So I played for 3 days on my room mates xbox, and got a character to about 20. Then, I bought my own copy for PC. On my xbox charactetr, I disenchanted a item to get an enchant to fortify sneak. On my PC character (which now has higher enchanting), I can't disenchant any of the items ive found with fortify sneak on them. Its getting frustrating. Is it a bug on PC, or did my roommate not have an update on his xbox that changed it?

Summary: I can't disenchant an item with fortify sneak. The item doesn't even show up in the disenchant screen. Before I could, now I can't. Why?

I found a pair of boots with +15% to Sneak on PC.
I haven't tried disenchanting it though.
Edit:
No, I can't disenchant it either.

O.O That really svcks. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to be able to disenchant random loot with the fortify ability. Though, I have noticed that there are some items that are not meant to be disenchanted, such as the amulets of the 8+1 divines and spiked shields. I assume this may also be true or some of the unique armors that you might gain through questlines.

Are you trying to disenchant the same type of item?

I have several items with sneak on them, that's not the issue. Problem is that I can't disenchant any of them. And on Xbox, I could.

Maybe you already have the enchantment without you noticing it? Other than that, can't say for sure what the problem is without some screenshots.

'Boots of the gods' = +20% Sneak

The full armor set it's part of can be renamed to "Battle Bikini" on a Female character.

there is. end discussion

Cause your helpful. I know its possible. But my game refuses to allow me to. What I was hoping for was for someone to say it was a bug and that they knew a fix. Basically, something useful. Meaning the opposite of what you gave.

I've noticed that I do not seem to be allowed to disenchant either amulets or unique items.

I've got 2 pairs of boots and a chest piece, all 3 with +sneak on them. None of which are unique. I have some unique items too, from the dark brotherhood, but I just assumed that those wouldn't work. I'll throw up some screen shots, like someone suggested, tomorrow.

I'm seeing similar issues. Can't disenchant unique items, but have also found some 'non-unique' stuff with sneak-related buffs and can't disenchant those either. I'm running on a pc. It svcks, as I have a thief/mage and am trying to get rid of all my armour, but can't disenchant, and therefor enchant, shoes and gloves with many of the thief bonuses.
