Enchanting no effect

[Sydaria]

Okay, so I can enchant items, but when wearing armor I enchanted my self, it has no effect on the character. Can someone help?

Hello, had you fixed your problem, I kind have the same. When Iam enchanting my Armor+Helmet and my Ring+Necklace to get 100% fortify destruction and restoration, it shows me only in active effects the juwerley or the armory effects, but not both. So I only have 50% reduction instead of 100%.

That is a display bug. Skyrim doesn't show totals for the various effect but will show each encahntment individually. Unfortunately if you have multiple copies of the same effect with the same magnitude such as you have with your items then it only displays one entry. The items effects still work perfectly fine however.

Try actually equiping them and casting a sustained spell, you should see them taking no mana if your items add up to at least 100% reduction.

That with the individually listing I know, but I dont have the effect, that my spells dont cost mana, but i have 4 times 25% fortify destruction and restoration on my items.

You have something unusual going on then I'm afraid. I'd suggest checking any mods that you have installed.

Thanks for the information and the fast answering. I had send an e-mail to the support, and I will check my mods, but the most mods I had installed are only for better graphics. So they didnt change that with an update, that you cant get 100% mana reduction for 2 spell schools, when you have enchanting lvl to 100?

It works fine for mine. I am running the unofficial patches but I don't think anything related to your problem was needed to be fixed by them. If you are not running them it may be worth checking them out.

Drop your items on the floor then pick them up and re-equip them, that may fix it.

Thanks for the answers, but I installed the unofficial Patches for skyrim + addons and that fixed my Problem too.

go to magic, then scroll down to active effects- shows you what effects you have on yourself or on your armor

[Trigger]

always use the unoffical patches to match your game

I have a question, does someone know if the publisher would have this effect in the game, that you could get a mana cost reduction of 100%???
Cause I think its kind of really overpowerd, if you dont have to spend as a mage points in your mana later in the game, if your enchanting is high enough.

[Richard]

It is balanced by the fact it takes four gear slots(three if you have every enchanting boost possible) to give one school of magic(two with the enchanting capstone) 100% cost reduction. That means that those slots are unavailable for other enchantments such as damage/magic resistances.

There is also the fact that you only gain the ability to make enchantments of that strength after a great deal of investment, which should have good rewards.

Yeah thats right, I invested a lot of time, to get my enchanting to 100, but now Iam glad that I did it, cause its much easier with less mana cost.
But with the bug before I was not sure if it was in the meaning of the publisher, that you can get this much manacost reduction.
At the moment Iam trying to get my alchemy to 100, but this sucks and take a lot of time and money, in my eyes much worse than enchanting.
