![]() Quality levels continue past Legendary, although the displayed quality will not reflect that.Unlike Enchanting, the same improved weapon/armor can be modified again if your Smithing skill increases or by using potions or enchanted apparel that provide a Fortify Smithing effect: this of course costs another ingot of whatever metal or item is involved in improving it. The Smithing level required to unlock these qualities depends upon whether the character has the Smithing perk of the item's material. The levels of item qualities are Fine, Superior, Exquisite, Flawless, Epic, and Legendary. Using the Grindstone/Workbench allows the refinement of weapon/armor depending on the character's Smithing level. The Dawnguard add-on also adds the ability to create the even stronger Dragonbone weapons, provided the respective perk is purchased. However, when upgraded to Legendary quality, the damage difference between a glass weapon and a Daedric one will be less than 10% (exact number depends on weapon type). Both ebony and Daedric weapons are better than glass ones, which is the best type offered by the left-hand branch. The available weapons are also an important difference between the left and right branches. The lighter weight of Dragonplate armor may be of more importance, unless you have either the Conditioning perk or activate The Steed Stone, both of which negate the adverse effects of heavy weight. Therefore the difference in armor rating between Dragonplate and the best heavy armor, Daedric, is not necessarily significant. Also note that damage reduction from armor maxes out at 567 displayed armor rating, which can be achieved with nearly any armor in the game given sufficient improvements via tempering and armor skill. Since the left-hand branch includes medium-quality heavy armor ( steel plate, via the Advanced Armors perk), the left-hand branch can also be a good choice for heavy armor specialists. The left-hand branch is shorter, requiring one fewer perk than the right-hand branch to reach Dragon armor. ![]() Players may wish to focus exclusively on one of the two branches - either the left-hand branch (primarily light armor), or else the right-hand branch (almost all heavy armor). While the skill tree might appear to be a circle, it is really two separate paths, both ending at Dragon Armor, which allows creation of the best light armor ( Dragonscale) and second-best heavy armor ( Dragonplate).
