Step 1: Find or buy 2 pieces of equipment that has a Fortify Smithing ability.
This will be one of the most important thing you'll need in order to make strong equipment. -
Step 2: Collect all the ingredients.
Crafting armor requires ingredients; the ingredients vary depending on what armor you’ll craft.
Collect the ingredients needed for the particular armor you’ve chosen to make. , You could do with just Smithing, but a higher level Enchantment can boost the quality of the items further. , These are rings, gloves, body armor, and necklaces. , Grand Soul gems are preferred, but you can get any other type of soul gems. , You can usually find these in alchemist shops. , Disenchant one of your items with Fortify Smithing, and equip the other one.
You'll need to disenchant an item in order to gain knowledge of that enchantment; this is why you need two of each. , You can use an Enchanter's Elixir for this.
With a level 100 enchanting, plus an Enchanter's Elixir, your Smithing Enchantment will reach 28%. , Wear all of your newly enchanted armor, drink your Blacksmith's Elixir, and craft all your weapons and armor.
Blacksmith's Elixir only lasts 30 secs; the time runs even when you're crafting, so be mindful of the time limit. , Go to the Grindstone and drink another Blacksmith's elixir, then upgrade your weapon until they are Legendary.
This will boost your weapon's damage to around 50% or more. , Use the Workbench if you think you've still got time before the Blacksmith Elixir expires.
Immediately proceed to upgrading your armor to legendary, if not then take a Blacksmith's Elixir first.
Like the weapon, your armor's defense will increase dramatically once it turns legendary. , You'll probably kill almost anything in 1 hit or so.
Of course, that would make the game a tad bit boring, but it's always useful for those difficult missions.
