How to Min/Max in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

I go through the steps required in order to get the best out of the three crafting skills in Skyrim.

Remember: I do not have combat perks/armour perks to increase my final damage and armour of the items.

For those who are stuck: I am playing in skyrim on pc with version 1.1.21.0. I start by enchanting some gloves, helmet, ring, and amulet with 25% alchemy. I then use these items to make a potion of 30% enchanting. Remember- while using these potions YOU HAVE TO BE FAST ENOUGH and make the enchantment before the time expires. You only have 30 seconds when you use the potion and the time DOES COUNT WHILE YOU ARE IN THE ENCHANTING WINDOW.

@tidomann This is why I use 4 of these potions to make FOUR new pieces with 28% alchemy. I use 1 potion for each piece of clothing I enchant.I use those pieces to make a 32% potion. This makes 29% Alchemy armour. This is where the cycle stops.

I just tested this again on my main character, and a new character by adding all the proper perks, and skills and items through console. I don't know where you are getting other numbers. If you are getting differant numbers- please post what system you are using- what version it is. I cannot confirm this on xbox or ps3. Remember to always make ALL 4 pieces FAST ENOUGH so the potion doesn't expire. Have all perks (Enchanter 5/5, Alchemist 5/5, Benefactor, Insightful Enchanter) and skills at 100

how do you get the fortify alchemy enchant?

[tidomann]

@letmeinyourhome You have to find a magical item that already has that stat and then disenchant it. Try checking vendors. I found most of my enchants from the quartermasters in imperial or stormcloak camps.

You can also increase your smithing more if you get the enchantment from notched pickaxe which is an easter egg placed on the highest stop of the world [ off road spot near throat of the world highest you can get] that special enchantmenet increases your smithing a little and does some shock damage if i recall corretly so you can make even more powerfull upgrades.

[georgefa1]

max enchanting potions i can make using alchemy bonuses is 22% any idea why it doesn't go any higher :/?

[Waceo]

[aaronsings007]

Just a heads up, you can get most of the ingredients (Except the Blue Butterfly Wings) at Angelic's Aromatics in Solitude. xD
