Just wondering if it is still possible to do the restoration glitch as of patch 1.3. I'm hoping so I can make a bow that one hits everything, and I'll go around trying to headshot bandits. On a console there's not really any other way of doing this without forcing all my perks into archery and using ebony arrows (that I've only ever found 2 of)

yes it can still be done. You need to re-equip your gear after popping the potion or the new stronger effects don't apply properly.


In before people [censored]ing about exploitting

Thanks for confirming. As I said I only want a powerful bow capable of oneshotting, as I plan to try and pull off head/heart shots on an entire dungeon, and it only makes sence they die straight away also it would be good to test how far enchants could help (Like to see if enchanting sneak by 10,000 actually makes a difference from 100 sneak)

(and in my opinion, I'm suprised how all those crying over exploits aren't also crying over PC console commands, as that can be used to exploit further! but not to detract...)

Technically, it's not really a glitch. Perhaps an unforeseen consequence.

I need to google this. Just to get H2H a bit more viable and all.

What is this restoration glitch?

you enchant a ring, necklace, circlet, gloves & falmer helmet with fortify alchemy then create a fortify restoration potion, drink potion (notice your alchemy enchantmets will become stronger) then create a new (stronger) fortify restoration potion, then (important) UNequip alchemy enchantmets EXIT menu re-enter inventory and equip alchemy enchantmets & drink that new potion, then repeat: create new potion, unequip gear & exit menu, re-equip gear drink potion, make new (even stronger) potion repeat......

Fortify Restoration boosts enchantments on gear, so you can make a fortify restoration potion to boost your fortify alchemy gear to make a better fortify restoration potion etc. End result if you stop before it loops back into negative numbers, very high fortify enchantment potions which means very high fortify smithing gear, upgrade a weapon with +2000% fortify smithing and you can do 10 000 damage with a single hit easy.

...crazy.

Ah, shades of Morrowind. Thanks!
