Craft skill improvements

The ultimate vanilla plus crafting model! Fix bugs, correct inconsistencies, remove annoyances and improve balance while retaining as much of the original design as possible and maintaining compatibility with your favorite content plugins!

Overview

Main features:

Universal potions and enchantments and their player-made equivalents have similar ranges. No universal item is too weak or too powerful for the player to craft an item of equal strength.

Various alchemical and enchantment effects have been tweaked to improve skill balance, consistency, and cohesion.

Crafting skills do not directly enhance each other, and related effects have been replaced by new ones. This encourages build variety and eliminates some tedious gameplay practices.

Compatible with vanilla-based content add-ons such as Beyond Skyrim and Rare Curios.

More features:

The gold value of certain player-created potions now better matches the universal equivalent.

Armor skill potions now increase armor effectiveness by a percentage, making them significantly more efficient.

Blocking potions also increase bashing damage.

The poison's weakness does not stack with itself.

There are now 14 skill enchantments that can directly improve skills.

Skill progression has been improved to put more value into increasing skill levels.

Combat, magic, and stealth skills now continue to provide benefits beyond level 100.

NPCs now benefit from combat and magic enchantments.

Lunar weapons have new friendly effects.

Muffle wards now correctly display their effects and scale when enchanted.

Smaller soul gems add enchanting abilities.

The Smith formula has been adjusted for better consistency.

The Chitin and Bonemold items only appear in the menu once you visit Solstheim.

Daedric items can only be forged at night.

Perks obtained from Black Book: The Sallow Regent increase item efficiency rather than crafting, eliminating more tedious gameplay.

Includes many bugfixes related to Alchemy, Enchanting and Smithing.

Below is a more detailed breakdown of the mod's notable changes.

Player-created poison no longer has a duration.

Note: Due to the way the cost is calculated, the 1 second duration imposes an approximate (~12.3) penalty on the cost of health damaging poisons. Now they will cost the same as built-in potions. Nirnroot and Emperor Parasol Moss are being tempered to make up for the added value of the other ingredients.
