Little forboding, but I found hunks of Blackrock in a few of the chests within the Soul Cairn. Freaky, but somewhat fitting

Anyone know of any bows similar to this? I love working for your really good end game item. But this is the only one I can find with that kind of feeling. I love it, but I'd like to have more. A point in the right direction would be appreciated.

whats the id for the black crystel

Make sure you're writing it exactly as I did, with the quotemarks. If none of the IDs turn up even after that then chances are the mod's not active, in which case you'll wanna check the Data Files section of the launcher.

im trying the help command for the sword and its not working

thanks bro

Putting this in: help "black sword" should turn up its ID.

hey

what is the name of the sword so i can type it in the console

whats th ID number

Very well, for now the sword will be kept in a chest

I'll see what I can do. I think mainly its the normal maps at fault so I'll touch on them, the diffuse textures I'll prolly keep uncompressed because, with how dark they are, compression really mucks them up.

yeah maybe, can you fix it? i realy like the sword :p

Most likely has to do with the textures. It shouldn't be a total lockup though, it may take a little bit for the game to load it. That's the only possible reason it'd happen though, that I know.

If you equip the sword the game freezes

It's different depending on if it's the unbalanced sword or the full one. The 2-handed unbalanced sword has a base damage of 20, while the 1-handed is 16. The fully powered 2-handed is 25 while the 1-handed is 20.

how much damage does the sword have?

It can be either, there's a one handed and a two handed version you can make. I think the one-handed version ends with (1h) but I could be mistaken. The help command should show the name of the item along with the ID.

is it a greatsword or a sword?

Usually I put stuff in the world, like I did with a fair number of things in Artifacts of Ultima, but the Black Sword was an exception since in Ultima 7 the Avatar forged the thing, so I kept to that. But, how folk go about gettin' it isn't a big deal to me, so long as they can enjoy the mod.

thanks man, i wasnt gonna subscribe if there wasnt a console code. Looks great! i just dont like crafting stuff lol

Your best bet is to do help "black sword" in the console, that'll bring up the ID for the sword. The first two digits in the ID change depending on the load order, so doing the help command is necessary if you don't have Wrye Bash or Mod Organizer.

is there a console command at all?

Dwarven Centurions, Dwarven boss chests and Falmer boss chests are probably your best bets, but it can also (rarely) come out of dwarven spiders, Falmer, or ore veins.

oh ok thanks for the help and what is the fastest way to get blackrock

There's conditions that have to be met before it'll show up. You need the Ebony Smithing perk and at least 1 piece of blackrock before it'll appear in the Ebony category, plus it can only be made at the Skyforge, and as such won't show up at normal forges.

the mod wont seem to apper in the black smith tab at all

No problem, and thanks. :3

I see, It's not that big of a deal to me, I just wanted to know if there was some way to smooth it out. thanks for the help. Keep making awesome mods dude, love it. :)

The lag is due to the textures being HD and uncompressed, so the game hangs for a little bit since it's loading them. I experience the same thing and don't really mind it since it doesn't affect gameplay (in my case), but that's just me.

If ya wanna fix it you'll have to extract the textures from the BSA and compress them or reduce their size (They're 2048 normally, so you can downscale all or some to 1024). Both the 1-handed and 2-handed versions of the sword use the same textures.

I've noticed that whenever I equip the sword, it lags my game up a bit. is there a way to fix it? it's with the 1-handed version, I dont know about the 2-handed because I play light armor, single handed weapons, destruction magic and bows. how does one fix the little burp?

You need to have at least 1 piece of blackrock before the recipe shows up. If ya do and it still isn't showing, check the Misc section in the smithing menu. The sword is classified as both Blackrock (a custom material keyword) and Ebony, so it might swippity-swap between the two categories.

ive tried to make the Black sword with the skyforge but cant seem to find it on the ebony material please can you help me

Looking up the DDB, I...can honestly say I don't see much of a resemblence. The Dark Dragon Blade is a pretty anime looking sword, what with the fire-plume like blade and it nearly being as tall or a bit taller than Ryu, while the Black Sword here is a fair bit more utilitarian (on top of actually pre-dating the DDB).

nice sword freind kinda looks like the dark dragon blade from ninja gaiden games but i might be mistaken but cool

Found "Tenebrae", now looking forward to this one. Jolly good.

Yes, have found a couple of two stone yields.

Yeah, keep at it. There are various avenues you can find it in but all of them have fairly low yields, though I think in falmer boss chests and ~maybe~ dwarven boss chests there's a small chance of getting 2, of course that's if you're lucky.

In a future update, I'll most likely reduce the requirement from 10 to 5 since I'll be bringing ebony or a metal into the crafting recipe (since I've recently found out the blade of the Black Sword is supposed to be metal, it's the hilt that's blackrock).

This black rock really is rare, wowzers! Quite a challenge. Haven't given up though.

To difficult, to obtain..............................

Haha, nah, not unless you snag the Dragonborn DLC, the chair comes with that.

is the chair included?

Oh, duh, I should have realized that... *facetalon*

You can use the console (activated by hitting the ~ button) and type "player.additem [item ID]", sans quotes and with the [item id] replaced with the Blackrock's item code, which you can find out by typing "help blackrock" (sans quotes) into the console.

How could you spawn it in?

Actually if your a cheater like me you could just spawn some black rock ore, or even the sword for that reason. But, I don't explore enough this sword is too epic to not have any efort into getting the ore. :3

epik

No problem, happy hunting. :3

Thank you. No doubt I will enjoy the search. Jolly good.

It can pop up in several places: Ore veins, Dwarven Spiders, on Falmer and in Falmer boss chests, in Dwarven boss chests and on Dwarven Centurions. It's rarer in some of those than it is on others, and the boss chests have a chance for 2 to show up.
