What enchantments do you use?

Do you have every pice of armor, ring, weapon, and necklace enchanted? What enchantments do you use? Do you use the enchanting alter or do you just use what you find when looting?

My character has enchanted everything he wears. The only thing pre-enchanted is Saviour′s Hide and a couple of rings such as Mundane Ring. His greaves and boots have shield enchantments and his hood fortifies his intelligence. He no longer use gauntlets.
His outfit has varied over the years, but Saviour′s Hide and his greaves and boots have been the same for at least two-three years.
Wintertime, when he stays in Bruma, is when he puts on his fur armor set enchanted with shield.

His weaponry has varied a lot but now he has a bow enchanted with shock and as always he carries his daedric dagger called Dark Dagger. Its properties I′m not supposed to say or I will face the Dunmer′s wrath :mellow:

My deadric bow is enchanted with level 25 demoralize for 1 second.
If I'm far enough away I can allmost allways get in as many sneak shots as it takes to kill them.
If not then they never get very close when they turn to run for 1 second every time I shoot them.

I have a ring enchanted with frost shield and one with feather.
Also crueltys' heart neckless?I think thats what it's called.

I've never enchanted a thing in Oblivion. I've used a few enchanted rings and amulets. In Morrowind I used a few enchanted weapons (such as the sword you get from Tarhiel).

It varies all over the map for me, by character. My Conjurer mage, who recently died, had Fortify Magicka and Shield effects (courtesy of sigil stones) on everything. She needed this because she had a non-mage birthsign and used no Restoration or Alchemy.

My favorite Warrior, Fortja, wore unenchanted light armor, the Escutcheon of Chorrol, and a couple of rings she acquired with Reflect. She mostly used a sword enchanted with Absorb Health, and a second sword enchanted with Soul Trap (sigil stones.) By the time she was "retired," she had most of the stuff you get as quest rewards, having done every major quest line except Thieves Guild and DB. That's a lot of enchanted stuff, and she occasionally wore the Crusader's Armor or the Imperial Dragon Armor.

Wild Elf wears just an enchanted Amulet that makes animals like her. And a sack-cloth shirt, not enchanted. She uses a fine steel bow and whatever arrows she finds, almost always poisoned.

Etta, who is level 1, has just found a Robe of Glib Tongues, and she's wearing it, along with fur boots, a fur shield, and a steel cutlass. A real fashion statement. :)

Buffy changes outfits and accessories far to often to be bothered enchanting much of it. In fact she only carries four enchanted apparel items (all rings). She wears a pair of detect life rings when in the wilderness or dungeons that combine to a range of 360 feet (very helpful to bypass foes as she rides her mare everywhere). She also has two rings that are for RP purposes only. One is a reisist fire ring and one is a resist frost ring - both are simply to make her more comfortable when in hot or cold places. Again, or RP purposes only, her mare's saddle pad is enchanted with resist frost; it doesn't hurt a thing but sure helps keep the horse more comfortable when near Bruma or in the snow.

Her weapon is another story. She only has one. It is a bow called Slayer and it is heavily enchanted indeed.

By the end of a playthrough I generally have everything enchanted. The only pre-enchanted items I usually use are the Cowl of Nocturnal and Umbra. Everything else I usually have some reflects, some attribute boosts, depending on the character maybe fortify magicka.

My longest played character carries two bows enchanted with Transcendent Sigil stones for 25 Fire and 25 Shock, plus a glitched Bound Dagger with 40 Fire. She has the Mundane Ring and the Ring of Vitality. Her armor, what little she wears, is enchanted with Shield 20% from Sigil stones. When she’s out hunting she wears her prison wrist cuffs enchanted with Detect Life 180 feet. She uses poisoned arrows too, but that’s not an enchantment.

Armor and sword (Mod implemented) are custom enchanted with Transcendent sigil stones and a grand soul (for the sword). Rings are in-game drops/rewards (Mundane Ring, Ring of Vitality, Jewel of Rumare, Ring of Khajiti) that get cycled on an 'as needed' basis while necklaces are custom sigil enchanted.

Savior's Hide has also become a staple with my Nord character's attire. Definitely makes a character look more like a hunter. :D

@OP. I usually use pre-enchanted attire, but my weapons are often enchanted with the typical soul trap, shock damage, and weakness to magicka combo.
