Enchanting getting weaker

Post » Sun May 27, 2012 3:31 am

Well I was messing around earlier today, crafting an unenchanted set of Thieves Guild armor via mods, and then went to enchant it. I had upgraded it with enchanted smithing gear, as its armor value was really low, and while I was able to apply my first set of enchants to a piece at the correct values, any subsequent enchants were far, far below what my skill should dictate. Ie. my normal light armor enchant gives 28 bonus skill, but now it was only giving 9. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so is there a solution?

The best possible value is displayed for the best possible soul gem with the strongest soul. Weaker souls lead to weaker values and stronger souls lead to meatier values.

Something similair happened to me today. I had my enchantment on certain things like Bows do 37% extra damage, and since I purchased my 5/5 on Enchantment perks the same enchantment (no changes to my setup) it now is only doing 28% extra damage. WHats up with that, it should get higher the more perks I do not less.

I'm betting this too. I only just noticed a few days ago that most of my grand soul gems had hoovered up petty souls. =/

Actually 1.3 is ok for me so far, in this case it was the above mentioned solution. I didnt realise Id suddenly run out Black Soul Gems :) All is fine now, my enchantment is now 100 and have my smithing skills maxed and my wearable smithing attachemnts are all at 28%, I doubt theyll get any higher now as I know of nothing else to drink or wear or cast to improve overall enchanting and smithing.

But Im happy with my setup now.

  • ALL DAEDRIC.............(ARM/DAM)..............(ENCHANTMENTS)
  • Armour.............................243......................Health 70 - Stamina 70
  • Boots...............................107......................Stamina 70 - Muffled
  • Gauntlets.........................107......................Bows 45% - Incr Magicka 70
  • Helmet.............................118......................Bows 45% - Magicka 70
  • Shield...............................92.......................Health 70 - Magic Resistance 22%
  • Bow.................................317......................Burn for 35 - Soul svck
  • Sword...............................59.......................Burn for 35 - Soul svck
