I've always found it weird that the player is the only one able to temper items. The NPCs all talk about how great Eorlund Greymane is but even a starting player can temper an iron sword to be better than what he sells. This mod fixes that. All the blacksmiths will now offer to temper your items for you, provided you have the upgrade material and can afford it. Different smiths have different skills and perks as well as different costs. As of right now the smiths are mostly the same but future versions will diversify them as well as add quests to unlock the higher level smiths.

Requires SKSE

You have to give the item to be tempered to the smith, they will give it back and then show the tempering menu. Its a pain but it lets you temper modded weapons as well as keep the mod small. Only give one item at a time or they might get confused and keep something.

This mod should be fully compatible with any other mod as long as they use the vanilla weapon and armor materials. This mod does not change or remove any of the vanilla assets so I don't think it will conflict with anything.

I'm still working on this so balance suggestions, bug reports, and the like are greatly appreciated.
