A Mod that makes Enchanting Less Expensive? : III

» Tue Oct 14, 2014 12:02 am

I'm not sure if this is a hardcoded thing, it probably is, but if it isn't, I thought I may as well ask.

Enchanting in Morrowind is really expensive, normally, I don't have a problem with this, since it gives me something to do with gold, but when creating an enchanted ring for thousands of gold when you could have bought one for a few hundred, it gets a bit silly.

I wanted to create a decent restore health amulet, it'd cost me around 10 thousand gold for the enchantment I want. That's not even constant effect or anything drastic, it's pretty silly tbh, especially since I have to provide the soul gem and item.

So yeah, any mod to lower the costs?

I can't think of any off the top of my head. I seem to recall there was some discussion in the Morrowind Code Patch thread about this, but Hrnchamd didn't get that much feedback. Actually, the discussion may've been on the value of player-created enchanted items. Hrm. :unsure:

Didn't find one that did only that, so I made you one. http://www.mediafire.com/download/zfi1fk1su0ey7gq/NwahDiscount.zip. You got the choice between 1/2, 1/4 and 1/10 prices.

It would totally make sense. You can buy some pretty nice enchanted items at various vendors for anywhere from 5 to a couple hundred gold (eg Raviir's Devil spear), so why does it cost tens of thousands to make the same item? That little restore stamina amulet you can buy from the Balmora mages guild enchanter costs 5 gold but to pay her to create the same item, when you supply the item and the sould gem costs several thousand? Makes no sense. Of course the value of some of those enchanted itemd you can buy from vendors should also be increased. A one time use restore stamina potion, even a cheap one that does not restore that much stamina, costs more than that amulet. That does not make much sense either.

I think the MCP revalues filled soul gems so those don't cost thousands, it would be nice if it also revalued vendor enchanting to make it something that people might actually want to use.

EDIT

Nice! I have added this to my collection.
