Fortify restoration exploit

[76561198176526245]

Does it work or not on pc. I have just the updates from Bethesda and apocalypse mod. I'm trying to level without console comands that's all

Erm, what exactly is the exploit, just out of academic interest, not had to cheat, potions work for me.

it is fixed by the unofficial patches or USLEEP.

whether you use console commands or this exploit you must admit it is still taking advantage of the system. Commands are easier but seriously it is still an exploit.

BTW- play as you want. not my place to judge. as long as you have fun.

OK thanks, seems a bit overly complicated, easier just to have fun and carry more healing potions.

with this exploit you can create items that when sold will give you so much gold your speech can go from 15 to 100 in 1 sale or when tempering 1 item can make your smithing go from 15 to 100. you can use it very easiky for alchemy as well as a few other skills.

the big thing is tempering an item to give you hundreds if not thousands of damage on your weapon. yes it is fun taking down dragons with a fork. Ocasionally I will use this to temper a pair of boots to give me max protection allowing me to wear any other item of clothing if I want to go for a certain look. Sometimes it is easier to open the CK and change the chefs outfit to light armor and temper it normally and go slaughter a dragon as the butcher from HELLo.

But as I said before having fun is the most important thing.

You can still get way over the armor cap and make insanely powerful weapons and enchantments by using the alchemy/enchanting loop that doesn't use the fortify restoration glitch. The loop using the Sallow Regent Black Book and Ahzidal's Armor results in the most boost. You can do it with vanilla gear,[elderscrolls.wikia.com] too (this results in a slightly less powerful set of gear/potions, but still almost game-breaking intensity).

The links above are not the only sources but they're all similar, videos are available too if you prefer -- google for skyrim ultimate crafting.

Do not forget the necromage+vampirism boost. Even with that gear it still takes over 20 arrows to kill a dragon on legendary difficulty.

The bug relies on the fortify skill enchantments being known as from the school of restoration as are the fortify skill effects of potions. This means fortify restoration potions not only boost the power of enchanted gear but also their own effect. After getting enough +% alchemy the scaling formula breaks so you can start crafting ever stronger fortify alchemy gear even without fortify restoration potions.
