My character favorites ebony weapons, which I've already improved at the grindstone. I don't have any smithing perk and it's a long way to the ebony smithing perk, which would improve ebony weapons twice as much. Since I've already improved them once, will I have the chance to improve them further thanks to the perk or they can be improved only once?
as you develop the smithing skill you can improve any weapon or armour using the tables or grind stone - I've got as far as Epic and not sure if there's anything about that yet - you can also enchant the item, which means if you don't have the perk to "smith" magical items you can't improve them any more - I suggest that you spend at least take that one perk that way you can still improve enchanted items
