Do items level with me or do i have to avoid them untill im higher? if i do when should i get them?

Answer: yes it DOES matter, but only for some http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Leveled_Items#Nightingale_Armor

Items appear to stop leveling at 35

I'dd say just go on your way and play the game without worrying about those things.
There should be plenty nice items to discover

im an optimization freak though, I restarted my oblivion when i realized my umbra sword was actually a gimp version. first thing i did this game was find a talent calculator

yes there are leveled items , best items are at lvl 50 :/

fantastic.... all items that way or is there a list somewhere i can check when i loot something that looks unique?

? umbra had fixed stats in oblivion, it did not matter what level you were. its damage was proportionate to your blade skill but even then it would have been one of the best blades in oblivion regardless.

items are fixed in their stats, however has you progress skills such as one handed, heavy armor, smithing (for the upgrade amounts) and enchanting (for higher enchanted bonuses) you will be able to get more use of their base stats as well as upgrade them more.
furthermore as you gain levels when entering a new area the area is locked to that level, and so is the loot, as you lock areas at higher level loot quality will be better.
a note is if you use items of higher quality at lower level, for exemple steel/orchish in lvl 1-10 you will feel more powerfull because mob skills and stats ratios are set for lower tiers of equipment, thats about all I can think of in the matter.

Some quest items have stats that are set based on your level when you acquire them, and they don't improve when you level up. That's why I waited until I hit the 30's before doing the Nightingale quests to ensure I got the best stats they have to offer.

best nightingale armor is at lvl 50 -.-'

Thinking of getting that set anyway and once at 50 cheat with console and change items

No. Some quest rewards are leveled.

Bah, guess I'm waiting for Quest Award Leveler, Skyrim edition. Shouldn't even be necessary.

There aren't very many of them and, to be honest, you'll likely be able to craft something better anyway.

agreed since im failing and playing xbox i have to decide if im avoiding or boosting. Are daedra quest rewards affected? (also anyone know the item leveling cap, 50?)

isn't it possible to just destroy (or toss away) the Nightingale armor, then reget it?

Nope, Daedric quest rewards are not leveled. By my count there are only 13 leveled weapons. For armours, there is the Nightingale set, a circlet and a shield.

I got my Nightingale armor at 35, and I compared the stats to the uesp.net wiki, and the stats on them are maxed. The Nightblade I got at 32 and it was short of max stats.

OK thank you forum wizards, making a save just in case and editing first post to pass along information, idk about skyrim but in oblvion items stopped leveling at 35

This is so stupid. Skyrim needs a fix for this. It's an open world game... When I chose to do nightingale at any lvl I want to be rewarded for what I did on that moment and I don't want to be punished later on when I come to know I can't get that item anymore on a higher level. Why not respawning those items from time to time? For god sake, it's a singleplayer game!

Again, you have to remember that if you have the requisite crafting skills (and you'll need at least the lvl 60 Smithing Perk to improve magical items) you will likely be able to make much better items than any of the uniques.

I don't care if you can make better anyhow... I'm talking about the system, it's ridiculous... It makes me stop playing the game the way I want it and that was not the intention in the first place.

been complaining about that since oblivion, avoid good [censored] and cry till your 35 or buy a pc and use console commands. but yeah stupid as hell

to ruin alot of the fun in your game and power level to 35 do this http://www.gamefront.com/skyrim-level-up-glitch/

Daedric quests don't appear to be affected.

If you're planning to use smithing and enchanting (and alchemy) to their full effect, you'll end up with items that are far, far stronger than any quest reward, anyway. Of course, you may be concerned about the balance issues with such a course...
