Why can I get more enchantment on steel armor

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

The enchantment on my steel armor compared to my daedric armor is about 17,5% more powerful? Is there a penalty on the daedric armor? I can see the improvement on 2-3 armor pieces. I've 100 entchantment skill and the entchanment is carry weight and fortify one-handed. I enchanted them with a long period of time in between so maybe I just confuse some values.

EDiT: I think this a glitch!!!! I've verified it. When I select an item and then the enchantement the system proposed a 17,5% higher enchantment percentage. Then when I must choose a gem to fuel the weapon I select my black star filled with a grand soul worth 1000g. Until now everthing is fine. But when I select for example a Grand Soul Gem filled with a grand soul worth only 500g then I get my expected lower entchantment percentage. When I change back to the black star it doesn't show me the higher entchantment percentage it shows me before the glitch? I can select the glitch again and select a grand soul or any other gem and back but the enchantment percentage remains about 17,5% under the first value? Hence when I craft the item I get only the maximum fuel of a grand soul gem filled with a grand soul even when my current selection is higher? What do you think? Do you can fix it? I've version 1.3.10 of the game.

Best Answer

  1. Weaker soul in a large gem. It's easy to mistake Grand Soul Gem (Great) for Grand Soul Gem (Grand).
  2. Obviously, any improvements to your Enchanting skill or new Enchanting perks will affect this.
  3. Do you have any magic effects currently active? You can't enchant a +enchant%, but you could have a potion that will affect this.
  4. Do you have a +restoration buff? All "Fortify X" effects are considered Restoration. Thus, a boost to your restoration will make a +enchant potion more effective than without the resto buff.
  5. Do you have any negative effects when you do the daedric? Aside from the obvious, I think a debuff to resto would also hamper +enchant stuff you might be using.

The material doesn't make a lick of difference. Unlike Morrowind, the item receiving the enchantment has no bearing on the magnitude of the enchantment.
