After updated at beta 1.5 my Skyrim, I verified all the features that were changed and I noticed that the value for creating a new item at the forge and successively the value for upgrading an armor or weapon are just to high.
Starting a new game I reach Riverwood, and there I helped Alvor a t the forge and for the only creation of a single dagger my smithing ability pumped up from 15 of default to 39... Thing goes similarly when sharpening at the grindstone...
Best Regards
