Hey all!

I have been reading alotta threads here and found answers I was searching for... but ...

Hmm, where to begin..

I have played morrwind for 20 hours I think, and I have found a few deadric weapons: Long sword, war axe, dai katana.

Im a melee red guard with specialization in long blade. So I feel like going with a 1 h weapon and a shield, a little sad couse I really like the dai katana, but Im unfortunately no squid... So I guess I go with deadric Long sword and shield... You have any suggestions?

The purpose of this thread is actually, I want to ask if anyone could give me some advice on enchanting?

I sold my other deadric weapons and Im quite wealthy now, therefore I bought a grand soul gem (twillight something.. ) at the mage guild in baldera...
As far as I can understand, its best to train enchant to 100 and enchant urself, or can this be done somewhere ? (for a price.. )
Also, should I wait till I get a grand soul gem with a Golden saint soul ?
I mean, either you go with cheap items, or you go all the way, then there is no reason buying the twillight gem for 60000 gold...

Hope you understand what Im asking (Im from Denmark, so my english is horrible..)

I will be looking forward for any reply!

Take care for now!

That means that you will need really good spells to enchant onto the item?
Where do I buy really nasty spells ?
I have never found a "summon golden saint" spell...

How does the soul trapped in the gem affect the item which is being enchanted ?

If I try to enchant the weapon myself, will I need Enchant 100 to be succesful ?

Thx for your advice so far!

Best bet is to enchant with an NPC.

Grand Soul Gem's are best because they will enable greater charge than other gems (and so allow more uses of the enchanted items.) Grand Soul Gems also enable CE (constant effect) items to be made at a fairly hefty cost.

Daedric weapons are ultimately the best to enchant, though the Ebony Staff has the highest enchant points. Enchant points change from weapon to weapon depending on what kind of weapon they are and what they are made of. Like I said, Daedric weapons and armor will, more often than not, hold the most enchantments.

Besides the Ebony Staff, Exquisite Amulets, Exquisite Rings (and also pants and shirt) and the Daedric Towershield all offer very high enchantment points.

Summon Golden Saint can be bought. I will tell you now that the highest summoned creature you are able to have as a constant effect enchantment on a weapon is a Fire Atronach.

For your other question, no, there isn't really any reason to buy the 60,000 soul gem. Never buy soul gems! You will eventually find Grand Soul Gems inside smuggler caves. Buy the Summon Golden Saint Spell and enchant any amulet or ring with it. Then you can summon a Golden Saint and kill it, then capture it's soul.

Equal. Both souls will give a charge of 400, and gems containing their souls are worth 80k. They will also give you constant effect enchantments, should you so desire.

I would save the Fortify Attributes for apparel, personally. The thing about weapons is that they don't hold a great deal of enchantment, even Daedric weapons.

Also, if you enchant with more than one effect, the result will be considerably diluted to what you will get if you enchant with just one.

My favourite spell effect for melee weapons is Absorb Health, cos not only will you do a heck of a lot of damage, but you'll transfer quite a bit of it to yourself, thus replenishing your own health, vampire-stylee.

Shock effects are good too, probably better than fire/frost effects, as fewer nasties are able to resist shock than fire or frost. First time I enchanted anything, it was a Daedric Claymore with 5 pts of shock damage, although these days I prefer a Daedric Daikatana with 35 pts of Absorb Health :D

Not that high, usually. Plus, you can get all that cash back right afterwards by selling any unnecessary expensive items in your possession to the enchanter.

And for what it's worth, a Daedric Tower Shield has the highest enchantment points of any item in the game. Of course, they are very very hard to find (a 1 in 20 chance of one being on a Golden Saint).
