6 Water Breathing

Breathe Underwater Indefinitely

  • Spell Type: Alteration

There are some underwater areas to be explored that players might not know about, or might not know how to get to without drowning. Luckily, the Water Breathing enchantment is the perfect thing for players who are desperate to explore the depths of rivers, lakes, and oceans. With Water Breathing as an enchantment, players will be able to breathe underwater forever, unlike the spell version, in which players only have around 30 seconds. Water Breathing is especially useful on rings since players can take it off and replace it with another ring whenever they are not in an area that requires water breathing. However, this enchantment might be a little useless to Argonians, as they can naturally breathe underwater.

5 Feather

Ease the Burden of Carry Capacity

  • Spell Type: Alteration

For players who can’t afford luxurious enchantments or simply want a fast and hassle-free way of obtaining extra carry weight, Feather is the enchantment for them. With Feather, players are able to carry more items before they reach the penalty for holding too many items at once. While players might not be able to carry the entire loot of Cyrodiil from this one enchantment, it will benefit players due to its ease of opportunity. However, investing in Fortify Strength is smarter, as it provides the same carrying weight as Feather, along with an increase to Fatigue and melee damage.

4 Detect Life

Locate NPCs Through Walls

  • Spell Type: Mysticism

Detect Life becomes an important enchantment for those in the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood, as stealth will be a constant necessity for these quests and playstyles. With Detect Life, players have access to what’s essentially wall-hacks, as light and mist will reveal itself to the bodies of nearby NPCs, allowing players to know who is around the corner so that they do not make a wrong move and get detected in forbidden areas, or in the midst of a kill. While a default Detect Life enchantment is great, this effect can stack further, so players can see NPCs from even further away.

3 Fortify Skill

Increase the Points of a Skill of Your Choice

  • Spell Type: Restoration

Acquiring skills naturally might take a lot of playtime, and even using known exploits can take a while, considering the XP difference between higher levels. However, Fortify Skill allows players to somewhat bypass that requirement by giving players a decent amount of points into any skill that they choose to fortify. Fortify Skill is great for those who want to further increase their skills and enjoy the perk benefits that come with it. It’s also worth noting that if players use Fortify Skill on Athletics and Acrobatics past 100 points, they will still see benefits to jump height and speed. However, it’s a good idea to use Fortify Skill on the skill that is dependent on your playstyle.

2 Fortify Magicka

An Enchantment for the Spell Casters

  • Spell Type: Restoration

Fortify Magicka works better in potions and spells, since it will temporarily boost the Magicka of players to a powerful degree. However, for early players who have yet to invest in Alchemy, or just want to simply wear a piece of jewelry that doesn’t require much thought, then Fortify Magicka is the way to go. With this enchantment, players will boost the total Magicka that they have available, which is wonderful for those who have not been investing in Magicka, or for those who simply want to get as much Magicka as they can so that they can become a powerful wizard without stopping to regenerate Magicka.

1 Fortify Attribute

Increase the Points of an Attribute of Your Choice

  • Spell Type: Restoration

Attributes can only be leveled up once players reach a new level, and then they will have a few points that they can invest freely into the different core abilities. It takes a while to level up, and even longer to invest in Attributes, so it’s a good idea to skip the process by a few points with Fortify Attribute. Players can invest in any Attribute that they like, but Strength is a great idea for its carry weight, Fatigue, and melee damage increase. Yet, Fortify Attribute is freeing enough that players can truly invest in the Attribute that they seek advantage within.
