About Cao's Gem Crafting v1
Gems have more value, Crafting with Gems v1
I love to find gems, they feel like a treasure item, but they dont have much use.... so i decided to make them have some magical property. ... with this mod you can cook a gem with a bottle of ale, and it becomes a potion. or you can tan a wolf hide with a gem and it becomes a scroll. you can also smelt 3 normal gems into 1 flawless gem of the same type.
i figured ale is so common, alcohol brings out the potency. and i couldve done paper, but i figured wolves have some spiritual-magical potential so it makes sense to make scrolls from their hide.
i plan to add ALOT MORE recipes when the modtools come out... for now iam limited what i can do. ( i wouldve loved to make a new unique potion and scroll effects for each gem)

Posted Jan 31, 2012I love this idea, I feel the same way about gems. In fact I often have a chest full of them in my house hoping to find some interseting use for them. I did that in morrwind and oblivion too.
although im not gonna download this as it sounds like you got some great ideas for it so i think i'll wait till CK is out.

Posted Dec 1, 2011not sure if it could boost enchanting... enchanting works based on how strong the soul gem is and the enchantments u can get ... hmmm...
ill keep it in mind... i was wanting to make it so u can add gems to a normal sword, and it gives it, fire damage, frost etc. ... i could make it so it produces some sword in the game already... but i want to wait for mod tools, then i can make new swords with my own enchantments, my own #s that each gem is worth, and have it so u can keep adding gems and add more effects.... hopefully

Posted Dec 1, 2011Hiya, So i was wondering if you could make this so that you could use gem to boost Enchanting. Like a Ruby would bost Fire Damage, Spafire - Ice, garnet - Shock, Amethyst - Fortfy skills, Emerald - Stat skills, Diamond - everything else. (or something along those lines.) and it would improve it by like 5% for norm and 10% for flawless. that would be an awsome way to use gems. ^_^
