I had a character that took smithing and enchanting very seriously, so I enchanted a Blacksmith Apron, standard pair of gloves, ring, and necklace to help boost anything I would improve. I would remake the outfit from time to time as my skill kept improving so that the boost would keep increasing. The materials were always either cheap or free and I'm glad I took the two minutes to do it every now and again. The entire outfit I just named "Smithy's Secret." Wearing it while smithing resulted in some pretty bad ass weaponry, armor, etc., especially once I hit 100 on smithing and enchanting.
Because I have a fondness for dual-wielding daggers in general, I'd usually enchant a set of two for myself (each had a unique enchantment until I got to the "extra effect" perk, then I would make new ones so that they each possessed both enchantments).
In any case from an RP perspective, the "set" that I'm most proud of is:
Wrath of the Dov
(2) Legendary dragon bone daggers, each dagger had 69 dmg, enchanted with fire and absorb health (don't remember how many points of either).
I chose these enchantments to sort of emulate an actual dragon... so made of dragon bone, (breathes) fire, and absorb health (consuming prey).
And I also made a greatsword which I gave to a Nord follower (I loved making up custom weapons and armor for my followers to complement their strengths).
Battle Cry Blade
Legendary Nordic greatsword, I don't remember the exact dmg output (I gave it away after all, but I was pretty impressed with it), enchanted with frost damage and fear (living).
I chose these enchantments because I was trying to sort of emulate the racial profile of a Nord Warrior--frost resistance (in this case to the point of dealing additional damage) and fear to try and capture the "Battle Cry" ability.
I was never thrilled with the names I chose and I wish I would have put more thought into naming them... but I was usually too excited to see it in action and rushed the very last step. That was a mistake.
