Permanent Enchantment Glitch Oblivion Remastered

While the majority of the original classics in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have long since been patched out, Oblivion Remastered has some new ones that are just as game-breaking. One of the most anticipated is the permanent enchantment glitch, a discovery that enables players to retain enchantment bonuses indefinitely. This Oblivion Remastered glitch completely removes the need to recharge magical gear, and players can now obtain unlimited buffs and buffed stats that never expire.

Why the Permanent Enchantment Glitch Is So Powerful

Enchanted items in Oblivion Remastered are among the most powerful gear in the game, but with a caveat: their power wanes over time as their energy is drained, and players must constantly feed them Soul Gems or Varla Stones. The permanent enchantment glitch turns that on its head by causing the effect of the enchantment to continue to be active even when the item itself isn't. It’s essentially a tweak on the old duplication glitch, which means it can be done easily on both PC and console versions of the game.

How to Perform the Permanent Enchantment Glitch in Oblivion Remastered

Choose Your Enchanted Item: Pick any enchanted gear with an effect you’d like to keep, such as a ring that fortifies Strength or armor that boosts Speed. Put that magic item in an empty chest, crate, or drawer. Make a Stack of Items: Get a massive stack of arrows, lockpicks, or anything else. If you don't have enough already, the duplication glitch will help you make a massive stack in no time.

Duplicate the Magical Item

On PC - drag and drop the stack on the magic item in the container. On console - press R1/RB and X/A together to shift the item stack. If successful, several copies of the enchanted item will be in your inventory. Equip One and Set the Trap: Equip one of the copied enchanted items. Then try to put your big stack of arrows or lockpicks back in the same container, though they really won't fit; it must be tried. Complete the Glitch: Finally, move all duplicated enchanted items to the container. They will be deleted from your inventory, but their enchantment effects will remain forever.

What Happens After the Glitch?

When finished, your enchanted gear will disappear, but the magical effects will remain with you. Check by opening your Active Effects window in the magic menu, the enchantments remain active, providing ongoing stat boosts without needing to recharge. For players who like to play around with Oblivion glitches, this exploit is one of the simplest ways of acquiring permanent power in Oblivion Remastered.
