For enchanted weapons in other games, see Enchanted Weapons.

Enchanted weapons can be found as generic random loot throughout Skyrim. This page serves as a guide to the different types of weapons and enchantments.

Variables

Typically there are four variables that the game uses to generate enchanted weapons. These are:

  • Weapon quality - This pertains to the material the weapon is made of - from Iron to Daedric quality.
  • Weapon class - Varies from Daggers to Warhammers.
  • Weapon enchantment - The enchantment effect itself.
  • Enchantment magnitude - There are usually five or six levels of strength that an enchanted weapon may have. These are listed in the tables below.

An example of this would be "Daedric Greatsword of the Vampire". It should be noted that not every single combination of Quality/Class/Magnitude and Enchantment weapons are available in the game.

  • The prolonged Soul Trap period becomes increasingly useless as the Dragonborn levels up. Weapon damages will also increase due to smithing, and eventually it will generally take less than 5 seconds to kill a leveled enemy. Therefore, the excess time will be redundant. The only non-boss enemies that can withstand enough damage to last a full 20 seconds are dragons, whose souls are absorbed without needing Soul Trap.
