How did i upgrade a Woodcutter's Axe?

[u2020bullet]

So i'm continuing with my old survival mode save, i'm going through all the armors, upgrading them to the max and using them for a while to see how each feels. Along the way i seem to have run out of set-specific weapons so i figured i'll just upgrade and enchant a regular axe and go Abe Lincoln on everything. Nope, not doable apparently, yet somehow i have my old axe in my inventory that has been upgraded up to "Exquisite" and enchanted with Soul Trap.

How the heck did i upgrade it before when it's apparently impossible? And no, i haven't used any smithing mods whatsoever, matter of fact i'm running the same exact setup i did before.

You enchanted it before you upgraded it and do not have the perk to upgrade enchaned items

Your old axe you upgraded it before you enchanted it

Nope, i have Arcane smithing. So with my enchant perks i should be able to further upgrade it using smithing and add another enchantment, but it's not showing up on the grinding wheel. Need to see if i can find a blank one in whiterun to try doing it again.

Is that where Skyrim players are these days? They just use the HEAVY and low damage woodcutters ax for the lulz?

Then I have no idea I always upgrade my axe in game and have had no problem

Currently i'm just messing around, but i figured i'd try it for the lulz, that's probably why i originally enchanted it so i can soul trap firewood!

Yeah, gonna have to look into that further, just gotta find a fresh axe. Here's hoping Belethor is taking a break from selling his relatives.

you can always mod regular weapon axes so they can cut logs. Also it allows you to manually cut logs like ore veins.

Just an idea. I guess you could roleplay winter huntsmen types that limit you to low grade bows and woodcutters axe or something.

im on the meta of binding axe to 1, shield to 2, heal to 3, target spell to 4, ward to 5, dragonhide to 6 (speeding up the master casts is never a bad idea) 7 to runes, kek. 8 to invis or backup utility.


this game is beyond borked when you alternate one handed shield with spellswordery.

shame the game has lengthy draw animations for EVERY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ POSSIBLE THING

play on x4 damage on legendary, the game is not a paddle waving contest and isnt boring.

sucks to get 1 tapped by ice storm even at level 72...


b0rked mage damage.

[Metadragon]

yeah no. All increasing difficulty does is turn it into a whiffle bat competition

Found a fresh axe, still can't upgrade it. Still can't figure out how i upgraded the old one.

[u2020bullet]

Figured it out, the Unofficial patch adds the ability to upgrade axes and pickaxes.

Well that explains it then, I got the patch

[Void#151625]

1 if a weapon does not have a temper template it will not show up
also if some condition are set that will hide that template then it also will not show up.

and ps mods can break gamplay if installed wrong or if you did not follow modding rules.
