as many of you know not all items can be upgraded which is clearly a bit strange (bug?) like the nightingale blade, ebony blade (this does not even get perk effects o.O), clavicus mask and many others.

is there a mod or a way without the ck to adress this issue?

also would make more sense if you could upgrade all deadric artifacts to legendary without potions if you have the deadric smithing perk.

anyone? :/

You can upgrade those...Just not to the same extent that you could the normal weapons. Are you asking if they can be upgraded to the same extent? If you mean you cannot upgrade them at all then I think you have a bug. I have an Epic Nightingale Blade.

If you are on PC. the console commands "player.setav smithing X" (minus the quotations, nd replace X with a number) will get you any damage value or armor rating you could want. player.setav smithing 400 for example will make you have your smithing to about 400% efficiency. This makes your skill 400. You can easily remedy it back to lower level or the same level in the same fashion.

Wrong place for a mod request btw. Next time put any mod requests in the Skyrim mods forum.

hah? this is the mod forum o.O

i cannot upgrade my nightingale blade at all. tough maybe they fixed that? do you have patch 1.2 installed?`because i didnt dl that one yet because of bugs.

the ebony blade cannot be upgraded at all too and it does not get any bonuses from perks either.

i know the thing about the console. but i dont what to cheat to get this done. and it would not fix the ebony blade.

Hey there.

I'm actually planning to make a mod that does exactly this for the first stage of release. Whether I will actually get there is a good question, as I have limited time and I like to spend it playing, but I am planning this. I was deeply disturbed when I found I couldn't upgrade silver swords, or Scaled Horned Armor, or a number of other lovely items.

In the meantime, I think I've seen at least three other people who are planning to 'fix' smithing somehow. I'm not sure if they're prioritizing this fix, but it might be on their list of things to do.

Heya.

I found a mod that does what you requested!

yeah this mod works fine. thank you. tough the perkproblem with the ebony blade still remains so it stays crap even with this mod
why do they wait so long with the damn ck. this would habe been a FIVE minute fix.... lazy dev team.
