Do Items level up with you?

The level 46+ version of Chillrend has the highest base damage of any one-handed sword in vanilla Skyrim. The heavier dragonbone sword from Dawnguard equals its base damage, while only the 60+ version of Miraak's Sword from Dragonborn surpasses it.

I got Chillrend when I was around level 25 and it did decent damage at that time but now I found that an Ebony Sword is the best I can use.

My question is, when I get to level 46 or higher, will Chillrend become stronger or did I make a mistake in taking it early?

Thanks.

Nope, but if you're on PC you can use mods to update the level of the item according to your character's level.

Take a look at this mod.

EDIT: Forgot to say this but yeah if you take it too early when you're a low level then Chillrend will stays at its low level form. Usually without mod the only way to make sure you obtain the item at its highest level form is checking out the wiki at which character level you should do a quest.

Should I wait to get Chillrend?

AzuraKnight wrote: As Sky Above said Chillrend is a leveled item, you can get it as soon as you want but it will be less powerful if you get it at level 20 than if you wait until after you reach level 46 (the sword and the enchantment). Chillrend is one of the best swords in the game but only if you wait to get it.
