Perfect Shield for protection??

[americanman_4_life]

I written a few posts now, asking about different things I can build/enchant...
I been thinking of enchanting an Elvin Shield, I think. Is this the Highest Light Armor Shield?
For awhile, I been trying to find 2 spells I wanted to learn for enchanting... Reflect Magic, Reflect Damage... of course I just discovered finding info online at the Wiki/oblivion site, the two spells aforementioned can not be used for enchanting, disabled at the enchanting alter.
So anyone have ideas of improving a shield for protection.... besides adding a protection spell to it. That's a given, but I was looking for something more creative.

I considered... can I enchant Shield with Dissentigrate Weapon to effect the enemy weapon everytime they strike my shield? Any other ideas of what people have done to enhance own shild would be welcome... thanks.

The highest level shield for light Armor is Amber from Shivering Isles followed by Glass and then Elven.

No you can't enchant shield or armor with disintegrate which is only a weapon enchantment.

If you have the Shivering Isles, the Madness Shield can be enchanted with reflect damage using matrices, but other than that the only thing that adds protection is elemental shield effects using Sigil Stones obtained from Oblivion.

At level 17 you can enchant armor or a shield with 25 points of fire, frost, or shock shield. This will improve your defense and protect you from the specific elements.

Other than that the best shields are all obtained from quests or from Ring Leader leveled equipment.

The best Shields in the game are all heavy shields. Here is a list if I am remebering them all.

Heavy Shields

Escutcheon of Chorrol - reflect damage 35% at level 25.
Lord Kelvyn's Bulwark - Health 45 pts, Block 17 pts, and Endurance 10 pts.
Madness Shield - reflect damage 10%
Spell Breaker - reflect spell 30%
Valdemar's Shield - reflect damage 6%-10%

There aren't many good light armor shields.

I would say Mirror Shield is my favorite. It has reflect damage 8% reflect spell 14%.

I usually always use a heavy shield until Light Armor Skill is at 100 and then I use Mirror Shield.

In that case, maybe I'll enchant my current Elvin Shield, unless I find a glass shield, with Fortify Health and Magika, +Shield bonus...

You have to begin the main quest.

You were given the Amulet of Kings in the beginning. Take the amulet to Jauffre in Weynon Priory who will tell you that you need to go to Kvatch to find Uriel Septims Heir. Go to Kvatch and talk to Savlian Matius. Go talk to Martin in the Temple and then close the Oblivion Gate.

Once you close the gate other gates will begin to randomly appear throughout Cyrodil. You will receive a random Sigil Stone every time you close a gate. The Sigil Stones are leveled so you will receive different enchantments based on your level.

You can also enchant items using Altars of Enchanting with Soul Gems.

I'm aware of the enchancting process with the soul gems... but I wasn't aware of the Sigil Stones... I've gone as far as entering the Kvatch O.g and when I died, decided I'd come back later... I was L8 I think than, now I'm 19... just havn't had the interest in returning to that line of missions...

I might now.
What about other stones?? I came across these glowing stones in dungeons, Welkynd stones I think, maybe misspelled... and another called... Varla, which this one is 1000 gold value, but I hanging on to 2x of them, figure they have some valuable use to them. The Welkynd's are only 50 gold, but I discovered can be used to charge 100% magika no matter how empty I am, they're only 50 gold value.
Just carious about the Varla Stone and if they'r any other fancy stones I can find around Cyrodiil?

[__-__-__]

Varla stones restore enchantment charges on weapons that already have enchantments.

[__-__-__]

Welkynd Stones restore Magicka, and can be found in elven ruins.

[americanman_4_life]

So how much do Varla's fill? how much of a charge? And where do I find those?

[__-__-__]

All of it for all enchanted weapons, though you can only use one once and they are fairly rare, they are best used when you have multiple enchantments that need refilling on multiple items, they are in elven ruins too.

[americanman_4_life]

SWEAT NINES.....
One stone will recharge everything enchanted you have at once??

[__-__-__]

Yes, but there is only one use in each stone. And not all elven ruins have them, and I don't think they get replaced once removed and used (meaning a limited number), not sure though.

Is that an Elvin Ruin on picture? I marked it with arrow, it name is Rielle. So anything on map with that Icon is an Elvin Ruin? I understand not all may have that stone, I just wanna make sure I am considering the right Icon.

[__-__-__]

Yes, all ruins with that icon are elven ruins, you can find Varla and Welkynd stones in them, Welkynd stones are more common.

I always just abused range and enchanted the everloving ♥♥♥♥ out of my armor/clothing of choice with shield enchantment, and then a few rings with different resistances, and a amulet/necklace with night eye lol.

[americanman_4_life]

Exploring the idea that I wanted to Fortify Health/Magika on Shield, I looked into it, with a Grand stone, only adds +10 bonus.... WHAT????
I expected more. How can I increase the effect of enchantments? Does it come with a level of a skill?
Also only allows one bonus, not two. I have weapons with multi bonuses, but objects only limited to one... is this always so??
