Reenchant an already enchanted item

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I've got some nice Dragonplate armour now and I was thinking about enchanting it with something nice. My enchantment skill is not maxed out though, so I will only be able to put some mediocre enchantments on the armour.

Can I put some weaker enchantment on it now and later, when I have better enchantment skill, replace the enchantment with something new? Or can I only enchant plain, non-magical items? Is there a way to unenchant an item?

Best Answer

You cannot replace enchantments, nor can you add to already enchanted items with the Extra Effect perk.

It is better to wait until you have a high Enchanting skill and the Extra Effect perk before enchanting good equipment, unless you have the materials to make another one.
