I have been looking everywhere for boots of muffle so I can disenchant them and get my custom pair. I have been cycling out days through waiting for 20 days now and still no boots of muffle have come up through the stores. Any tips?

These items are purely random.

Shopekeepers inventory resets after a certain number of days, whether that is 3, 7 or 30 is not known to me. However, I have noticed that if I reload a game, the shopkeepers inventory usually resets and the mix of enchanted items changes. So, you could just try reloading that save and talking to the shopkeeper. However, until the game decides to put one of them in there, it won't be there and there is nothing as a player you can do to influence it.

And, a question like this belongs in Spoilers, so I will move this now.

When im looking for specifics (especially enchanted ones) I normally go to the games more 'high end' towns and stores and blacksmiths. Windhelm stores and blacksmiths by far, Ive had the best luck with finding those more unique items. Also if its boots then try mainly blacksmiths rather then general goods stores. I find also finding the right store keeper for what I want, like checking with tonilla for thief related enchantments and potions or going to windhelm blacksmith for my battle enchantments and better quality armors. Im not sure if your level has a play in what is offered to you as well or just the strength of the item.

Got mine from the blacksmith in riverwood. I saved then checked his inventory. If he doesnt have it kill him and reload. Got it third try though it could have taken 100. Works with most merchants but sometimes doesnt at the smith by the whiterun house. Those two are pretty glitchy anyway in that they have separate inventory and merchant gold until the woman walks into the shop while you are in there.

I have only seen a muffle effect item at a vendor once in over 200 hours of play. You can get such items from the two obvious guilds, but probably they are not disenchantable.

Does reloading really from a save I made 2 seconds before I kill him work? Or to I need to save in a specific spot?

I found mine in a chest during a Daedric quest. I imagine it's a progressive level chest, so there's no gaurantee you would....

I love the logic of shade's post- if the shopkeeper doesn't give you what you want, just kill him. Lol

Anyway, the enchantments are level dependent so make sure your character is an appropriate level as well

I'm level 52

i bought a pair from a merchant and disenchanted em, so i make my own muffle shoes or boots, but i have a high sneak anyway and i prefer using another enchant on my boots but they are in the game and you can buy em and disenchant em, so you have to be looking for em at merchants at higher levels, eventually a merchant will have em, but you have to be paying attention cause they do seem rare, i only found em once so far but they are in the game for sale from merchants and they are prob in some chests or around also, so you can prob find em exploring.

Every time I run across a pair of "muffle" boots, they're usually in hide or leather. I don't go light.

Your funny, whats your tip?

The best thing about having muffle enchant is making a pair of muffle boots for your companion it is the absolute best....
