On a bookshelf found behind an expert locked door in Harmugstahl, a dungeon in The Reach.The second floor of New Gnisis Cornerclub in Windhelm, on a table.Below you’ll find the locations for said books, though you only get the boost upon your first read. There are five books to be found throughout Skyrim that enhance your Alchemy skill upon reading. Doing this allows you to wear five pieces of enchanted apparel at once as opposed to the usual limit of four. Falmers’ helmets can be found in Mzinchaleft (pictured below), just southwest of Dawnstar, or on random Falmer corpses. Remember that both your Smithing and Enchanting skills have to be maxed out to achieve such numbers, and this is no easy task.įor console players, we also recommend enchanting a Falmer’s Helmet and a Circlet and wearing both at the same time. This allows you to further increase the Fortify Alchemy enchantments, though the ingredients needed to make potions that increase your Enchanting skills may be hard to obtain and such potions only increase the maximum effect given by a piece of gear from 25% to 29%. You can boost your Enchanting skill even more by drinking specific potions. You can also get the Ring of Pure Mixtures from the Forsaken Cave as part of a quest given by Frida from Dawnstar, but if you give the ring to her, you’ll have to steal it back or loot it from her corpse in order to disenchant it.

You can find pre-enchanted gear randomly at shops or in the wild, but if you wish to take chance out of the picture, accept the “Mourning Never Comes” quest (given by Astrid of the Dark Brotherhood) and complete the optional objective along with the rest of the quest to receive Muiri’s Ring. You can disenchant gear that has the Fortify Alchemy enchantment in order to learn this skill and then use it as you wish on headgear, necklaces, rings, and gloves.
