Have you taken any perks on the smithing skill tree?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm overall level 26 and in smithing i'm with 37 perks. I'm playing on the PS3.

Cheers.

I don't quite understand your reply above.

In order to create anything besides iron you must take the required perk in the smithing tree.

Indeed. You do not gain skills by leveling, you spend your perks in order to acquire them.

Sorry for the confusion lads, this is my first Elder Scrolls adventure.

Overall: Level 26 (25 perks to the next Level)

Smithing: 37

Does this do not help?

25 perks to the next level? whaat?
You gain 1 perk per level, which you can spend in whichever tree you want to focus in.
Have you not spent any perks yet?

Are you having us on btw?

I got my smithing to 100, it sounds like you haven't spent any perk points on smithing. It's worth it because Dragonbone/scale armour is plain awesome.

lol

I don't think I've used any perks ahaha

I though that each level you needed an ammount of perks to level up to the next level.

So each time you level up you get one perk and one choice of stamina, health or magika?

So I see now I can use the perks ahahaha any advises on what are the most fundamental perks?

Oh wow lucky you, you get to spend 25 perks at once

Be careful though to choose perks you really want because you cannot redistribute them.

Smithing and enchanting seem to be popular choices.
You might also want to put some in your preferred attack style.

He thinks each level of the skill is a perk...

» Sun May 13, 2012 2:31 pm

lol sorry lads that was really noobish oh well live and learn, after all never played any of the Elder Scrolls

Now I know why the game was being so so so so so difficult in the default level !

» Sun May 13, 2012 1:30 pm

Fair play to you!

Must be like Xmas come early getting to spend all those perks!

To get the Dwarven armor smithing you have to select the perks preceding it also. I had this problem with glass armor. I hit 70 smithing and it wouldn't let me activate the Glass armor perk because I hadn't activated the plate/scale perk preceding it.
