Enchanting Robes.

[Artrysa]

If i get max enchanting, a black soul gem and a elixer of enchanting are the enchants i put on robes the same as master or atleast expert robes? Because i like the look of the apprentice robes better than the expert robes. But if it's gonna make me weaker it's not worth it.

Can't find my exact question. That's why i rely on the knowledge of the Elder Scrolls nerds in this forum.

Can you actually enchant a robe though ...

If you're going to get max enchanting, it's worthwhile to also get max alchemy. Then you can use a multiple step process that, while a bit time consuming, can have very good results.

I'm assuming you'd start this process with Alchemy skill at 100 and Enchanting at 100

1. make potions of Fortify Enchanting by using any two of these:

Ancestor Moth Wing, Blue Butterfly Wing, Chaurus Hunter Antennae, Spriggan Sap, Hagraven Claw, Snowberries, Spawn Ash

2. If you don't already know the Fortify Alchemy enchant, find an item that has it and disenchant it.

3. enchant four items, one each for head, hands, necklace, ring, with Fortify Alchemy.

4 Equip the items you just enchanted and brew another Fortify Enchanting. This one will be stronger than the first. (if it's not stronger, then you're probably done with this part)

5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until the potions you make aren't getting any stronger

At this point you can make as many Fortify Enchanting potions as possible and use them when enchanting stuff and it should be as powerful as possible.

Another very useful potion to use after doing this will be Fortify Smithing with any two of:

Blisterwort, Glowing Mushroom. Sabre Cat Tooth, Spriggan Sap

Combined with Items (chest, neck, hands, ring) with the Fortify Smithing Enchant on them, will result in making some pretty good gear and, assuming you've got the right smithing perks, improving it a LOT better.

Yeah i know about this but do the top of the line enchants match up with the master robes you can buy?

I dont think you can enchant an enchanted items. Enchanting only works on unenchanted items.

Im pretty sure there's a mod for unechanted robes. Im not sure.

I havent ever enchanted robes so I couldn't say for certain but very likely they could be stronger. It's worth trying (and I'm going to get some robes and try it when I've time just to find out)

I do know that armor improved using this can easily reach the damage reduction cap of 80%

Just re-read the OP and realized there's one catch in this, you'd have to find something that looks like Apprentice robes that is not enchanted. Methinks that this could be a problem. If something already has an enchant I don't believe you can enchant it again.

and of course, disenchanting destroys the item

You may give this a try.

No you can't. Even if you have the perk that allows you to use two enchants on a single item, they both need to be done at the same time. Once an object is enchanted, you can't add anything else to it.

no master robes get you 150% regenerate magicka, with level 100 enchanting and enchanters elixer you can get an encahntment with around 75% regenerate magicka but you can also put on 2 enchantments with 100 enchantment perk

[Artrysa]

Yeah but master robes already have 2 enchants and if you put your own enchants on it it's apparently gonnabe weaker.

As it's been mentioned a few times now, you can't even enchant an item that already has an effect on it. So it's not going to be weaker, since you won't be able to replace the original enchantment anyway.

Go with 4 pieces of 25% reduction in cost, for whatever your magic specialty is, and you won't need to worry about regen. I'd suggest destruction, as that's the most commonly-spammed. Conjuration, alteration usually last long enough for you to recharge between.

Free destruction spells will save you a lot of time and hassle.
