Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.
Upgrades
A Dawnguard Shield is improved at a workbench with one Steel Ingot per improvement. The Advanced Armors perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.
