I see, thanks for that. Good to know there's some good stuff out there. The best I've been able to come up with is a Steel Dagger (fine). Then again, I've only just begun to encounter Elven and Dwarven stuff.

I might as well make use of my Pickpocket tree to get more gold and treasures when I go scavenging.

Went to the mammoth grounds again and farmed one-handed instead. Too bad Whiterun keeps training more guards from their barracks. I almost assassinated them all too. Really, really wanted to make a ghost town out of that place to serve as an example of those who cross me.

PS: assassinating giants is fun. xD
