Skyforge Sword base damage = 18
Glass Sword base damage = 14

Skyforge steel is stronger than normal steel. did ya check any other steel weapons? cause that could be your issue bud.

Yes I first noticed it when delivering the steel war axe to the Jarl of Whiterun and upgraded it while at a forge. The main point is I am getting better damage from a glass 1h sword then a glass 1H axe. The heavier weapon should have greater damage other wise they are redundant.

Is the sword improved and the axe isn't?

I just...don't believe you.

You're either trolling, or you don't understand how the game works.

Steel does not have better base values than Elven, and Elven does not have better base values than Glass.

Swords < Axes < Maces for weapon damage of the same type.

1h: sword, war axe, mace
2h: greatsword, battleaxe, warhammer

These are the facts. You didn't get a copy of the game with different values, so I'm assuming there is some info we're missing here.

I know the order of the weapons thats why I made the post because the results that I have do not follow the prescribed order that they should. If they did I would not have made this post.

You still haven't told us you level in 1H and 2H skills. Are they both the same?

If you're really not trolling, do this:

Give us the exact details of what weapons you are comparing, what quality they are, what skill levels you have in 1-handed and 2-handed weapons, and any active effects on you that affect those 2 skills.

Then, and only then, can we accurately explain to you what the hell is going on.

I have chest 24% smithing 20% smithing on neck ring and gloves =84% no other Items 1h skill 55

I have more skill in 1h then 2h but no perks and thats irrelevant as 1h glass sword being greater then 1h glass axe shows that its not working as intended.

I upgraded them just now before the post and Scimitar was 51 glass sword 53 and glass axe a very poor 46 and Im pretty sure the skyforge sword is 58 but I cant find it at the mo to confirm it.

I will work on posting some screen shots.

EDIT: So yeah, killing time by making a table with the spacebar doesn't work. :sadvaultboy: DELETED!

EDIT: GOD I'm bored. Wish it was 5:00 so I could get back to Skyrim.

?For instance, say you have a Smithing level of 45 (with Dwarven Smithing perk), and pieces of Elven and Dwarven equipment you want to improve. With appropriate supplies, you would improve the Dwarven to Exquisite, but the Elven only to Superior.
?Values higher than 100 can be attained using "Fortify Smithing" equipment and Smithing potions, thus allowing any item to be made Epic or Legendary. With the appropriate perk, values continue to increase at the rate of about +0.2 per skill point for Armor, and +0.1 for other items.
