Skyrim:Staff Enchanter

The Staff Enchanter

Myrwatch Staff Enchanter

The Staff Enchanter, found in Tel Mithryn, is used to create enchanted staves. It is initially located behind a locked door, requiring you to first complete the Reluctant Steward quest in order to gain access.

Related Quests

• The Arms of Chaos^CC: Complete a mage's quest to reassemble two powerful staves.
• Put A Fork In It^CC: Pass Sheogorath's trial to earn his staff.

Other Locations

• A Staff Enchanter can also be found at Myrwatch^CC, with the added advantage that it can be accessed after only a short introductory quest without ever having dealt with Neloth.
• A Staff Enchanter can also be found at Bloodchill Cavern^CC. The introductory quest for this enchanter is far more difficult, involving a fight against leveled enemies.

Craftable Staves

The Staff Enchanter does not require the Enchanting skill, but still increases the skill when used. In order to create an enchanted staff, you must possess an unenchanted staff of the type desired (unenchanted staves may be purchased from Neloth), know the spell with which you wish to enchant the staff, and possess enough heart stones needed to enchant the staff.

There is no requirement that you be able to cast the spell you wish to use to enchant the staff; merely having read the spell tome for it is enough. Not all spells can be enchanted. The number of heart stones used to enchant the staff has no effect on the amount of Enchanting skill experience earned.

The Staff of Sheogorath can be crafted here as part of the Staff of Sheogorath Creation. The enchanted versions of the Arm of the Moon and the Arm of the Sun can be crafted here as part of the Arms of Chaos Creation.

Creation Club

Crafting these staves does not require knowledge of any spell. Despite requiring the use of a Staff Enchanter, these items are not added by the Dragonborn DLC and instead come from various Creation Club Creations.

Bugs

• Myrwatch's staff enchanter is not affected by the DLC2StaffEnchantingMult perk, which causes it to grant 20 times more experience than normal.
  • The Official Skyrim Special Edition Patch, version 1.6.318, addresses this issue. A separate perk is used to reduce the experience gain.
• Bloodchill Manor's staff enchanter does use the DLC2StaffEnchantingMult perk, but that perk isn't added to the player until they visit Solstheim for the first time. This means that the staff enchanter will grant 20 times more experience than normal until the player visits Solstheim.
