I recommend putting the crossbow patches after others because they make changes to various Blacksmith leveled lists to integrate bolts and crossbows through the world.
In-depth Descriptions:
CC Crossbow Collection:
- The Expanded Crossbow Pack quest that distributes the crossbows into the Solitude Fletcher has been disabled in favor of manual leveled list integration
- The Elite Crossbows quest has not been touched, though the crossbows are still integrated.
- Rebalances crossbows based off of bows. They do slightly more damage than their respective bows, and their value matches that of Bows/Greatswords. This patch doesn't touch bolts besides distributing them.
- No longer require Dawnguard progression to craft the base crossbows. Enhanced crossbows still require progress through the Ancient Technology quest.
- Crafting recipes have been standardized. All crossbows cost 3 Firewood and 3 Metal, mixed if the vanilla recipes asked for multiple metals.
- All Enhanced Crossbows require one ingot according to their tier:
- Steel, Silver, and Imperial crossbows require one Corundum Ingot
- Dwarven, Elven, and Orcish Crossbows require one Steel Ingot
- Glass, Ebony, Daedric, Dragonbone, and Stalhrim crossbows require one Ebony Ingot
- I've built upon the default OWL leveled lists as best I can for compatibility. Anything adding to the OWL_Material_Bow leveled lists should work just fine after a bashed patch, but other crossbow patches probably don't due to having to integrate them into the main leveled lists.
- I've integrated the OWL_Weapon_Material_Bolt leveled lists as well, filling them with steel or dwarven, to allow for making bolt distribution compatibility patches.
Rare Curios - Bolts Expanded:
- Requires CC Crossbow Collection patch
- Simply adds the expanded and Rare Curios bolts into their respective OWL_Weapon_Material_Bolt leveled lists, as the Crossbow Collection patch implements them.
- Does not balance them for waccf or waat, simply integrates the bolts into the leveled lists.
