Spoiler
This exploit was discovered by Guillermo55.
Original topic http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/615803-the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim/61142033

This exploit allows you to wear multiple gear for the same slot. Such as wearing a Daedric Helmet and a Dragonplate Helmet at the same time. You can even equip as many as you want.

This glitch can be used to apply lots of enchantments to your character through wearing lots of gear or reaching the armour rating cap with little Heavy/Light Armour skills or perks or with lower tier armour. You could, for example, have enough enchantments to reduce the Magicka costs of all schools of magic to 0%, have massive amounts of health/stamina/magicka and incredibly fast regeneration, high magic resistance and insanely high fortified skills.
It may even be possible to stack lots of Gauntlets to reach massive hand to hand damage while using the Fists of Steel perk (As of yet is untested).

Before doing anything back up your game save. This is exploiting a glitch and could possibly end up having some unintended consequences.

This does not work with stacked items. For example, if you have Amulet of Talos (5) you will only be able to equip one of them. You can do it with two items that are practically the same though but have different names. As long as the items aren't stacked it should work.

1. To start off you need to prepare your gear that you want to equip. You can do it with Armour, Gauntlets, Boots, Helmets, Rings and Necklaces. Now equip one of each and store the rest for easy access.

2. Now you need to commit a crime and get arrested. For this guide I will be doing it in Whiterun. Prefferably commit a very minor crime such as stealing a very low value item. When you get arrested select the option to go to jail.

3. Now that you are in jail you need to escape. In the Whiterun jail there is a grate in the floor that is locked with a Novice lock. Pick it and make your escape. Ignore the evidence chest on your way out. You should come out at a small guard barracks. This is good place to store your gear before you start.

4. Now grab and equip one item from each slot again. After you've done that get arrested again, if you stored your gear in the barracks then there is usually a guard in there, either let him catch you or initiate conversation with him and select the option to go to jail.

If you have more gear you want to add repeat steps 3-4 until you have done them all.

5. At this point you should be in your jail cell again. To finish up you need to serve your jail sentence by sleeping in the bed. Doing this will lose some progress on some skills, if you had only a small bounty it won't affect you too much.

After you are released from jail, check your inventory and you should have all the gear you equipped during the process equipped all at the same time.

I saw this, and wonder how well it synergizes with the enchanting-alchemy loop?
I am thinking about using the new glitch to ease the pain of levelling enchantment and alchemy, but don't have the chance to test it out.
Lastest update are that this exploit doesn't work on similiar items(silver rings) even if they are named differently or have different enchantment. I guess they needs to have different base item id.

Agreed. Seems more trouble than it's worth.

Why? I think it's much easier than power-levelling alchemy or enchantment...
Or maybe you don't care about minmaxing...

Wouldn't this make the game to easy and boring?

Well I mean imagine using this as well as the alchemy/enchanted/something idea could lead to some awesome strength weapons

Why even do this? The game is not THAT hard.

This just seems silly. This is an obvious bug, so it is not "min/maxing"; it is cheating.

Yes.

One of the reasons a quit Oblivion was because I made my character a god by doing the ring glitch, I'm not doing any exploits in Skyrim, I learned my lesson.

Neat trick, but still... Elder Scrolls games don't strike me as the type of game where "I need the best armour, best enchantments, best EVERYTHING". I wear what looks best.. Anyone else agree?

Typically yes unless I know I am going on a killing spree, lol then a reload.

Minmaxing and bug exploits are different.

The former is finding the combination of selections that lets you achieve the maximum amount of power legally as developers designed it.

The later is abusing a game engine weakness or loophole for power and is clearly not an intended design feature.

Clear difference between min-maxing and bug-exploiting.
As much as I hate it smith/alchemy/enchanting synergy is min-maxing to an extreme degree but its still in game material
This is outright bug glitching and abuse.

While I agree this is a rather ridiculous exploit (most are,) I feel it has utility in one area. it was always a pet peeve of mine in OB that you could only wear two rings. Imagine my consternation when I found Skyrim only allows one!

One of the first Mods I got in OB and one of the first I'll get now is one to allow multiple rings. There is simply no reason not to allow one or two rings on every finger (and thumb.)

(It's tough being a pimp.)

Multiple rings is a balance issue. (and to avoid the resurgence of The Mandarin)

There is no issue of balance when the Mage is nerfed as it stands <_<
Besides: My game, My rules :thumbsup:
