Can I get info an what govern the quality stat for the blacksmith perk? How do I know when I overheated an item before quenching it as it lowers the base quality? (hammered one at 1450°C before quenching and I get a full point lower than what I usually produce at minimum) Outside quenching and my smithing levels, is there anything else that affects the end result quality? Is there a "sweet spot" for quenching temp? Do I have to let it cool all the way down or just give it a dozen short dips?
