as the arrowheads and so on. Failing that, the other option would be to create the individual arrowheads that can be crafted at the forge, refined at the grindstone themselves (maybe using other arrowheads for relative simplicity's sake), and then combined with the base arrow or firewood and crafting feathers to create the improved arrow at way. If the ammo types can be refined, then improving them at a grindstone with an ingot or individual arrowheads of the same material used for the arrow would be feasible (maybe in batches of 20 or so for the ingot, individual ones with the arrowheads route). How this would be carried would depend on what can be executed with scripts and the limitations of the Creation Kit. It'd level in a similar scale to other weapons that can be refined on the grindstone, so the arrows themselves wouldn't be overly powerful. The reasoning being from a lore friendly perspective is this: A skilled archer would have a better knowledge as to what would be required to refine their arrows, but would need the appropriate smithing skill to be able to carry out the refinements in question. The way I see it, to be able to improve an arrows damage capability, you'd have to have an average of both the smithing and the archery skills to determine if you can make a fine arrow, exquisite arrow and so on. Just seems a bit strange to me that you can improve the bow itself, but not be able to refine the arrows at all on the grindstone, or bolts for that in the case of the crossbow. Was having a think about a mod like this over the past couple of days.
