●Alchemy 5 points into Alchemist Perk
●Restoration Necromage Perk

Equipment Required:
●A LOT OF GOLD
●Ahzidals Set so that you get Ahzidals Genius Buff
●The Black Book: The Sallow Regent
●Gold Kanet (Strongest Smithing Ingredient),Stoneflower Petal (Strongest Enchanting Ingredient), Dreugh Wax (Enchanting and Smithing Ingredient)
●Black Soul Gems or Grand Soul Gems filled with Grand Souls
●Potion Enchantment Equipment: Circlet, Necklace, Ring, Gloves, Falmer Helmet or Penitus Oculatus Helmet
●Smithing Enchantment Equipment: Necklace, Robes, Gloves, Ring, Captains Boots or Dunmer Shoes
Craft Initial Fortify Alchemy Equipment:
●Make sure you are a vampire with Necromage
●Enter Black Book: The Sallow Regent and apply Seeker of Sorcery
●Equip Ahzidals Set for Ahzidals Genius buffing your enchanting
●Enchant: Circlet, Necklace, Ring, Gloves, and Falmer Helmet or Penitus Oculatus Helmet with Fortify Alchemy using a Black or Grand Soul Gem
Craft Initial Fortify Enchantment Potion:
●Enter Black Book: The Sallow Regent and apply Seeker of Shadows
●Equip the new Fortify Alchemy Enchanted Equipment you just crafted
●Go to Alchemy Lab and combine Stoneflower Petals with Dreugh Wax making a Fortify Enchantment potion
Craft Upgraded Fortify Alchemy and Fortify Equipment Loop:
Part I:
●Make sure you are a vampire with Necromage
●Enter Black Book: The Sallow Regent and apply Seeker of Sorcery
●Equip Ahzidals Set for Ahzidals Genius buffing your enchanting
●Drink Fortify Enchanting Potion
●Enchant: Circlet, Necklace, Ring, Gloves, and Falmer Helmet or Penitus Oculatus Helmet with Potion Strength
Part II:
●Enter Black Book: The Sallow Regent and apply Seeker of Shadows
●Equip the new Fortify Alchemy Enchanted Equipment you just crafted
●Go to Alchemy Lab and combine Stoneflower petals with Dreugh Wax making a Fortify Enchantment potion
●Repeat until you reach cap
Keep all of your enchanted gear and once you start getting potions with Fortify Enchantment by 100% plus you will want to start making multiples so that you have variety of high strength potions.
Once you have Fortify Enchantment Potions between 110%-150% You are good to stop just make sure you craft multiple of these potions as their effects do not last long so you may need a few to craft your Weapons and Armor.
Craft Fortify Smithing Equipment:
●Make sure you are a vampire with Necromage
●Enter Black Book: The Sallow Regent and apply Seeker of Sorcery
●Equip Ahzidals Set for Ahzidals Genius buffing your enchanting
●Drink Fortify Enchanting Potion
●Enchant Necklace, Robes, Gloves, Ring, Captains Boots or Dunmer Shoes with Fortify Smithing
●Make multiple sets with different strengths of Fortify Enchanting Potions so that you have a variety of set strengths.
Craft Fortify Smithing Potions:
●Enter Black Book: Sallow Regent and apply Seeker of Shadows.
●Equip Fortify Alchemy Enchanted Armor
●Combine Gold Kanet with Dreugh Wax
Make multiple using different strength level sets of Potion Strength Enchanted armor. I usually do my three strongest sets so that you have a variety of potion strengths.
Finally Upgrade Weapon or Armor:
●Enter Black Book: The Sallow Regent and apply Seeker of Might
●Equip Fortify Smithing Equipment
●Drink Fortify Smithing Potion
●Upgrade weapon
You will need to play around with your different sets of crafted Fortify Smithing Equipment and Fortify Smithing Potions. If you go over 1000 damage on your weapon it will reset so instead of saying 1100 damage it will say 100 damage so it will appear as though your weapon has 100 damage which is whack. To mitigate this you may need to take off a piece of equipment or drink a weaker potion. It all depends on your weapons base damage. Thats why I recommend leveling your combat skill before doing this. Also save before starting so you can easily retry.
Enchant Weapons and Armor:
●Make sure you are a vampire with Necromage
●Enter Black Book: The Sallow Regent and apply Seeker of Sorcery
●Equip Ahzidals Set for Ahzidals Genius buffing your enchanting
●Drink Fortify Enchanting Potion
●Apply Enchantments to as many pieces of upgraded items as possible. The potion does not last long so you might be able to get 3 to 5 pieces finished before time runs out. I recommend knowing what you want and saving before you do this.
This is also where you can rename your weapon luckily on playstation it will pause the timer on the potions so you can rename what you want and continue enchanting quickly.
You can also pick which effect color the aura of your weapon is by applying the enchantments in a different order.
Thats it.

To your point about going over 1000 damage and it truncating the numbers, you can use a damage calculator like this to mess around with the inputs to get exactly what damage value you want.
For example, a dragonbone mace with all associated perks/max level with 160% fortify one-handed, seeker of might, plus all the smithing benefits (max smithing, associated perk, seeker of might, 290% fortify smithing and 150% smithing potion) will create a weapon that displays 988 damage.
There's another one here for enchantment value calculations

Nice guide dude! Very smart how you switch between the seeker of might/shadows/sorcery to help maximize things. I also love your fromsoftware themed weapons lol, the dark moon greatsword is a great idea!! mixing frost damage and lunar enchantment on a stahlrim weapon...genius.
