Skyrim Armour rating
I'm level 42 and I have a full set of dragon bone armor. Is there a way to increase the armor rating? I'm stuck on I think 80 for my chestplate.
Do you have to also increase the heavy/light armor skill to make it better, not just smithing? If you do have to increase the heavy/light armor skill, will it affect the armor that I have equipped or will I have to make another set for it to affect the armor rating?
