If I remember correctly, the only enchants you can recover from robes are the "+Magicka Regen" and "Reduced spell cost and magicka regen" (depending on the school of magic ie destruction/illusion) enchants

When I disenchanted a +150% regen, I wasn't able to re-enchant the full 150% onto my chest, the highest I could get it was 40%

There are three types of enchants that you can get from robes. The first is a straight up magicka regen, with the base regen values as 20%. The second is a fortify magic school enchantment which reduces the cost of a spell school. The base value for this is 8%. The last one is a combined fortify magic skill and magicka regen, where the fortify base value is 5% and the magicka regen is 10%. I think the magicka regen portion of this enchant may be fixed though.

Right you are.

As a mage with 100 enchanting and perks up to the top one to get 2 enchants per item. You can reduce the cost of 2 magic schools by 100%. The best 2 would be Resto and Destro As those are the 2 active combat schools if you catch my meaning. Even if you are a conjuration+ Destro mage, you wont use conjuration that much in combat, and if you do, its a huge magicka sink coupled with the active combat spells. So rather allow the active ones to be free. Your magicka regens while casting free spells. So even if you do need to sink a lot of magicka into conjuration or alteration during a battle, it will just regen while you firestorm or blizzard everything in sight. :)

Dragons seem to only appear if you're out in the open world. I've never had one attack me by walking around in a main city with enclosed walls. So if you're spending all of your time in cities like Whiterun, Riften, Windhelm, etc, that is why there are no dragons. On my first playthrough I didn't fast travel as well till I got to lvl20ish and had only 2 dragon encounters till then. Realized that the game would've taken me years to play through if I spent so much time walking around. So I started fast traveling eveywhere. Had a dragon pop up at almost every location. The spawns seem random without any minimum time limit. Once I had 4 dragons spawn in a single day (game time), just by fast traveling to places close by in the open world.

hmmmm interesting. So there is no minimum time limit, only a random factor when you enter an area. Unfortunately its pretty hard to test whether that same scenario would have happened if you simply legged it to all those locations. I would be willing to bet that it would have. You just happened to run across a really good lucky string of locations.

The only way to test it would be to quick save, fast travel, quick save fast travel, between 2 nearby location where you know a dragon has spawned in the past. Then on the fast travel where the dragon appears. Simply reload and leg it to the same location. If the dragon still spawns then it has nothing to do with quick travel other than the fact that you can traverse between dragon spawn locations quicker. I may give this a try when I have more time, but saving on console is not quick and easy, so its far more painful than it would be on PC.
 
Does anyone know whether the light armor or heavy armor skill has any effect on the mage armor (like stoneflesh)?

I don't want to waste perks unless I know it will make a difference :)

On a side note. I was walking through cna this afternoon and saw the ps3 skyrim version for R999!!!!! Are they ******* insane! It wasn't even a collectors edition or anything :wtf:

I dont think its possible. Here is the formula:

net magnitude = base magnitude * soul multiplier * skill multiplier * (1 + Enchanter perk) * (1 + specific perk modifier)

Skill multiplier is approximately 1 + 0.3 * ((skill-10)/100)[SUP]2[/SUP].
Lets assume you use a grand soul, your skill is 100, enchanter perk is maxed at 100% and you have the corpus enchanter perk.

net magnitude = 20 * 1 * 1.243 * 2 * 1.25
net magnitude = 62.15%

Thats pretty much the max you would get without using potions.
And the highest gain potion you can create is 32% increase (i think)

I don't think so. The perks for heavy and light armor seems specific to those type of armors. Alteration have the Mage Armor perks, which makes the armor spells up to 3 times as strong.

How do you do this?

Sorry, just been catching up on the thread now :)
*Push Q to bring up your favourites
*Move your mouse over the item you want to number
*Push number on your keyboard while hovering over item

You should see the number appear next to the item if done right.
 
Yeah, that place if full of Falmers and they hit HARD. Also few of those wormy, scorpion, poison spitting thingys.

Edit: Sorry this was a reply to The_Omlette's last post..

Ok Vampire in Skyrim = No Good, not as much fun as in Oblivion

Dam dragons, Vampires have a Weakness to Fire. So if you are on stage 4, that is awesome for dungeon crawling just pray that you dont meet a dragon on route to your next meal. 100% weakness to fire is just no good against em.

Looks like the developers where all for "Team Jacob" :)

How do I get cured!?
I've been fighting some vamps recently and now it seems my chara is one too :(
 
Good news, turns out having a follower helps attract dragons :) so I'm getting my souls and bones now. Happy llama.

If you just have the disease, drink Cure disease potion, if you a permanent vamp, join the Companions found in Whiterun, in fact the benefits being a warewolf gives you can be seen as a gift in this game.

there is a whole other quest line to follow if you want to cure it without being a warewolf.
 
I've always seen my werewolf form as a bit useless until last night when i was having trouble with a mob of falmer nightprowlers, gloomlurkers and a shadowmaster, switched to beast form and annihilated them easily!

After i wiped out a few the others started running away!

You seem to have forgotten the other benefits that come with being a werewolf that does not need activation, like immunity to diseases, and the wolves that dont attack you around every corner.

You can also get rid of the form by doing the quest Purity if you want to start using your Cure disease potions every time you get bitten by rats or attacked by wolves or want to get a good night's rest.

Yep, the disease resistance was the reason i didn't remove the curse, but i never really used the beast form much. Until now.

Also, i still get attacked by all wolves in normal form. But they're one hit kills so its no biggy
