The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Yes you can upgrade it more than once, and no it's not necessarily about the perk.. Even without the perk for whatever set you're working on, if you have + smithing gear and/or a good blacksmith potion you can still hit legendary.

So far I've seen Flawless, Exquisite and Legendary, they're just grades to give you a rough estimate of how 'good' the gear is.

I had upgraded both my Ebony swords to legendary and then put an enchantment on them, I don't remember exact numbers, but they were at like 40 dmg or something, this was at 90 smithing. After I got smithing to 100, I went back and upgraded them again, they're still legendary but the damage climbed 5-7 points.

If I were to wear + smithing gear and drink a potion, I could probably upgrade them a third time.

I was unaware that you could actually upgrade multiple times if the initial upgrade was weaker. I assume that the new upgrade simply overwrites the previous.

time for another fun filled day of bodyguarding my husband on his roundabout journey to whiterun =/

Just let him die and collect the insurance.

Legendary is just the modifier attached to it when you upgrade a piece of armor while having the relevant perk for it (as far as I could tell). You can't upgrade a piece of armor more than once. You can't get smithing higher than 100, but you can enchant ring/necklace/hands/body with a bonus to smithing (makes upgrading gear better), and you can brew potions that do the same.

For enchanting, if you are rich just go around the world buying filled soul gems (college at winterhold is great) and use them to enchant random pieces of gear until you hit 100. Another method is to get the black star first, enchant a weapon with soul trap, then go on a killing spree while recharging your weapon after every kill. Or you could take the long/cheap road and buy a bunch of unfilled petty/lesser gems, then go slaughter innocent animals to fill them.

For alchemy, I highly suggest leveling enchanting first. Alchemy skill ups are based on the value of the potion you make. So, you should first enchant a full set of alchemy+ gear (ring/necklace/head/gloves) and then find recipes which make high value potions. This process will make you ridiculously rich, assuming you sell all the useless potions you make. Some good recipes are:
giant's toe + glowing mushroom
bear claws + hanging moss + eye of sabre cat
glow dust + glowing mushroom + hanging moss
creep cluster + mora tapinella + scaly pholiata
Anything that has slow, paralyze, or invisible

The highest I got my crafting gear was +29% on each piece, and my best potions were 32% enchanting and 130% smithing. Can anyone confirm this is the highest?

edit: Also, there is an item "Notched Pickaxe" at the top of the throat of the world which increases smithing skill by 1. I found it after making all of my gear, so I'm not sure how much of an impact that has.

I have a giant icicle sticking out of me.. was like 2 hours ago was bum rushing an encampment. One of the mages hit me with a ice spell, and it's still visible. Nothing seems to be getting rid of it.

Any suggestions? It's rather annoying.

Fast Travel? Load a save? Sleep? Transform into a werewolf?

so he spent a couple hours wandering between 2 farms jacking wheat, and then he finally starts heading the right way and he goes right up to a fort of mages and walks through some flamethrower traps and right into the mages and dies.

i raged soooooo hard.

then i reloaded, and told him to go to ivarstead, and he's going right so far now.

Dragons are always going to get murdered with my bow.

But I'm wondering what Stones/Powers everyone uses asides from Warrior/Thief/ Mage skill up stones? Previous games id always use Lady. Kind of debating between a few in this one.

29% is not the highest
