I have level 100 smithing, enchanting and alchemy. I also have some nice enchanted gear, fortify smithing and alchemy.
How high should I be able to get my fortified equipment? Currently I'm around 29% for alchemy and smithing.
How high can I get fortify smithing and fortify enchanting potions without using the console (cheating)? And how? Currently I get +147% and +32% respectively.
Is something like this possible without using the console(or photoshop)?
29% is the max cap you can get per piece of armor via the in game fortify loop. I've tried using the falmer helmet glitch to see if I can boost my enchanting up some more, but it does not. The only way you can make that armor with a fully patched game is using the console.
However, there used to be a glitch with fortify restoration that can turbo boost your skills to insane levels, and with that it was possible to make armor as shown in the picture.
That glitch you used is still available and can be used...but what you should do is wear fortify alchemy equipment, make the fortify restoration potion, drink, unequip/equip clothing, repeat till your gear is ridiculously high, fortify alchemy, then make a fortify enchanting potion and set enchantments on other equipment.
If you have the Dragonborn DLC, you can wear the armor of Ahzidal from Unearthed to give your enchanting a 10% boost. And the Black Book: The Sallow Regent will give your enchanting another 10% boost if you choose Seeker of Sorcery. When you're ready to begin making potions, just wear your Fortify Alchemy gear and read The Sallow Regent once again, this time choosing Seeker of Shadows for a 10% boost to your Alchemy.
Without exploits, my circlet tops out at 70% Archery/43% Alchemy.
Enchant your initial gear, should be 25% each on alchemy. Head piece, arms, necklace, ring. Then craft a fortify enchanting potion, which should be 25% or more. Then get 4 more of the essential pieces use potion and it'll increase the gear over the 25% gap. Rinse and repeat til your satisfied with the result. It takes more time and grinding than the restoration glitch, but in all fairness, having ten trillion damage and armor rating makes the game too easy, especially since your practically enough of a god as is at high enough levels. After over 600 hours I've gotten to level 251 without any glitches and have a set of gear with + 103% alchemy and blacksmithing(tried getting exactly 100% but oh well) works wonders too if you're a poisoner and like to throw in a few frenzies to conserve Magicka.
Hello there :D
I did a lot of research from many sources and was a bit confused how less actual information I found, so I investet many hours finding the way to the strongest weapons (max. Damage).
Very important note:
I don't use any exploits here, that's cheating in my opinion. The part with the necromage has never been fixed by the developers (while a lot of other stuff has changed) and in my opinion, it's nothing false about it.
I'll give you a little step-by-step here. You'll find optional information at the end. Note that I did this with Level 74 so I'm looking to keep this guide as small in perk-wasting as possible (without any loss!). For me, I always leveled the whole perk-trees.
Feel free to share this Guide or to turn it into a video. It would be nice, if you'd name me there, but it's ok, if you don't. :)
Another note: This guide bases on the complete Skyrim edition (Dawnguard, Heartfire and Dragonborn).
Must have-Perks:
Videos:
Go to Morthal and talk to the mage called Falion. He will cure you, if you bring him a filled "Black Sould Gem" (if you have an empty one, the easiest way would be to cast a weapon, "Bound Bow" for example, and shoot a Human to death! This will capture his soul in the Soul Gem).
Easy, just go to "Castle Volkihar" and talk to "Serana", she'll help you.
Go to Winterhold and talk to "Enthir" (he's somewhere in the college). He will sell you 2. After you bought them, wait 2 days or safe the game and restart it, to refill his stock. You can repeat this until you die.
It improves the spells on undeads. Now if you turn into a vampire, you also turn into an undead, so this point also counts on you. Potions ans gear are also in the category "Spells", which improves them also. :) Nobody seems to be sure if this is a bug or if it's wanted like this by the developers. It doesn't sound to me like this was a planned feature at the beginning, but it make sense and it also gives you a reason to play as vampire. Vampires are generally underpowered in Skyrim.
