id buy soul gems but they cost soo much and the alter in the college is always out of them

whats the best enchantment to get the most xp from


i have an amulet of 100% disease resistance is it true that you only get one of these per character and if i disenchant it i can at best make one of 7-10% ?

is there an enchant more valueble then sneak for armour and banishment for weapons ?

when making armour enchants is it better to use black soul gems or the poor quality ones due to constant effect no matter what ?


do any fort containing mages not have necromancers ...

Banish and, to a lesser extent, Absorb Health give massive values to weapons.

The value of the item after enchanting has no effect on the xp gained, it's the type of gem used. Greater soul gems will grant more xp than petty, regardless of whether you enchanted a sword with soul trap or a helmet with waterbreathing.

You can find the disease resistance necklace in loot, or from various general shops and the clothes shop in solitude. It isn't a one time item.

Banish is the highest value enchantment for weapons, fortify sneak is the highest value for armor/clothing. But when using lower tier gems the waterbreathing enchantment grants a higher value item.

is it true its not worth perking enchant till level 100 otehr wise you end up with 10% out of level perked at vs 10% /100

That might be true for recharging items, but for straight-out enchanting at the alter, all enchantments, souls, and soul gems all provide the same amount of XP.

I personally buy petty/lesser (and sometimes common) soul gems to increase enchanting in bulk. I go raiding and use my soul trap weapons to harvest souls and then enchant several dozen rings/necklaces/armour pieces at once.

Getting the black star and then recharging your weapon with it after every kill is also a fast way to increase enchanting, though I prefer the above...

Gaining Skill XP

• Crafting enchanted items gives the biggest overall skill increases. The increase is a flat number per item.
  
• Disenchanting items gives widely varied skill increases, dependent on the effect learned and the magnitude on the item, with apparel effects generally giving larger increases than weapon effects. The base value of the destroyed item is irrelevant. However, only one item per http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Enchanting_Effects may be ever disenchanted.
  
• Recharging enchanted weapons using http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Soul_Gem gives small to moderate skill increases, based on the size of the soul used. It does not matter how many charges there are left on the weapon. Using http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:The_Black_Star and a Weapon with Soul Trap effect, you can train by recharging the weapon after every kill without having to worry about soul gems.

One way to level up Enchanting quickly is by disenchanting items - the more powerful the better - but will only get you so far. After that, you will have to advance by crafting items: acquire a number of filled soul gems of any size and the same number of unenchanted weapons or armor. Enchant all of them; preferably with the most expensive enchantment you know for maximum profit. Using http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:The_Mage_Stone and a Sleeping bonus (such as Well Rested) will increase the experience you gain per enchantment.

I mentioned the value because it not only aids with XP, but the OP said he was having trouble affording soul gems. Other than dungeon/Blackreach-diving, this would give him the best opportunity to buy some.

First, necromancer hideouts are a great place to get soul gems of all types, do the college of winterhold quest line, youll be sent to places that have alot of soul gems lying around, such as dwemer ruins (dwarven spiders and guardians drop them frequently) whatever your highest smithing tier is, craft as many simple items as you can, (bows, daggers) enchant these, then sell them also pick up all that equiment lying around dungeons that you would normally skip over and enchant them also before selling them, this will boost your enchanting and smithing, and make you a nice profit. as someone mentioned above, the Azura's Star daedric quest is a good one if your serious about enchanting. (give it to Nelacar, trust me!) my character is level 42 with 99 in smithing and 80 something in enchanting and these tips have worked well for me. and yea, avoid purchasing soul gems unless you're desperate, as they are crazy expensive. good luck

i have 70,000 gold atm i just dont feel like wasting it on soul gems rather use it to buy enchanted gear i dont has and daedra hearts

Thanks, I always used petty and lesser souls, look like it's smarter to use larger sizes, at least later then you have enough gems and money. As smaller gems has little other use you can just as well use them as well also as they sell as just as much then used on weapons. Main benefit of enchanted jewelry is that you can sell it back to the mage you bought the gems from.

I smith a bunch of necklaces & iron daggers and save up a chunk of money (wish I could tell you how much is "enough" - probably 10 or 20K?? Anyone else chime in) - go to Winterhold, Hall of Countenance - buy all Petty & Lesser (and Common if you can afford) gems from the 3 mages on 1st floor & one mage on 2nd floor - hit the enchanter, enchant everything (I use Absorb health on dagger & water breathing on necklaces) - then go sell everything back to the mages in Countenance (before they "lose" the extra coin you just gave them for the soul gems!!). Sometimes you have to wait 48 hours for them to have enough coin to buy everything you've made & you always have to wait anyway for them to "re-stock" gems.

Now - you'll have a tidy profit & "rinse and repeat"

It's a lot of smithing (or if you have coin, buying CHEAP items), a lot of waiting for mages to re-stock soul gems & coin - but it's the "fastest" way to grind up enchanting I've come up with & you can do it in just a couple locations (smith in Riften or Whiterun, enchant in Winterhold). As said above - I DO have Mage Stone activated when I do this - that is very, very helpful!!!

im currently useing the lover stone

You can easily make up for for what you spend on gems, and actually make a profit, by selling the right enchanted items. You could actually wipe out a vendor's money on one sale. Done right, enchanting and alchemy are serious profit-making ventures that will also earn you XP.

i get bored sitting in front of vendors for 48 + in game hours why cant resting work like it did in Morrowind and take like 1 second to get through 24 hours instead of 2 - 5 minutes ...

Are you on PC or console? I'm on Xbox and felt the same way you do. I changed the settings to remove autosave on wait/rest. Now, it takes me like 1 minute to wait 48 hours.

Ive always turned off autosave nothing worse then messing about with guard to find out all ur saves been over written with saves with bounties in the 100 millions

This is the exact opposite of what I find to give the most XP gain. It comes down to XP gain is a direct correlation to total value. Some enchantments will grant a higher value of the item.

if i was on pc id just ender command prom set level 100 and equip all perks ...

To quickly get a seller to refresh his/her stock and gold:
1) Save the game.
2) Attack him/her
3) Load the save

I have no idea what you mean here, but I'll take a shot:

There is no difference between taking the perks as you level and taking them all at skill level 100.

Are you sure? I need to test this before commenting, I was going under the assumption that better soul gems provide more xp. Pretty sure this is what I experience.

Uesp can be wrong. It's probably right though, I'll check later.

Hmmm the bold must be why enchanting leveled so quickly on my main character then.

Its perfectly fine to perk enchanting "as you go". You will want to get those first two enchant perks as early as possible because at that point the enchants equal about base-level enchanted items.

i always have a dagger of soul trap on me, and when I need souls I start going out and killing mudcrabs.

buy all petty gems you can, they're cheap and easily filled. then burn them all on silver rings you make.

Yeah and after the early levels, money becomes so easy to come by that spending them on filled petty soul gems is a good money sink. Eithe rway, enchanting is very easy to level.

I love doing this in Whiterun:

Get a bunch of iron ore from various mines.
Use the Transmute spell (found in Halted Stream Camp) to change some of it to silver/gold ore and make iron, silver and gold ingots at the Smelter.
Craft up a bunch of iron daggers and gold and silver jewelry.
Run up to Dragonsreach and enchant them all with Waterbreathing (on the jewelry) and Banish (on the daggers).
Sell as much jewelry as possible to Farengar. Sell the rest to Belethor. Sell the daggers to Adrianne and Ulfberth (try to catch her outside the shop, they have separate cash then).

Lather, rinse, repeat. Levels Alteration (for Transmute), Smithing, and Enchanting.
