Skyrim: Smithing Gear?
So I need an item with 'fortify smithing' to disenchant if my orc's armor is ever going to be as badass as it could be, but I missed my opportunity to get the 'silverblood ring', as the dumbass who gives it kept attacking me on sight upon completion of the quest, so I had to take the other route. The Silverblood ring is the only 'sure thing' I'm aware of where smithing gear is concerned, except the Ironhand gauntlets, which are a quest item and cant be broken down. This means my only option is a random drop, and after 51 levels and not a -single- random drop smithing item, I'm having doubts they'll even appear in my current play-through.
My Question: is anyone aware of a shop or vendor that has a good chance of generating random smithing gear for sale, or know how I could get my hands on some another way?
A long shot, I know. 10 points for the first useful answer.
To Dragon32, what you're describing are random drops... I.E enchanted items found in chests or on corpses that aren't guaranteed to be there. The contents of chests, except for very specific chests, are randomly selected and influenced by your level upon opening, and the 'imminent smithing' items are the sort of random drop that simply aren't appearing in my current playthrough. It seems almost like not every random drop enchant exists in every playthrough, as enchants I found in abundance with my mage character are non-existent as random drops in my current game. That's why I'm hoping someone has a more solid method of forcing their appearance on the xbox version.
The blacksmith at Windhelm has a fairly decent chance of producing Smithing enchanted items, much higher than the other shopkeeps it seems. Answered my own question, but in case anyone goes looking for the same answer, here it be.

Well, I can't offer specifics, but you will find them during quests. I actually found 2, a ring and a necklace. I destroyed the necklace and made a piece of each equipment (ring, necklace, armor, etc) that I could put it on, then remade all my stuff. I kept it afterwards, too. Just in case.
I am unsure what quest it was (it was literally about 50 hours ago), but rest assured, they are out there. You won't find them in random drops, though. My ring came off a "boss" fight (in one of the crypts, I believe) and the necklace was in an ornate chest.
I believe it was called the Amulet of Imminent Smithing or something of that nature, and was actually only a 15% improvement or something like that. When I destroyed it and went to use it, my enchantment was high enough to put 25% on each piece. I think the only thing you can't put it on is boots and helmet.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but there are other smithing enhancement items out there. I never even found the Silverblood ring (or if I did, I sold it without realizing what it would do), so I know for a fact that is not the only shot at finding something.
