How To Enchant Weapons And Armor In Oblivion Remastered

by

In the realm of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, there’s an abundance of intriguing and distinct items to amass. Some of these items will be endowed with additional abilities, known as enchantments. These enchantments may either subtly or significantly influence the properties of that particular item, significantly altering your character’s performance.

Additionally, you have the option to customize your own equipment. This procedure might be somewhat complex, but once you gain the ability, you’ll have complete control to adjust your character according to your preferences, significantly enhancing your control over your character’s combat style and interactions with specific game elements.

How To Find An Altar Of Enchanting

Reaching the Enchanted Altar isn’t going to be a simple, straightforward journey. In fact, there are two distinct paths you can take, and neither one is simple or quick. Both routes require careful navigation and dedication.

Join The Mages Guild Or Frostcrag Spire

In The Arcane University’s Chironasium, there are alluring altars. You can access these altars only after joining the Mages Guild and successfully completing sufficient quests to attain the rank of Apprentice.

As a fan, I can share that nestled in Frostcrum Peak, there’s a charming player dwelling – the Enchantment Altar – that you can claim without any charges. It’s snuggled on the northern part of the map, to the eastward direction of Bruma. However, before you can lay claim to this enchanted abode, you’ll need to invest in a Megatallow Candle Box from Aurelinwae, which comes with a hefty price tag of over 2000 gold coins.

How To Get Soul Gems

To make your equipment enchanted, you’ll require some Soul Gems that have been filled. You can discover these gems in various spots across the world, but you also have the option to fill them yourself using the Soul Trap spell. This magic spell captures a monster’s soul when cast upon it just before its death.

You should make sure to carry the right-sized Soul Gem with you, and it might be beneficial to keep a few extra ones handy for capturing spirits as you encounter them.

How To Enchant Your Gear

After collecting your Soul Gems and the equipment you wish to empower, feel free to make your way to the Enchantment Altar and begin the process. There are several factors to consider when enhancing your gear, and we’ll cover each one thoroughly in this guide.

Select The Gear You Want To Enchant

Initially, choose the item you wish to enchant. You can find this option on the left-hand side, and it will display all the items in your inventory that can be enchanted, ranging from armor, clothes, to weapons.

Select The Soul Gem

After that, you’ll choose the Soul Gem for the first imbuement. A more remarkable Soul Gem leads to a stronger enchantment. However, the size of the Soul Gem isn’t always crucial when imbuing each item; it depends on the specific enchantment.

This principle is particularly crucial when imbuing weapons with magic. The larger the power of the Soul Crystal you employ, the greater the damage your weapon inflicts, or the more times it can be used before requiring a recharge.

Select Your Enchantment

After picking out your equipment and deciding on the Soul Gem you prefer, you get to pick among numerous charms or powers (enchantments). The options may differ slightly based on what you are enhancing, with a notable difference between gear and weapon items.

Gear Enchanting

As a gamer, I always appreciate the unique perks my gear offers – they don’t require recharging like some other items. Instead, these enchantments are constantly active when I’m wearing them, offering me benefits such as reduced damage from specific types, the ability to traverse underwater without needing an air supply, and even a light that stays with me in dark areas. These passive effects make my gaming experience more immersive and exciting!

Weapon Enchanting

Using multiple enchantments on a single weapon is indeed a complex procedure. Notably, it’s possible to combine various enchantments on a single item, but each individual enchantment may have a reduced potency due to the sharing of its power.

Additionally, there are several distinct user interface components associated with weapon enchantment that may not be readily apparent at first glance.

  • On the bottom right is the gold cost of the enchantment. This can vary drastically, from almost nothing to thousands.
  • On the bottom left is a lightning symbol, and this can be thought of as the fuel for the enchantment. The left number represents the fuel cost of the enchantment that you’re trying to make, while the right number is the maximum fuel that the soul gem you used can provide.
  • The candle in the center represents the number of uses the item you’re enchanting will have before it needs to be refilled.
  • Magnitude represents the strength of the effect, area is the radius that will be affected by your effect, and duration represents the length of the enchantment effect. All of these sliders are going to affect the values at the bottom.

How To Refill Your Enchantments

You’ll need to replenish your weapon enchantments, and you can do so using Soul Gems. The quality of the soul gem determines how much energy it provides for the enchantment. A common Soul Gem may only fill a portion of the gauge, whereas a lesser or greater one might refill the bar completely.
