How is Enchanting XP calculated?

[JohnJSal]

From what I've read, Smithing and Alchemy are the same: the XP is based on the gold value of the item created.

But I've read a couple of conflicting things about Enchanting. One source said the XP is a flat amount per item, another said XP is based on the power of the enchantment. Neither source mentioned the gold value of the item, but I suppose that's a possibility as well.

Can anyone confirm how XP is calculated for Enchanting?

Thanks!

it goes by both the enchantment that is used and flat amount per item they are both right

disenchanting gives xp too

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Enchanting#Gaining_Skill_XP

I checked there, but all it says is:

You gain 1 base XP for each enchantment

which I didn't find very informative.

it's says more than that. disenchanting, enchanting and how much they are worth ( the value)

[JohnJSal]

The full bullet point reads as follows:

Unlike Alchemy and Smithing, enchanting skill increases are unaffected by item value, enchantment used, or soul level of the soul gem used. You gain 1 base XP for each enchantment, which is only affected by other XP enhancers mentioned below.

The rest only talks about how to increase your XP, such as with the Warrior Stone.

However, given the claim that Enchanting is unaffected by "enchantment used," this seems to contradict what I'm hearing elsewhere. You can understand my confusion, I hope.

I'm not even sure if the wiki is up-to-date any longer. I figured asking a fresh question would give me a better answer.

The game was last updated 21 Nov 2011. The page's last update was back in June. Seems like it's pretty much up to date to me.

I'm pretty sure its mostly the value of the enchantment.

It would explain why Banish enchantment in addition to pretty much breaking the game's economy (1-2k gold worth iron daggers) is also super fast and efficient method for leveling Enchanting.

Enchanting seems to be calculated:
-Disenchanting items (some give more than others)
-Using soul gems to recharge weapons (the higher the soul gem the more exp it gives
-Enchanting an item (doesn't seem to be any difference in what item, what enchantment and what soul gem)

For smithing, what determines how much exp it gives, is not the value of the item created:
-The value of the items used in the crafting recipe
-The value of the upgrade material used on the workbench or grindstone.

Just to be sure, for Alchemy:
-Eating ingredients (i never do that, that is so i can see what ingredients i use for my potions just by checking an effect pop up in the ingredients list from the ingredients i have used)
-The value of the potion created, using alchemy gear increases the value and so gives more exp.

Are you sure? Every resource I've found says it is the value of the item created.

I am 100% sure enchanent type matters when enchanting as i said Banish gives a lot more xp than any other weapon enchanemt even with petty soul gem. And it has very high base value compared to other enchantments. Paralyze is close second.

[Alucard †]

PS: Value of enchantment seems to be calculated from their charge drain rate.

Is the turn undead effect the same, or is banish different?

I said enchanting and the soul gems are a part of the enchanting part so I pretty much said every thing that is in that sentence

Banish is different than Turm undead. It basically one shot kills daedras (despawns them)
