Training Enchanting

Post » Fri Jun 01, 2012 4:50 am

Ive heard you can do it super fast if you make enchanted equipment to help you or something. Is there a "fortify enchantment" enchantment? If so, where might I learn it?

Actually I have 100 enchanting and the only thing I did to get it up was keeping all my loot (like fur and hide armors, and any weapons, and anything else of worth above 50g with reasonable weight) and then I go to all keep mages and general stores and keep buying any and all soul gems that have a soul in them. Then I just use a bench and enchant everything then sell it all.

But when I do this I'm also using the Lover Stone for 15% faster increase in all skills. Which helps alot, or if you just want to work on enchanting or magic use the mage stone.

In the end you'll actually be making a pretty good profit. (Just don't buy things from the blacksmith, sell only).

Fortify Enchantment enchantment is only available on leg slot items.

There is no "Fortify Enchanting" enchantment. There are "Fortify Enchanting" potions, which you can buy or mix from the following ingredients:

Blue Butterfly Wing
Hagraven Claws
Snowberries
Spriggan Sap

These will increase the strength of any enchantments, but I do not know what that does to help the speed of leveling the skill.

If you want speed, be absolutely sure to nap in an owned bed for an hour to get the 8-hour Well Rested bonus that makes all skills improve 10% faster. You can also run back to the Mage Stone just outside Helgen for an additional 20% speed boost to enchanting. If you're not working on your general mage skills, just fast travel and swap it out for something useful when you're not doing a pile of enchanting.

OP, the best way to train enchanting is just to recharge any magical items you or your followers use. (I have The Lovers' stone activated, too.)

tnu, just sell anything and everything you can find. (Again, with The Lovers' stone activated.)

Recharging your weapons works too.

As for Speech.... your best bet is to exhaust all possible speech checks (bribe, intimidate, persuade etc) whenever they come up, starting with the ones you know will fail and working your way up until you finally succeed. Buying and selling stuff works too.

Sometimes the "learn by doing" approach is a real pain in the ass.

You learn it by disenchanting an item with the fortify enchantment item which you have to buy or find yourself.

There is no "fortify enchantment" enchantment - if there were, you'd be able to create infinitely powerful enchanting gear by enchanting +enchanting stuff, putting it on and enchanting more powerful +enchanting gear, indefinitely. As it is you can do the same thing, though with a few more steps, by enchanting +alchemy gear, crafting a +enchanting potion, enchanting new +alchemy gear, new potion, etc. This is generally gamebreaking (even with one cycle of this you can enchant +combat damage gear that will make you monstrously overpowered, up around twice the damage increase you could get from combat skill perks.)

*edit - Woops, just reread your quote, you were talking about fortify enchantments in general, not fortify enchantment enchantments. My bad.

I'm more interested in how you can avoid it! Every couple times my character sells anything it seems I get another point in it, and I'm not happy with how quickly she's leveling up (even with some slow down mod!).

You should probably avoid selling so many things. You rack up money pretty quickly once your reach the 30-level mark, anyway. Just scrimp and scraqe until then.

Also, make sure you are NOT using The Lovers' stone.

Make Iron Daggers via smithing
Enchant Iron Daggers with Banish using petty, lesser or common gems.
Sell for profit

You can buy all the materials and make tons of money while leveling your smithing, enchanting and speech. You could go from 15 to 100 in about 30 minutes if you already have all the materials, it'll take longer if you have to fast travel around to buy them.

No you are right. I was thinking of the fortify alchemy items when I said that. :facepalm: :lol:

You use them to make the fortify enchanting potions is what I was meant to say.

If there were a Fortify Enchanting enchantment, it would create an infinite loop of unbound potency.

Here's how:
1: Enchant an item with Fortify Enchanting
2: Equip the Fortify Enchanting apparel
3: Return to step 1

You would end up not even needing to level enchanting at all because you could simply make an item that fortifies enchanting so much that theoretically limitless values are attainable.

Edit: Didn't notice this was already mentioned. My bad.
