i guess im glad it was one of the things i wanted to work on immediately, arching and one handed skill. the smithing part was easy for me, but when i started to learn about enchanting i was a bit too late in it.
nonetheless, my arching became better whenever i use my purchased soul snatching dwarven bow ( i like it because its lighter, yet comes out with almost equal damage to the ebony), and love how a ring, a circlet, hand band thingies, can improve your arching skills.
i have to start working on the main cast, im burning out a bit...
