There are tons of empty gems in all shapes and sizes available for purchase and scattered all over the place in dungeons and hideouts, so grabbing any that happen to pop up is a good idea. Soul gems are necessary for the Enchanting skill, and coming across soul gems that are already empowered with the souls required isn't easy.

Hamal in Markarth and Neloth in Tel Mithryn both offer Expert level training up to level 90. Serginus Turrianus at the College of Winterhold offers Master level training to level 75. There are also three trainers who will help boost the skill for a price. Six books across Skyrim will raise the Enchantment skill the first time they are read - Twin Secrets, Enchanter's Primer, Catalogue of Weapon Enchantments, A Tragedy In Black, Catalogue of Armor Enchantments and the Oghma Infinium. However, there are other avenues of leveling that can be pursued as well. The more enchanting that is done, the more the skill rises. There are also three races that gain an instant +5 bonus to the skill at the start of the game: Imperials, Altmer and Orsimer.įinding an Arcane Enchanter (or furnishing a home with one) opens up abundant possibilities to experiment by placing learned enchantments on simple items, like crafted iron daggers or silver rings. To gain a boost for enchanting, which is included under arcane traditions, activate the Mage Stone between Helgen and Riverwood for a bonus. As with any skill in Skyrim, practice is one of the most consistent ways to earn levels, and the Enchantment skill is no different.
