Use your newfound smithing ability to craft better gear?

...Uh...

What is this smithing Glitch and why is it destroying you?

Just as title says. I'm getting destroyed now...

So you exploited the game, now you're angry because you can't compete with enemies?

The title doesn't say anything coherent so you're going to have to fill us in on its actual meaning.

Use your imba armor you fool!

The game scales and expects you to be wearing the full Deadric armor which you can make xD

What are you going on about?

I'm assuming the OP is classifying the notion of having a stockpile of iron ingots + leather strips to make iron daggers, and getting smithing to 100 = exploit.

Hopefully, he put perks into smithing. Otherwise, whoops.

Oh, and he's levelled up because of this, and the gameworld has responded accrodingly. Makes sense.. Hmmmm... LOLOLOLOL!

Exactly lol! I can make dragon armor but i don't even like it that much... So the whole smithing thing was kind of pointless

Well did you go the light or heavy route?

Cause daedric weapons are awesome. Make one for yourself.

I went light....... I have glass weapons. Should I used some perks to go heavy? is it worth it?

» Fri Dec 02, 2011 6:48 am

Sort of/not really. If you're getting your butt handed to ya, don't burn valuable perks on the heavy tree just to hit daedric.

Still, glass weapons upgraded properly should still be comparatively effective. Have you enchanted your gear yet?

» Fri Dec 02, 2011 1:23 pm

Some of it. It won't let me upgrade my weapons to superior or legendary even though i have the necessary items. I'm about to go snag some new dragon armor (I got rid of it before) and try to learn some enchantments for it

So you power leveled smithing, but you have no combat skills?

LOL

I wouldnt say I have no combat skills. I'm 60 two handed and 50 archery. It's just that I quickly went up 6 levels now everyone has good [censored]

» Fri Dec 02, 2011 3:42 pm

You might want to try and find an item that gives +smithing to improve the quality further on the gear.

Spoiler

Try going to Markarth and doing the Forsworn Conspiracy quest. Its localized inside town so enemies shouldn't be too terrible. One of the rewards for that is a ring with +smithing I think

Congratulations. You just powerlevelled yourself into a fine BLACKSMITH. Sure, you don't know how to fight effectively.... most blacksmiths don't. Not seeing the issue. Next time, try not creating a blacksmith.... try making a warrior that does blacksmithing on the side.

» Fri Dec 02, 2011 5:02 pm

Yeah I see that now. I can go back to a past saved point but I don't feel like doing that. I'll manage for now

» Fri Dec 02, 2011 7:10 pm

Why can't i upgrade certain weapons now then?

» Fri Dec 02, 2011 12:54 pm

Having cool armor is all well n good, but you also need decent attacking skills. As a general rule for my character (I play 2 handed warrior), I never level smithing higher than my primary attack skill (2 handed) as to not level up too quickly and gimp myself like it appears you have done. This is important for me as I play on Expert.

» Fri Dec 02, 2011 1:02 pm

If by the Smithing Glitch you mean that you powerleveled it, well then you have found the games way of balancing this. And using you powerful armor and weapons wouldn't hurt either.

» Fri Dec 02, 2011 5:21 am

Wait a second.. Why on earth would you go the light-armor route? You end up at Dragon gear at the end regardless.. And Daedric (beast heavy armor and weapons in game) is on the heavy armor side.. I'm sorry but your logic escapes me.

Then you should have no problems if you just upgrade you stuff to Legendary.
