I'm trying to get my Nightingale armor plus a few other things to "Legendary" Status since theyre currently at Epic. At one point I tried using a ring with improvement 22%, a pair of gloves with 20%, and a blacksmith potion for 20%. Ive read that you can basically get any item to Legendary if you wear enough equipment with high enough boosts.

My question is... how much more do I need!? Ive already got 62% improvement PLUS my 100 smithing skill and that wasnt enough.

And no, I dont have the ebony smithing perk that allows you to easily get the armor to Legendary, Ive read that you can do it regardless.

If anyone has the answer i'd appreciate it. Thanks

anyone?

Depends what you smithing skill is at right now.

Shouldnt be too much higher, I used a +40% potion and a ring to get my nitinggale to legendary. I can't give you specifics though I'm sorry.

Do you have the perk for ebony smithing or not?

Yea I have all the perks in smithing excluding light armor side, as its pointless to put points into.

if you have high alchemy, you can create a Smithing potion that goes well beyond 60% (lol can't find spoiler button to give recipe)

My alchemy suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks >.<..... It's so hard to train

You need to have effectively 196 Smithing (without perks) to craft legendary. Sooooooo 96% boost from enchants/potions

Yikes. Thanks though, ill work on that o.o
