Been doing some testing like the sad twat I am but I can't quite work out the "maximum stats" for weapons and armour because it's technically viable to get 100 alchemy, 100 enchanting, 100 smithing then creating a 4 set of +25% alchemy equipment, going to alchemy and creating enchanting increase potions, and repeat with a 4 set of +something alchemy.
Does anyone know what the hardcap for this is because it's bugging me since I have low alchemy because I didn't realise (until I found an enchanting increase potion) that it was viable to do that. Surely equipment can have a maximum set of stats but my google skills are failing me.
Anyone been as bad as me and actually thought about it?
EDIT: Google has worked:
http://www.gamefront.com/skyrim-best-possible-equipment-guide/It appears that you can't get beyond a 29% increase so that would therefore be the hard cap.
Also, one of the comments I notice said try and obtain a falmar helmet because apparently it can be worn with a circlet which would allow you double the head enchantment for an increase in alchemy by 58% instead of 29%.
Not sure if anyone really wanted to know this but most people will know i'm a twat for working out "how to be the best minus personal skill".
