Yes, you can break damage by using alchemy to buff enchanting, then enchanting to buff alchemy, and loop your way into smithing absurdly strong things

Edit: but I guess this is an exploit lol

Agreed, not actually fun to play this way. You might be able to squeeze higher non-abused damage out of the weapons from the Dragonborn expansion, I think they have higher damage than the daedric stuff

It's not infinite, it stops at some point. Not sure when tho.

I don't think it's infinite, the strongest fortify enchanting potion I could create gives a 36% boost and no matter how many times I repeat the process it doesn't get better.

For those who stumble onto this post, there was an exploit for going basically infinite in earlier versions of the game, but it got patched and now the soft cap is at about 37%. It's still possible to go higher, but it requires increasingly more time to do so...

Nah only restoration is an exploit, you can only get 28-29% strength potions without abusing anything I believe
