the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

How can I increase weapon damage as much as possible in Skyrim? I am playing on Xbox 360. Are there any glitches that I can exploit?

Best Answer

Via Exploit:

  1. Get Yellow Mountain Flowers
  2. Get Salt Piles
  3. Buy Soul Gems
  4. Create a Fortify Alchemy Item(s)
  5. Equip the Fortify Alchemy Item(s)
  6. Create & Drink a Fortify Restoration Potion
  7. Remove the Fortify Alchemy Item(s)
  8. Repeat Step 5 through 8 until the Fortify Alchemy Item has a ludicrous boost
  9. Create & Drink a Potion of Fortify Enchanting
  10. Enchant any item that has a damage component (ex: Absorb Health)
  11. Have fun with your 6-figure+ damage output

Notes:

  • You can do the same for Smithing Weapons/Armour and then use this exploit (but it's just so much damage that you don't even see the difference between having a glitched sword + glitched enchantment than just a glitch enchantment on a sword

  • If you need to buy stuff from stores you can use the quicksave->kill->reload to refresh store inventory.

  • You don't need a high level of enchanting nor alchemy, although one does make the process faster

  • Don't go too overboard on the boost to the Fortify Items, as if they become too high the game may crash (~390000% is fine)

  • Recipe of Potion of Fortify Enchanting
