I'm making a rebalancing mod that is intended to be able to make smithing completely disposable. The mod is balanced around players who never use smithing to sharpen weapons. By giving the player abilities that increase base weapon damage equally as much as smithing can without exploiting. Which is why I am interested in the highest base damage of weapons that have been buffed by smithing, without using the alchemy/enchanting/smithing combination exploit. I believe I have balanced two handed weapons perfectly, but there are other issues, especially with daggers- because I have no idea how they scale endgame at the moment.

I'm also interested in what the base damage of 1 handed weapons, and bows are, so if you used smithing on your endgame weapons without the above described exploit, I am very interested in the base damage of those weapons. You can actually help me a lot by simply saying, how high you have gotten your base dagger damage in vanilla Skyrim without exploiting.

So if you happen to be a player who plays (or played) vanilla Skyrim, who uses smithing but doesn't use exploits in the process, can you please tell me the stats of your weapons?

I'm on vanilla Skyrim (xbox), my PC uses smithing but has no perks in it. She uses guantlets which improve smithing by 17% and she brews a potion which improves smithing 76%. She has tempered her steel daggers to Flawless quality which puts their un-enchanted damage at 24.

Does this help?

I'm specifically interested in the damage output of weapons made of uncommon materials stronger than steel, although thanks for responding.

You can see them yourself in the Creation kit.

I assume you should have the Creation kit for adequate modding.

I don't know the non "exploited' way, but the method of necromage vampire, with 100 in all 3 and maxed boost with potions and enchants, I got a Daedric Dagger with a base damage of 224, of course I am unsure if that is including my bonus from Armsman 4/5 for 80% more damage.

I could take a guess and say Daedric is about 50 (I want to say 48)
