nitevision92 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I'm a little confused here. What determines the extent to which I can upgrade my weapons and armour? Sometimes I'm able to upgrade my sword/armour to a higher level of damage/protection, but other times everything's grayed out with the game saying "You do not have the required skills to craft this item." Do I have to level up or something first? FYI my smithing is already at 100 and I'm trying to improve steel weapons- I do have the steel smithing skill.

Matrriosh Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 If your smithing is 100 then your weapon or armor is already at max if you upgraded it. Not all weapons can have same max dmg,it depends on base dmg when you find them or when they are made. Someone correct me if im wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handofbane Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Possibly silly question - do you have Arcane Smithing, and are you trying to upgrade enchanted/magic items rather than just regular steel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have Arcane Smithing, but I'm trying to upgrade regular, boring steel.Which reminds me- I can upgrade my Skyforge Greatsword but the Skyforge steel dagger I bought from Eorlund doesn't show up in the upgrade list.

Handofbane Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Very strange, not sure what to tell you then. I have encountered a few items that cannot be upgraded at all, though that may be more because they are uniquely named, or odd materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a +X% enchantment or potion active, you'll be able to further upgrade an item. If you had no +X% to smithing, and you upgrade an item, then that item will be 'Legendary' and be unavailable to upgrade. Then get +X% effect on and go to upgrade again (assuming mats in inventory) and it will be available to upgrade with an increase, dependent on the +X%. Not entirely sure if that's exactly what's happening in your case, but I know that _can_ make items sometimes be available and other times not.

Matrriosh Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Its happening to me also,i am lvl 33 with my new character,i have smiting 85,steel smiting+arcane smiting and i cannot upgrade skyforge steel dagger,i tryed on every grinding stone,item is not shown in inv when i try to upgrade it. Same thing is with nightingale sword,but i read somewhere that best version of sword with max enchantments is bugged and cannot be upgraded,so i think that some other weapons have bug also. If someone has figured out how to fix this i would be thankful if you can share it,or maybe if someone can make mod or if there is a mod can you tell which one is it. Thank you.
