I want a golden Akaviri Katana with 0 weight and Paralyze enchantment and I want it to better than the umbra sword as far health and attack damage goes. And if its not to much to ask how about adding some more detail to the blade and make it longer. I want to be placed in some deep dark Ayleid ruin and I want a book that first edition has gives some clues on where to go and how to find it. Also could you come with like a really cool epic name for it that would be great.

I'd love to try my hand at altering the Akaviri Katana model/texture, but doesn't it sound a little overpowered for putting in a dungeon? Any particular kind of detail you want on the blade, or just longer?

Well you don't have to put it in a new dungeon for it just use one thats all ready in the game. if you want, just make it scale well with the game. I just thought it would be a cool idea for a best akaviri katana. just longer would be great.

this is the color gold I want to be or as close as anyone could get it.

Do you want just the blade golden, or the hilt as well? The Akaviri Katana is already quite long, so for it to be at all plausible it would have to be a claymore if it was any longer... Of course, plausibility isn't necessary, and if you don't want it to look weird there's a way of increasing the weapon's length for purposes of attacking in the CS without altering the model itself. How would you like that done?

EDIT: But if you know enough about image-editing programs to have turned that sword-image gold, you could probably do the whole thing with little difficulty yourself, which might make a good start for modding if you're at all interested.

Ever heard of the word "please"?

Well just so you know I didn't change the color of the blade to gold in that pic I found it that way.
I didn't think about having to change the hilt length to go with the sword so just forget about that.
I want the handle of the sword to be gold also, if you can do it the parts of the handle that are black keep black but the parts that are like yellow or gold color already just make those parts the same color gold as the blade.

PS, Pretty Please

What about the goldbrand texture on the akaviri blade?

I don't like that particular shade of gold. If that is going to be the only option that will have to do I guess.

The, um, Akaviri Katana doesn't actually have any black on it. The closest thing they have is brown and a sort of sea blue.

All finished. The sword is called Seraph's Edge, is slightly less durable/powerful than a Daedric Longsword, and bypasses Resist Normal Weapons like a silver weapon. The sword can be found in Vilverin (just northwest of the Imperial City), near the entrance. I also need to go now and the filesize is too big for this forum's upload-system, so you'll need to wait five or six hours until I get back.
