Do Enchantments Stack?

[Gargamel]

I just mastered Enchanting...

So I am curious if enchantments stack.

Example:

Ring with +36% to bows and 1-handed weapons.

Necklace with same enchantment.

Would I get 72% increase to 1-handed and bows? And do they apply bound weapons as well?

Also, is it the same for armor pieces, say I fortify light armor on every piece, or sneak, etc..., would they all stack?

Thaks in advance.

Yes they stack.

Now here's a real question:

Do they stack or do they multiply? IE:
100 + 36% = 136 + 36% = 184.96
OR:
100 + (36% + 36%) = 172

So does it calculate them one by one onto the running total or does it add up all the enchantment values and then calculate them?

For the most part, they add together. Certainly this is true for all enchants you create yourself.

There are rare exceptions. For example, the Ring of the Erudite multiplies its mana regen effect with your regular enchants. You can't disenchant that particular ring, of course.

Also sorta worth noting that some effects have overall caps. Most notably (and the only ones which currently come to mind) are resistances, which max at 85% each. Magic resist multiplies with elemental resists, though, and all elemental effects in the game are considered "magical", so the effective cap there is 97.75%.

They stack but weapon damage enchantments seem to have an overflow issue if stacked too high (yes four pieces of +83% bow damage does less than just one).
