Now not only do you have powerful weapons, but now you have powerful weapons with powerful enchantments!ħ. With your new powerful weapons take your 'Fortify Enchanting' potion and put as powerful an enchantment as you can on your weapon(s), maybe two if you have the skill.Ħ. From here use your powerful 'Fortify Smithing potions' to improve your weapons to do more damage.ĥ. Now, with your high smithing and 2H/1H skill make your preferred weapon.Ĥ. With your high Alchemy skill first make a bunch of powerful 'Fortify Alchemy' potions and from there even more powerful 'Fortify Smithing' and 'Fortify Enchanting' potions.ģ.

Start your leveling and perk-investing of Alchemy and Enchanting early, along with the obvious Smithing, 2H/1H, etc.Ģ. So from what everyone else said, basically:ġ. WITHOUT using that exploit you can still achieve 250-300 dmg weapons but it has to be done carefully, the games soft cap is 33% bonus on your enchants for improvement (smithing and alchemy) you use a base set of 25% bonus to alchemy on ring/neck/circlet/chest/falmer helmet.the last is there bc you can apparently equip that an a circlet at the same time.then you make a set (usually 5 if your fast w your chanting) of fortify enchanting potions.then use that potion to craft a new 5 piece set of alchemy gear, it should only take like twice through this process, 3 sets of gear total, to achieve the 33% bonus on your 5 piece set.now, the real key is to have the necromage perk and e a vampire.bc of the 25% bonus it turns that 33% into 42%.make 2 sets of potions this time with your 42%* gear (*will only say 33% when you look at it but will show 42 in active effects) it should cap your enchanting potions around 56% and then your smithing potions should be around 184% n that's your best 'without over doing it' way to get 2500 armor, an 250-300 damage depending on the weapon.(which 2500 armor is way too much, but it's cool anyways lol I'm assuming the video link above is for the fortify resto potion exploit, that is on fact the way to achieve stupid damage on weapons, one I had forged just to test had over 13 trillion that takes all the fun out of the game, don't get me wrong, one shotting things can be fun, but it takes away the challenge from the rest of the game.
