Alchemy[edit]

The following alchemy ingredients can be used to create a potion of Fortify Heavy Armor:

Enchanting[edit]

The following items use this effect. You can learn how to enchant custom items with Fortify Heavy Armor if you find one of the following items and disenchant it:

  • Most varieties of Armor and Necklaces of the Knight
    • Includes the enchantments of the Minor Knight, of the Noble Knight, of the Major Knight, of the Eminent Knight, and of the Peerless Knight

Artifacts and unique items that use the effect but cannot be disenchanted include:

Notes[edit]

  • When Fortify Heavy Armor is crafted via a potion, only the magnitude (how much your Heavy Armor skill is raised) is increased by Alchemy perks, skill level, and Fortify Alchemy apparel worn; the duration (60 seconds) never is increased.
  • The Fortify Heavy Armor enchanting effect can be placed on Light Armor pieces even though they don't benefit from it.

Bugs[edit]

  • Several items with "Knight" enchantments actually fortify your Light Armor skill instead of your Heavy Armor skill. In particular:
    • Dragonscale Armor of the Eminent Knight
    • Dragonscale Armor of the Noble Knight
    • Dragonscale Armor of the Peerless Knight
    • Elven Gilded Armor of the Eminent Knight
    • Elven Gilded Armor of the Noble Knight
    • Glass Armor of the Eminent Knight
    • Glass Armor of the Noble Knight
      Mod Notes: Item names should read "Squire", not "Knight"
