OK folks - I've just discovered a new bug in patch 1.9.

I'm on the PS3 - so I'm not sure if this is localized, but I haven't found anybody yet who has talked about this.

Basically when I go legendary with Smithing, it breaks all my enchanted smithing gear so that it no longer applies. o_O

I have gloves, chest, neck and ring enchanted at 29% - so it's not anything cheap. I'm not even using this falmer mask/crown bug I've heard about.

I just tested it out with an older file...

Right now, if I don't go legendary, I currently am able to smith Steel with 4 perks in smithing (one at the bottom - which is smithing) to make it [Legendary] status, even before taking a 130% smithing potion.

BUT

If I go Legendary and add 1 perk to the bottom to steel - if I go in and try to smith Steel, the quality is now.... [exquisite]!?

After removing and putting on all my enchanted gear - I've discovered it is only applying ONE 29% boost... and it seems to be random on which gear, so long as I equip 2 pieces. After that there's absolutely NO BOOST by the other pieces at all that apply, despite my (active powers) saying they're active.

Has anybody run into this!? This is REALLY infuriating that going Legendary in smithing completely makes smithing enchants null and void! I was going to make this my PRIMARY method of game-leveling! I'm not going to GREATLY sacrifice my ability to make quality of items JUST to level... ugh... >_<

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!! THX!

I'm on the PS3, have enchanting gear, and made Smithing Legendary. This had not happened to me. I've even made smithing Legendary 10 times.

Is your enchanted gear at the 29% level on each item?

Here's a question - are yours dual-enchanted? Mine are with Alchemy/Smithing (chest being alteration/smithing). Wondering if the dual-enchant breaks the second enchant if you go legendary. it's weird, as my Alchemy is perfectly fine with that gear (mind you, I haven't tried going legendary with Alchemy yet).
