Hi,

Does anyone know, why some items are, when being improved, exquisit, while some are epic? Its quiet strange that my Blades Sword is "epic" with 86dmg (improved with steel), while dawnbreaker, a daedric artifact, is only "exquisit" with 75dmg (improved with ebony).. THis goes for Volendrung too, only "exquisit".
Those adjectives are not even homogenous within the specific materials products.. (ebony armor - epic, all of the other armor parts - exquisit)

I dont think, the adjectives are determined by your smithing lvl, but the material of the primary item. Can anyone confirm that? Thank you!

Ps: Boost Dawnbreaker, let mages improve their clothes and staffs, and patch the Boethias shrine bug (repeating phrase of Boethia, not accessible)

Has to do with your smithing level and whether or not you have the perk to double your improvement with the material being affected.

Thank your for your answer
You were right, just tried to improve my old, already improved armor, and you can improve it to your current level. So no worry that u wasted your items, just overwrite the improvement with a new, better one
