Can anyone confirm this? Just started a new game, got impatient and went for the fortify restoration/alchemy loop. Enchanted some apparel, made the potion, drank it, re-equipped, made new potion... did this several times without any effect at all.
So either I've forgotten how to do it correctly or the loophole has finally been fixed with the new 1.9 patch (I have 1.9.0.8).
It seems to have been fixed as I ran into the same problem. I was saving up for the longest time to make one big, crazy run through it and I seem to be stuck at 50%, which is where my last "seed" potion was before the patch.
Did they fix the stupid glitch where the "A" button causes you to eat your alchemy ingredients even though you're supposed to be required to pull either trigger button instead? This is particularly troublesome when moving ingredients whose quantity is greater than 5 and the controller "double-clutches" the "A" used to select the quantity, and therefore causes you to inadvertently eat the next item on the list.
You now can get a maximum of 31% Fortify Alchemy gear and a maximum Fortify Enchantment potion of 38%. (With Necromage perk, while being a vampire). More unfortunately is not possible. Fortify Restoration seems to no longer affect Alchemy.
(Without Necromage perk while being a vampire, it will be a maximum of 29% Fortify Alchemy gear and a maximum of 32% Fortify Enchantments potion)
This leads to maximum enchantments of 51% for example Fortify Sneak or Onehanded. Profession enchantments or Fortify Speechcraft and so on also reach a maximum of 31%. Magic Resistance can reach 25% and the Fire, Ice and Shock Resistances can reach about 47%.
However, a full 31% alchemy gear still is enough to craft handy potions such as Fortify Onehanded 151%, which will increase your onehand-weapon damage nicely and so on...
Though Fortfiy One-handed 151% is still nifty, I was looking forward to my Fork of Epic Death... Oh well. Thats what I get for actually playing the game for a while before going for the exploits.
The alchemy glitch still works for me on patch 1.9, however, My enchantmants will be extremely powerfull, then they'll just all of the sudden drop to 4%. for instance, i made a fortify smithing nacklace that make my weapons improve 300% better, then it just all of the sudden dropped to 4%. i dont know why this happens.
The sudden drop from godlike items to 4% as you said is likely the potion wearing off, as it only has a 30 second life. Typically I get only one or two items per bottle done. Worse off the clock runs while naming items.
Yes the glitch has been patched. I have an older save prior to the updates and have an excess of potions as well as different types of armor with godly abilities. I am talking to Bethesda about possibly making trading possible between NPC's using friends list. Not confirmed yet if they will allow it in Skyrim but the next Elder Scrolls will be able to accomplish the feat being it is a MMO Platform.
yeah i was doing it today, and i got in the millions of fortify alchemy on my gear, though i did end up "breaking alchemy" on this char, meaning my level 100 alchemy is acting as if it was lvl 1 and the perks arent working. Though the loop did work for me, it is not patched
The only thing that I actually use that I made with it is my "Anti-gravity" Boots (+20,000# carrying capacity). I can live with the guilt about not being inconvenienced with being overburdened all the time. All the rest of my stuff is plenty powerful enough.

It doesn't screw up your data really, you just can't access your 1.9 games because it doesn't have the "Legendary" options there. But after updating it again, you can once again access the others.
Drink it, but before exiting the Items menu, go to the Apparel page and doff and re-don one piece of your Alchemy gear. This makes no sense, but it's necessary to bypass a cap which only allows the potions to be 363% stronger.
Immediately go to the Alchemy lab and craft the 2nd potion @ 363%, exit alchemy and drink the 363 potion. Go to the Apparel page and doff and re-don one piece of your Alchemy gear.
3rd potion @ 427%; 4th potion @ 1165%; 5th @ 4428%; 6th @ 41573%; 7th @ 3075947%; and so on, but you risk crashing the program.
It probably depends on your system's CPU, memory, etc., but it really doesn't matter, because anything in the thousands of % makes you god-like, and sucks ALL of the challenge out of the game. The only thing I did that with is my "anti-gravity" boots which make my carrying capacity super high so I can fast travel without being over-encumbered.
I cant get this to work anymore. after i drink my restoration poition and unequip/ re equip my gear the %'s stay the same, preventing me from going any higher
I've intentionally not updated from I think 1.6 or 1.7 to the new patch just in case I can't do the exploit anymore. I'm on X360 with no DLC, after playing through a few times I use the exploit so I can wear any weapons / armour combination and make it armour rating / weapon damage equivelant to my current smith / enchantment level. Great for role-playing using lower tier equipment that matches my top tier stats, basically using exploit for fun rather than being OP. Sure I can't make skills legendary but by level 50 on master diffuculty I'm doing fine with smart perk choices. Bethesda should give X360 some console commands after you've beaten the game once.
Guys, it still works.... sometimes. What I mean is that once youve started the glitch and you exit an area, the enchantments still work as long as you keep it equipped. Once you unequip it its gone. alos, do this glitch with an amulet of Talos ;)

So guys this works but only on Xbox 360, Ps3 leads to dead ends when you try and make enchants they patched ps3 but the alchemy can still be leveled up but you must be level 40 in it and have as much skill points on it as possible But still what fun is it when you can have alchemy up but no enchants to help you through the game.. well yeah "cheat" through the game sorry Ps3 fans..
it works for me , i learned about it last night ... anyways today i made fortify restoration "1689936384%" same for fortify enchanting..and my bow does 1652555776% shock damage ... its legit the enchantment stayed on and everything
This has not been patched. I literally just did it 2 minutes ago on ps3 patch 1.09. This is the first time i did it so i don't know if it was slightly different as it took me a couple of times to get it. I made a restoration potion, unequip/re-equip, made another potion, unequip/re-equip about 4 times, made a fortify enchant potion that had about 11000% increase, created fortify alchemy enchantments on each of 4 items you can, which were at like 200000000% increase, waited for the restoration and enchant ptions to wear off and now have fortify alchemy of about 78000% on each item. So this did in fact work for me after a couple of wrong doings. Hope i helped people here
=)
I don't think they're going bother to take the time to patch this glitch, because if you don't like it, just don't do it. I made my weapons & armor plenty powerful enough by crafting sets of smithing and achemy gear, and potions to amplify their effects. The only thing I used this exploit for is a pair of "anti-gravity" boots that allow me to carry 20,000# of stuff.
