Although enchanting items in Oblivion Remastered is one of the first things you want to get to, the mechanic is unfortunately locked behind a questline. To unlock it, you will first need to be a part of the Mages Guild and progress the questline until you reach “Apprentice” status. This will, in turn, unlock the Altars of Enchanting in the Guild Halls, where you can carry on with enchanting items.

Note: Altars of Enchanting, once unlocked, can also be found in Frostcrag Spire.

Enchanting items in Oblivion Remastered will require you the following aspects:

• Altar of Enchanting
• Soul Gems
• Gear that is to be enchanted

Now, let us have a look at how to enchant items in the game:

• Interact with an Altar of Enchanting.
• Select the gear that you wish to enchant.
• Select a filled Soul Gem (the bigger the Soul Gem, the better).
• Pick the enchantment you want.
• If possible, customize the area of effect, magnitude, and duration of the enchantment.
• Provide a custom name if you wish.
• Hit the Enchant button.

Note that weapons can have two enchantments added at once, although it weakens the power of each individual enchantment. This can only be done at the Altars of Enchanting.

There is another method to enchant items in Oblivion Remastered. This is through the use of Sigil Stones. They are found at the top of Oblivion Gates and have predetermined enchantments that can be applied to any item.

It is important to note that Sigil Stones can be used anywhere and do not require Altars of Enchanting to be activated.

• Descendant
• Subjacent
• Latent
• Ascendant
• Transcendent
