tbh
this needs more attention
it makes sense that this adds into your smithing skill
(the amount needs to be lessened by like 25% but goddam it makes so much sense)

@TechWolf20 - You would have to open Frostfall in the Creation Kit, find the tanning rack it adds, and go to the object's properties; there's a box that is labeled something like "Uses skill" which will probably be set to "no" or "none"; change that to Smithing, et voila.

I would like too know how you did this, I'm useing frostfall & the tanning rack it add's doesn't work with this.

my mistake i was using a smleter that was renamed and after testing with other smelters i relized the issue and apologize for my shortcomings

@andrewec - If it's not working you have a mod conflict. This alters the tanning racks and smelters. Any other mod that does anything to them will overwrite these changes.

It is not giving experience for when i smelt items? I have reverse smithing and it doesnt work with gear or ore.

Turns out you had the idea for this mod and I was asking the wrong person. I asked permission from Erbos(T.S.A) that has tanning, smelting, and cooking = EXP to use his/her idea. He/she never got back to me with a yes or a no. Double checked tonight to see if he/she replied, and he/she didn't. When searching I found your mod with sep. of 2012 stamped on it.

I asked if I could use his/her idea and put all 3 into a mod of my own, and I was going to add others also. Then saw that he/she did just that. He/she put all 3 into one mod just recently. The day that I asked permission infact.

So I was wondering if you wouldn't mind if I went ahead and made the mod I was going to make? Please let me know, and thank you.

This works really well with the Reverse Smithing mod where you can recycle your weapons and armor for the ingots that they're made from. Thank you! :)

I disagree, while making advanced armors can be difficult, putting rocks in a smelter is pretty universally the same.

IMO, all Smithing, Smelting & Tanning, should be limited by your skill. (Maybe a seperate branch for each?)

i have always wondered why they didn't have this in the original game thanks for the hard work

i just craft iron dagger and enchant them with petty gems, that way enchant goes up at the same time, and i sell the enchanted daggers for twice the value.
ur friend must be really hot for you to make this mod XD

Thanks, i was sick of crafting gauntlets all the time=)

Very nice for people who don't use armor for their main character but want to make the good stuff for followers.

its really good because now i dont always like to smith iron daggers or leather gauntlets it got annoying :P great mod

Nice mod,does what it says.I agree with videogamerlink,great mod for mages who don't really smith to much yet want to level it.

This works well with Craftable Clothes and Robes for mages; as mages do not need heavy armor, they can just smelt it down to use for enchantable equipment instead like circlets, necklaces, and rings. Instant add and fav!

Thank you!
