How to Make Broken AF Equipment by Cheesing the Crafting System
Introduction
By exploiting a bug in the crafting system, you can create fortify enchanting potions that improve your enchanting by several thousand percent which will enable you to put incredibly powerful enchantments on your equipment. I can kill a dragon in three hits, my restoration spells cost 0 magicka, and I have over 1200 health in a dress.
Resources Required
-Equipment with "Created Potions are More Powerful" ability (fortify Alchemy Enchantment)
-Fortify Restoration Potion ingredients (for several potions)
-Fortify Enchantment Potion ingredients (for several potions)
-Equipment to enchant such as weapons, armor, clothes, jewelry (several, why not?)
-Grand Soul Gems filled with grand souls (several)
-Desired Enchantments (fortify one-handed, etc.)
Fortify Restoration Potion Ingredients (Any combination of 2)
-Small Antlers
-Salt Pile
-Small Pearls
-Cyrodilic Spadetail (red/pink fish?)
-Abecean Longfin (blue fish?)
Fortify Enchantment Potion Ingredients (Any combination of 2)
-Blue Butterfly Wings
-Hagraven Claws
-Snow Berries
-Spriggan Sap
Other Preparations
Build your skill with alchemy and enchanting and invest perks to increase the effectiveness.
30 Alchemy
Alchemy 30 with 4 perks: Alchemist (2/5), Physician, and Benefactor. I found that this exploit would not work if Alchemist was only at (1/5), but it worked at (2/5)!
Process
Once you have everything in the resources required section, you will want a location with a crafting table and an enchanting table side by side, such as the wizards lab in Dragonsreach.
1. Equip your apparel with the created potions are more powerful ability.
2. Craft 1 fortify restoration potion
3. Unequip your apparel with the created potions are more powerful ability
4. Drink your fortify restoration potion
5. Repeat 1 through 4. You will see the percentages of effect increase and increase. Once you begin, you can't stop.
X. When you finally craft a fortify restoration potion with a number like 10,000 percent (higher if needed), drink it, and quickly craft several fortify enchanting potions (which should give 3,000% enchanting). Percentages vary depending on your character's stats. If you can't create potent enough potions, build your alchemy skill and invest some perks. You'll have to figure it out.
Drink your Fortify Enchanting potion when you're ready to enchant an item. You have to be quick or this potion may wear off before you complete a single enchantment.
Warning
The game may crash. Potions that are too powerful may crash the game. Equipment that is too powerful may crash the game. The game is not likely to crash until the numbers become obscene, like one million percent.
