Zamfir’s mystical archery arsenal
UPDATE HISTORY:
To the one person who dl'd the Falkreath version first - I had to upload a fixed version because the first one I uploaded had the wrong sign attached to the post outside Zamfir's shop - my apologies
8/3/12: Added optional version where Zamfir's shop is located on a cliff overlooking Falkreath. There is no quest associated with this version.
8/2/12: Added optional version where Zamfir's shop is in Riften. There is no quest associated with this version
WHAT THIS MOD DOES:
Zamfir’s Mystical Archery Arsenal is a mod that gives you an alternative to using traditional ranged magic, and lets you imbue ranged weapons with magic that rivals that of traditional offensive magical powers. Zamfir is a venerable sage and warrior from Hammerfell who has had the secrets of mystical archery passed down through his family for generations. He now runs a shop outside Whiterun where he sells the wonderful and deadly arrows that he creates with his magic. If you are lucky and willing to venture out on a quest to help Zamfir, then he may just teach you his secrets as well. Once Zamfir’s knowledge is yours, you will be able to forge his arrows at the smithy, and there will be no stopping you once Zamfir’s arsenal is yours to command (actually Zamfir does not guarantee your survival even with his weapons but there is a 30 day money back guarantee on all his bows).
EACH ARROW AND QUIVER has a distinct texture based on the glass arrow and quiver. The texture for each arrow should at least somewhat resemble the effect of the arrow. For example, an arrow of fire will be orange, red, or yellow, while an arrow of frost will be blue.
HOW TO GET ZAMFIR’S WEAPONS
A. QUEST EDITION
1)Simply buy them from him. Zamfir runs a wonderful shop outside Whiterun where he sells his arrows as well as a number of other odds and ends, and many ingredients that go into forging his arrows.
2)Forge them yourself. Zamfir’s knowledge does not come for free. If you are willing to help him out on a short quest, he may reward you by imparting his knowledge to you, giving you the option of making his arrows at the forge. If you want the recipes with which to forge his arrows, you will need to get his book.
B. NON-QUEST EDITION (choose shop location - Whiterun, Riften, or Falkreath)
1) Simply buy them from him
or
2) Buy Zamfir's book from him. Read the book to see what ingredients you need to forge the arrows. You must have the book on your person to be able to forge them. Fortunately, due to the amazing magics imbued within its pages, the book is weightless so it won't affect your inventory.
Zamfir’s weapons come in three general categories. In general, the more powerful the arrow, the more knowledge in smithing and archery you will require to forge it, and the more expensive it is to buy.
INSTALLATION:
ONLY CHOOSE ONE FILE! You cannot have multiple Zamfir's shops installed. Zamfir will not stand for competition!
*PLEASE use NMM to make it easy on yourself and in case you want to uninstall. This mod has custom scripts, voices, meshes, textures, and more so uninstalling manually might be a pain in the arse.
1)Use NMM
Or
2)Manual Install: drop the “data” folder in your Skyrim folder and choose to merge any folders it asks you to. It will not ask you to overwrite anything in vanilla or other mods you may have installed.
*NOTE that in testing, sometimes right after installing the mod, Zamfir fails to give you the opportunity to do the quest when you first meet him. I have no idea yet why this is, but if it happens to you, simply save your game, quit Skyrim, restart Skyrim, load your saved game, and voila! Problem solved (don’t know why this works but it does).
