Hey guys.

I just got my character's Smithing up to 90. I am excited to make myself some Daedric armor and I am farming the materials now in game.

Now of course I want to make a good set of armor, but I don't want to take advantage of any bugs or loops in the game to make myself overpowered. Before I start enchanting and chugging potions to craft, did Bethesda ever step in and make a cap to how much you could improve things now? I don't even want to get involved if it's still unlimited because I think that's unfair... but if they stepped in and capped it then I am interested in reaching the cap.

Any info? Thanks

You want to keep from being overpowered, yet you are going to chug potions?

The best way is to not imporove your gear past Legendary, in the first place. Besides the armor capo is 567 and can be reached fairly easy in Daedric. Anything beyond that does nothing.

Pending your Heavy Armor skill and perk selection, you could most likely hit it without improving it much at all.

What about for weapons?
