Tempering enchanted items

[TombRaiser]

Is it possible to do this with a skill? If so, which skill tree is it tied to? I looked through each skill tree and none of the wording gives me the impression I'd be able to temper/upgrade an already enchanted weapon or armor.

It's in the Philantropy skill tree, like the 3rd or 4th form the bottom.

find the perk arcane smith. then you can temper em. take note tempering is hugely reduced in enderal compared to skyrim. you need atleast 50 handicrafting before you can see a difference that is worth the materials. the bonus raises at 100 again. there is some unique items which can give small amounts of % smithing bonus (no potions) if you stack ALL of these together (must find some of em first they are found in fixed places like star peoples helmet of the mastersmith) you can reach legendary condition in enderal aswell.

Thanks for the info. I don't know how I missed that. I think I'm already at 25 Handicraft, I was raising that a lot thinking that was the skill I needed to raise in order to do tempering enchanted items. It's been a while since I've played Skyrim, too, so I couldn't remember if it was tied to Enchanting or Smithing.

You sure about that? I stacked all of the smithing boosts I could find and it was just barely enough to reach flawless. In Enderal legendary requires an effective handicraft skill of 164.
Even combining all of the smithing boosts in the game you don't come close to that.

with the % bonuses you can make it.

flawless is easy. 100 handicraft + skragg setpieces is already enough to reach that. there is only 4 tiers in enderal.

there is 9 total items that boost smithing in enderal. 2 are setpieces which share the same slot thus theyll cancel each other out. both are gloves. 1 is a race bonus.

then there is the starpeople helmet of the master smith.
there is a ring with 15%. there is a amulet and so on.

gotta find em all to manage that tough.

normally you would need 164 handicraft which is impossible as there is very few boosts to handicraft directly.

not sure if there is chestpiece.

i think there is packback aswell which boosts it.

it should barely work out with the % bonuses.

Ah, looks like I missed a couple, Will I run into the helm and ring through quests? I've spent too much time already randomly scouring the map. Took me about 12 hours of searching to find the bone bow, I was not expecting it to be a mob drop .

alot of unique stuff is mob drop. and that is a named mob btw. its a boss. not a regular enemy. any enemy with a name can carry unique stuff. always loot boss tier enemies. otherwise you will miss out on stuff.alot of highend stuff is found or mob drop in enderal. keep in mind the world is fixed. not leveled ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ random loot like bethetic loves it so much.

you can run into the helm during a quest yes. but its not a direct reward of it.

this helmet is not unique. i know 2 places where its found. 1 is significantly harder to access than the other ^^
