Reforgable Uniques and Polearms v1.0
This mod allows you to reforge the various unique weapons in the game (as well as polearms, which were previously uncraftable and not reforgable).
Description
Very simply, this mod adds recipes to reforge the various unique weapons in the game, as well as recipes to reforge some of the various polearms. The recipes are all based on the crafting recipes for the original item, or the item the unique is a variant of (for example, Osina’s shortsword is a variant of the noble shortsword, so it’s reforged with 1xOsina’s Shortsword, 1xToledo Steel, and 1xIron). All DLC weapons included.
I made this mod because the original Reforge Uniques mod is fairly out of date, lacking the DLC weapons, and Reforge Everything added recipes for weapons that could already be crafted, as well as bows, armor, firearms, etc. I took a more immersive and minimalistic approach, adding only items that Henry could realistically forge, and that there were already animations for (no sword/axe/horseshoe animations for forging armor, for example). Furthermore, I did not add recipes for items that already have crafting recipes, as those can either be re-crafted with generic materials, or by first breaking the unique weapon into its unique weapon stub. (I did use the horseshoe animations for pitchforks, because it’s actually not that far off, but not SUPER happy with it, lol)
I made this mostly for myself, because I couldn’t find it on the Nexus, but figured I’d upload it in case anyone else was looking for something similar.
FAQ
Can you add non-unique/modded [weapon]? – Probably not, the whole point was to keep the recipe menu leaner and only cover unique weapons that couldn’t be obtained more than once or crafted to T4, and I’m more interested in playing the game than keeping up with compatibility for multiple mods. The author of Reforge Everything is actively incorporating modded weapons and armor into their mod, so I would use that instead.
Can you add unique armors/bows/firearms? – As of right now, no. Immersion is king for me, and there’s no animations for forging armor. Henry is not a bowyer or a gunsmith, so he wouldn’t be able to craft those either. If I can figure out how to add sketches for your blacksmith apprentice to craft (the same way the Kuttenberg armor is crafted) I would love to implement armor/bow/firearm crafting in that fashion, but it’s a very low priority. In the meantime, if you’re interested in armor coverage, I’ll once again refer you to the Reforge Everything mod.
You forgot [unique vanilla weapon] – Oops, let me know which one and I’ll add it.
Installation
Extract the mod directly to mods folder or install with Vortex.
Compatibility
Should be compatibility with everything, only adds new recipes, doesn’t overwrite anything. If a base game recipe was overwritten because I added it by mistake, let me know and I’ll fix it.
