==Exploit (major) involving all crafts==
(Citing this exploit under crafting due to its nature of manipulating all crafts and if used will generally involve more than a single skill. [Alchemy, Smithing, Enchanting). Has been known to work on all platforms, can confirm on PS3.
"[Through the use of a Fortify Restoration potion(s) a player can increase the enchantment(s) on any given apparel by the percentage of the potion in question.]" Will not be citing all of the details as it has been thoroughly explained in the links below. A brief explanation is that through this exploit a player can break the assumed caps of smithing/enchanting/alchemy fortification on apparel and make enchantments and weapons well beyond what is needed. This has been extensively tested. Examples: Ebony Bow with a BASE damage of 25791 with no enchantments, Blades Sword with a BASE damage of 28901846, Blades Gauntlets - Armor rating of 797 with enchantments of one handed damage +2663% and bow damage +2663%, Ebony Mail - Armor rating of 194143 with no change to stock enchantments. This is not close to cap, these are statistics done in less than 5 minutes with 100 alchemy, 100 smithing, 100 enchanting with all relevant perks.
Link providing detailed information and video below.
*Note: The main non-game breaking use for this is to make magic cost nothing, a ring with 100% reduced Destruction cost and 100% conjuration reduction is a handy thing to have.
*Note: have noticed the game crashing more than recently (PS3)
*Note: this process being highly unnecessary as a base damage of 900 or more on any weapon can one shot most anything besides some bosses and dragons on master difficulty.
*This process may be used to obtain a one hand damage + fortification on a necklace or ring only to obtain a 200–500 damage rating while using the Ebony Blade or Nightingale Blade (unable to improve at grindstone) and weapons of the same sort.
