Elder Scrolls Blades: Full Enchanting Guide
Last Edited: April 30, 2019 at 4:00 PM
This page includes information on Enchanting weapons, armor, and accessories in The Elder Scrolls: Blades.
For information on the Equipment you can enchant, be sure to check out our databases for Weapons, as well as Shields & Armor.
Enchantments are permanent magical effects that apply as long as you use or wear the enchanted item. You decide which enchantment to apply to an item, but choose carefully, as an enchanted item cannot be enchanted again.
You will certainly obtain weapons, armor, and equipment which already contain enchantments by opening chests you'll obtain from missions, quests, and jobs in The Elder Scrolls: Blades.
Enchanted items can come with up to two additional secondary enchantments. Possible secondary enchantments depend on the item, as does the likelihood that they appear.
If you want to avoid relying on luck, and prefer to enchant your own equipment, however, you'll need to build an Enchanter's Tower.
The Enchanter's Tower requires you to reach Town Level 4, so make sure to build a Smithy, Workshop, and Alchemist Shop, as well as a few dwellings, to reach the required level.
The higher the Tower's level, the more powerful the available enchantments, but your options also depend on the item. Shields, helmets, and gauntlets, for example, all have different enchantments to choose from.
Note: Enchanting requires a number of items, from Soul Gems to herbs, which can be picked up during missions or obtained from chests. You can also buy certain ingredients from the Enchanter's Tower and Alchemy Laboratory.
While most weapon enchantments are available to all weapons, light, versatile, and heavy weapons each have a unique combat enchantment only they can receive.
Once the Enchanter's Tower is made, you'll have access to the following enchantments:
