Arrowsmith: Dawnguard Edition v.1a

Arrowsmith allows you to craft arrows in bundles of 50.
This Dawnguard Edition replaces the Dawnguard arrow crafting recipes with the original Arrowsmith recipes and adds new recipes for Dragonbone Arrows and the various Crossbow Bolts.

Arrowsmith Special Edition is available here: https://mods.bethesda.net/en/skyrim/mod-detail/3016722

If you don't have Dawnguard use the Vanilla Edition

Do not use both editions at the same time.

Q: Why did you make a Dawnguard version if Dawnguard already has arrow crafting?
A: Several reasons:
1. To rebalance the arrow crafting. Arrowsmith: Dawnguard Edition makes the more powerful arrows a little harder to get, requiring rare or expensive materials to make them.
2. Arrowsmith also adds recipes for Ancient Nord Arrows and Nord Hero Arrows.
3. Arrowsmith also requires fletchings for most arrows and adds several ways to get them.
4. Some players who used the Vanilla Edition asked for it.

Q: If sided with the Vampires can I still make crossbows and bolts?
A: Yes, with this mod you can.
If you haven't completed the quest Destroying the Dawnguard, do the side quests for the Vampires (ask them for work) until you get the quest. Then kill Sorine Jurard (required to complete the quest) and loot Sorine's Journal from her dead body.
If you completed the quest before loading this mod (or updating to v.3d) then return to Fort Dawnguard and find Sorine's Journal on a shelf near the smelter and workbench.
Read Sorine's Journal to learn the recipes. You still need the Steel Smithing and Dwarven Smithing perks to craft the crossbows and bolts.
