Catalog & calculator versions
414 discoverable objects and 48 families. The batch and production calculator uses the pinned version above. Newer reference inventories retain their own source version and costs in each object detail.
Introduction and meaningful-change records retain their own source evidence.
Supported scope and limits
- Tables are guide coverage, not a claim that every mod, Creation Club item, or unique item is represented. Craftable combinations in Alchemy are experimental: the guide explains that output effects and potion strength depend on shared effects, skill and perks, so no invented fixed alchemy recipe matrix is included. Enchanting also depends on learned effects, source items, soul-gem size and skill and is described, but no fixed recipe table is exposed. Tempering is excluded because the guide describes per-item improvement operations, not a complete base-item matrix in this table set. Ingredient costs are crafting material amounts only; no gold purchasing prices are treated as costs.
- Image metadata is a separately dated wiki snapshot; recipe source versions remain unchanged. Missing or ambiguous infobox images are not replaced with game covers or unrelated art.
- Full armor-set infobox totals and NPC wearing-set illustrations are excluded from individual crafted armor-piece facts and art; exact Armor Piece pages are used where available.
Source record
Source-site content terms were not independently evaluated; this bundle transcribes factual recipe fields and redistributes no game artwork.

Checksum & review record
50c757cfdac21c802db015b16f6bd9e8981d2c46513ec834dcf6faab503b706f
Extracted 322 fixed-bill rows from 30 source tables with numeric ingredient quantities or source-implied single units. Items preserve source quality stats and guide-section family. Reviewed sample bills and finite example goals; alchemy and enchanting remain out of recipe scope because their outcomes depend on learned effects/skill rather than a fixed source-listed bill. Native references and quantities validated on import; full current-release and editorial acceptance is tracked separately.
Verification status
Source joins and calculation fixtures checked. Guidance includes a source-grounded GPT-6 Luna review. Gameplay testing was not performed and is not required by the current review policy.
