So, I heard you like bound weapons. This true?

No you dont.For light armor you need the perks on the left side, thats light armor. The right side is for heavy, mainly.You want to aim for the Dragon Scale armor.Although Daedric is slightly better then dragon scale for heavy armor users, it takes a looooong time before you can make them compared to dragon scale, which you can make as soon as you ding 100, as by that time you have killed atleast 2 dragons, which is all you need to have enough bones and scales for a full set.As for light armor user.....just work out the left side, unlock it all.You need what, like 4 perks in total i think.You should NOT take the right side, like Dwemer, Orcish, Ebony and Daedric. Those are for heavy armor users only.Unless...you want to make the weapons.....................Remember that smithing is also for weapons.And a weapon you are not skilled in, with the perk, you can never get to legendary even with 100.But, once you have got the dragon scale, you can start going backwards in the heavy armor line, cause you want to get Daedric and possibly ebony, but skip the rest.Since you want to make youserlf a Daedric or Ebony bow or other weapons later.

If all your using is light armor, all you need are the light armor perks... Like, I only use heavy armor, so all I have are the perks on the right side of the branch. No need for light armor ones. Unless you use heavy weapons, in which case yeah you would need the perk to improve it to the max.

Thanks guys
So I still don't understand how to get my blade of woe etc to legendary? Plus other enchanted weapons and armour?
Also is the dragonscale better than ancient DB set and nightingale please?

there is a perk you can take under Blacksmithing, called " Arcane Blacksmith" wich allows you to upgrade magical items

i like bound weapons .... :whistling:

Yeah I have that thanks but won't let me upgrade any more??? Does my 1 hand skill have to be higher??

hmmm, maybe your Blacksmithing isnt high enough lvl, cant really comment on it thou since my blacksmithing isnt that high aswell

It's 83 at the moment but maybe as my 1 handed is only 65 I wonder if that's the problem???

Unless...you want to make the weapons.....................

Remember that smithing is also for weapons.
And a weapon you are not skilled in, with the perk, you can never get to legendary even with 100.
But, once you have got the dragon scale, you can start going backwards in the heavy armor line, cause you want to get Daedric and possibly ebony, but skip the rest.
Since you want to make youserlf a Daedric or Ebony bow or other weapons later.

The higher your blacksmithing, the higher you can upgraded it.
But in order to upgraded it twice as much as your skill (Legendary at 100), you need the perk.
So whatever metal that weapon of yours is made of. you must have the corresponding perk in order to make it very good.

Dont worry too much about it, Im sure your self made daedric or ebony weapon will be better.

You can make ittems better then legendary by using potions and enchantments.
They will still be called legendary though.

Otherwise, ALL armor and weapon you improve once you have 100 smithing, and got the corresponding perk, WILL be legendary.

Hey guys quick question: If I have the "weightless heavy armor" perk and I smith myself the Deadric Armor set, does that mean that I'll basically have the best light (weightless) + heavy armor craftable?
