Permanent -50 Luck?

[CrescentMouse]

I didn't wear the ring for Ancotar's quest and now have -50 luck. is it permanent?

[Yzal]

That's unlucky.
Nah, don't worry. You just need to pray at a chapel altar, or some restore luck spell/ potions/ scrolls.

No. Your Luck attribute is Red, right? That's Damage Attribute. it can be fixed by praying at any chapel (except Anvil, of course) or Wayshrine. Just remove any Spell Absorption enchantments you may have. This works on any Damaged attribute (commonly suffered from Spriggans or Will-o-Wisps).
Potions or custom spell can also fix but chapel/wayshrine is much easier.

Oh. Well, the chapel has a priest(ess) who will sell spells around 10am-6pm, the orc lady in Chorrol for example. If you see Restore Speed (or any other Restore <attribute>) that's the effect you need to make a custom spell to Restore Luck. You only need 5 points or so of Restore Luck and cast until problem is solved. There is a default Restore Luck spell, but Knights of the Nine expansion kills the priestess who sells it (anvil chapel) as soon as it loads. If you haven't touched that content at all, you could turn it off, buy spell, and re-enable; otherwise, if you did any of its content, leave it on or stuff breaks.

For Alchemy, you can get Restore Luck as a potion effect via Green Stain Shelf Cap + Lettuce if you have 25 Alchemy or higher. For Novice (less than 25 skill) you'll use Green Stain Shelf Cap + Dryad Saddle Polypore Cap. Dryad Saddle is obnoxious to find; Lettuce is extremely common in any farm or food merchant. Green Stain Shelf Cap is common in the area east of Leyawiin; they're green and grow on trees and stumps. The cup shaped stuff that grows on the ground is different, and is useless here. You can buy both those mushrooms pretty cheap from Alchemist merchants; any mages guild has one.
You can just eat the raw mushrooms, but its much more effective to mix them together. Mortar and Pestle is required, a Retort and Calcinator will help but aren't required.

If you have the Deluxe version, go visit Deepscorn Hollow (south of Leyawiin), then go to the indicated merchant and buy Ichor of Sithis (along with any further upgrades you wish). Return to Deepscorn Hollow, find the Shrine of Sithis in one of the areas and restore it with the Ichor, then activate the shrine to get cured.

The Shrine of Sithis is roughly equivalent to the chapel/wayshrines, but for characters with more Infamy than Fame.

Also if you have Kights of the Nine you can do the Pilgrimage of the Nine Divines. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Pilgrimage

You don't actually have to do the quest for it to work, just visit all 9 shrines. This might be the most time consuming option, though.

Have you tried this? The UESP wiki only lists all the things we've already suggested, it doesn't actually say that your luck will be restored. In fact it's using the scroll without the ring that causes the issue.

Edit: I've never tried this myself because I usually sweet talk the ring from him.

This is an issue with luck not infamy so I don't see how completing Pilgrimage is going to help and there is no mention of luck on that UESP page.

Completing enough quests to increase your fame would probably be quicker than Pilgrimage.

I know there's a lot of text on that page and it's easy to miss the information, but at the end of the Wayshrine section (just above Notes) it does state:

When you have prayed at each of the nine altars, your Infamy points will be reduced to zero

Since he completed the Thieves' Guild he'll have 29+ Infamy, to get more Fame from a single questline he'd need to complete either the Main Quest or the Arena.

Sorry, probably went a few stages backwards there. The OP said they couldn't get their luck back up on a shrine/chapel because their infamy was too high. So I suggested doing the walk of shame to get their infamy back to zero, so they could be "cured" at a chapel or shrine.
