While some of the exploits featured in the original release have been patched out inThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, players have discovered a bunch of new glitches that allow for permanent enchantments and more. TheOblivion Remasteredpermanent enchantment glitch removes the need to recharge magic items, letting players enjoy fortified stats and other buffs indefinitely.
Enchanted items are very powerful inOblivion Remastered, but their powers are kept in check with a continuously draining energy meter that has to be recharged with Soul Gems orVarla Stones. This permanent enchantment glitch keeps the enchanted items' active effects while they’re unequipped, so players don’t have to worry about charging their gear all the time. It’s a slight variation of the existing duplication glitch, too, so it’s easy to do on both PC and consoles.
How to Do the Permanent Enchantment Glitch in Oblivion Remastered
To do theOblivion Remasteredpermanent enchantment glitch, players first need tochoose an enchanted itemwith active effects that they would like to keep. That enchanted item should then beplaced in an empty containerlike a chest or a crate. Then, players shoulddrag and drop a large stack of itemsfrom their inventory like arrows or lockpicks (theduplication glitchhelps with this) onto the enchanted item in the container. On consoles, players should pressR1/RBandX/Aat the same time to transfer the item stack instead of dragging and dropping.
If done correctly, there should be alarge stack of duplicated enchanted items in the player’s inventory. One of those enchanted items should then beequipped. After that, the big stack of arrows or lockpicks should beplaced back into the container. The stack won’t actually be moved over to the container, but this step cannot be ignored to make the glitch work. To finish off the glitch, move the stack of duplicated enchanted items over to the container. At this point, all copies of the targeted enchanted item — including the one that was equipped — will beremoved from the player’s inventory.
Even though the enchanted items are gone, theactive effects will still be applied. To confirm that everything has worked, players can check the active effects tab of the magic menu. The active effects should still be attributed to the enchanted gear even though it’s not equipped. The enchantments will remain active permanently, lettingOblivion Remasteredplayers enjoy the effects ofpowerful ringsand armor without worrying about keeping them charged.
