Smithing Overhaul

Smithing Overhaul

Smithing Overhaul transforms the vanilla smithing system, addressing the high costs and limitations that often deter players from using this mechanic. In the base game, repairing and upgrading items through smithing can be prohibitively expensive, leading most players to rely on Mending or other methods like villager trades for maintenance. This mod aims to make smithing a more accessible and integral part of the game.

The mod introduces new smithing templates, expanding the ways in which players can upgrade their gear. These templates provide more variety and control over the items you craft, allowing for a more rewarding progression. With these new templates, players will be able to improve their tools and armor with greater ease, reducing the reliance on expensive materials and making the smithing process more user-friendly.

Additionally, Smithing Overhaul rebalances how enchantments are sourced. Rather than solely depending on the enchanting table, loot drops, or villager trades, players can now use smithing to obtain enchanted gear, making it a more viable and rewarding option. This shift encourages players to engage with the smithing system more often, offering a more dynamic experience as they improve their equipment throughout their journey.

The overall goal of Smithing Overhaul is to ease the harsh costs and restrictions associated with vanilla smithing, while also emphasizing its role as a key mechanic for obtaining and maintaining enchanted gear. By doing so, the mod enhances the gameplay experience, making smithing more rewarding and impactful in the long run.
