[Sky] Perking up the crafting system

[Tigersong]

How does one edit or add perks to Skyrim? This one has an idea- creating separate perks for smithing and leatherworking, since they're really two separate crafts. Thank you for your help.

I understand that you want to create a new perk or edit a perk.

 

Creation Kit -

  Object Window

     Actor

     Actor Action

     ~

     PERK

        Right click on any of the perks in the EDITOR ID window and click new.

        You can right click any perk and duplicate it and experiment with the duplicate.

Once a perk is created, you can:

1. Go to the 'Character Menu' and select 'Actor Values'
2. A window will open with a list of Actor Values. From the list, select the skill whose tree you want to put the perk in.
3. On the right side there will be a button labeled "Perk Tree". Click that button.
4. A perk tree diagram will pop up. Right-click anywhere in the white rectangles.
5. Choose "Add Perk".
6. Select the perk you want to add to the tree.

  *NOTE:   Actor values allow you numerically adjust or rename any of the actor values in the game.

Did that help, Tigersong?

[Tigersong]

Yes; I'm just hoping to go through the CK Basics course first. That said, a little more info couldn't hurt.

 

Each perk tree is connected to a skill. Since it's not possible to create a new skill, is it also impossible to make a new perk tree?

[Ashenfire]

 

You can make new perk trees.

How many quality levels are there for armor?

[Ashenfire]

There are 6 levels of quality for items.
