Maxing out gear with maxed out smithing, enchanting and alchemy
With 4 pieces of +28% fortify alchemy gear, I was able to create a +32% fortify enchantment potion. I was then able to use that potion to create 4 pieces of +29% fortify alchemy gear. However, using the new gear, I was still only to create another +32% fortify enchantment potion.
At first, I thought that it was just rounding down to the nearest whole number for display purposes and that it was actually 32.xx% behind the scenes. However, I don't think this is the case. Usually, when items are distinctly different in any way, they group separately in the inventory screen, but the +32% potion I created with the +29% alchemy gear groups in with the other fortify enchantment potions that I previously created with the +28% gear, so I am assuming there's no change.
I hear there's a fortify restoration exploit, but I don't want to use that. Basically, I just want to know if +32% is the most I am going to get from a fortify enchantment potion.

The game has a built-in max to prevent infinitely high bonuses to equipment.
