Honed Ancient Nord Sword cannot be upgraded to Legendary?

Post » Tue May 29, 2012 7:47 pm

Hi,

do you have any idea why I can't upgrade my Honed Ancient Nord Sword (Flawless) to Epic or Legendary though I have smithing leveled to 100 and own the stell perk? Other steel swords can be upgraded to Legendary without any problem, however the Honed Ancient Nord Sword says I'm missing the talent to further upgrade it!

But how can I miss the talend when already being at 100 with the steel perk!

Any ideas?

/edit: It can be upgraded at least to Epic when drinking a smithing essence that booths smithing 40%. However, I thought with smithing at 100 and the steel perk I should be able to increase all steel itmes to Legendary? The "normal" ancient Nord sword can be upgraded to Legendary btw!

Thanks
Michael

Certain items cannot be upgraded to higher levels. These include unique weapons and armors and weapons/armors that don't have a perk(like leather or hide) or if they don't have the smithing material in their name(ie, you can't upgrade your honed ancient nord sword to legendary with steel, but you can upgrade your steel sword to legendary with steel)

Thanks. Upgrading the sword in general works, however I guess as it looks like it doesn't have something to do with the steel perk. I just need a higher skill to further upgrade it!
