I would posit that improving an Exquisite Imperial Light Armor to Elven stats through the above recipe should give you a piece of armor that looks like Imperial Light Armor, but has the base stats of Elven Armor.

It already has a context driven menu that only displays upgrade recipes for items already in your inventory. It might be better to make this upgrade technique work through the work bench rather than the forge. Given the number of recipes/combinations this would add, it could create a very crowded crafting menu. What if I could take these same ingredients and combine them with my Imperial Light Armor to get a piece of armor that looks like Imperial Light Amor but has the stats of Elven Armor? Normally, it takes the follow ingredients to craft Elven Armor: What about if, at the point where it becomes possible to craft Elven Armor, I was also able to upgrade the Imperial Legion armor so it has the stats of Elven Amor? It doesn’t take long to outgrow that armor type. The problem is the stats for the Imperial Light Armor sit ever so slightly below Leather Armor. I’m a die-hard Imperial, and I love the Roman Legionnaire overtones.

Let’s say I really like the Imperial Light Armor.

I would like to be able to convert armors from one type to another through the crafting system. What do you do when a type of armor with higher stats, but looks shitty (in your own estimation), becomes available? You get an armor that you really like the look of, or maybe you’re just really attached to the enchantments that come on a unique armor set. Upgrade armor type/stats without changing how it looks.
