Okay so I need better Soul Gems, better gear and Level 60 Smithing. What should I do? But I'm having trouble enchanting good items.
Soul gems are sold at the college in winterhold.
I found three skill exploits that will raise the corresponding skill easily:
1. Smithing - Go to a blacksmith and buy the same amount of iron ingots and leather strips. Use a forge to make iron daggers. Go to another city and repeat. If they sell more ingots than strips, then buy all of them, as it is likely that the next blacksmith you go to will sell fewer ingots than strips.
2. Enchanting - Go to the college in winterhold, then buy common, lesser, and petty soul gems (that have a soul in them) from everyone who sells. (If you're filthy rich, then go ahead and buy greater and grand ones as well.) Then, go to other towns buying cheap, light armor or weapons. (When I say light, I mean they should weigh less than 10 points.) I believe that a day has to go by while you're out of town for the shops to restock, so if fast traveling to other towns to buy items kills a day, then go back to winterhold and buy more soul gems. When almost over-encumbered, just go enchant all those useless items you have and sell them. If you do the smithing exploit before this, then you'll have a bunch of daggers to use as enchant material. The enchant you put on the items doesn't matter; the whole point is to raise the enchant skill quickly.
3. Restoration - In alteration there's a spell called equilibrium. Equilibrium takes health and puts it into magicka. Use that while healing yourself with the best spell you have in restoration.
