Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.

An Ebony Battleaxe is made at a forge with the Ebony Smithing perk.

Material	Image	Amount
Ebony Ingot		5
Leather Strips		2

Upgrades

An Ebony Battleaxe is improved at a grindstone with one Ebony Ingot per improvement. The Ebony Smithing perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.

Quality	Smithing	With Perk	Damage
Fine	14	14	+1
Superior	31	22	+3
Exquisite	65	40	+5

Weapon Levels

Some weapons in Skyrim are Levelled. The power of a levelled weapon is based on your charcters level when you get them. Some get stronger in both physical and magical aspects, while others only improve their enchantments. These items don't get better as your character levels up.

Ebony Battleaxe has the same damage at every character level.
