About enchanting

I know i could simply try in the game, but if you could help... 🙂
Some questions about "strategy" for enchanting: my character is now at
70 for enchanting and 100 for alchemy. Using my alchemy i can make a
*huge* amount of fortify intelligence so i can raise my intelligence at
an arbitrary level. So:
1) Does intelligence influence the success of enchanting?
2) Does intelligence influence the power of enchanting (i mean the
power of the spell added to the enchanted item: for example with
intelligence X i could add a fire damage 10, and with intelligence much
greater than X a fire damage much greater than 10, without affecting
enchantment points required)?
3) If 1&2 are "yes", maybe it is better raise intelligence instead of
increment the enchant attribute to make powerful enchanting?
Thanx.

Yes

I have no idea.

You should also raise your Luck, as this affects success too. However,
even if your Intelligence, Enchanting and Luck are all at 100, you will
not be able to make things anywhere near as powerful as the NPC
enchanters can, since the game doesn't actually check their skill for
failure. In general, don't expect to make any Constant Effect items
successfully yourself until all these attributes are up around 400 or
so, which would be possible exploiting Alchemy as you suggest.

I've made Constant Effect items consistently with Enchantment in the
60 range, Intelligence hyped to about 210 (the ring from the Suran
Underworld final quest gives you +25 constant effect plus a single
Fortify Intelligence) and a Luck of about 150 (easily achievable with
a single Fortify Luck potion)

I'm using a self-imposed restriction of not stacking Fortify Strength
potions - though I did to do the final Bloodmoon quest at maximum
difficulty!

If you're into alchemy and have the official Master Propylon Index mod
installed you'll have no difficulty getting a set of GM level
equipment.

Thanks. Making some experiments in enchanting and raising my
intelligence level i found an interesting thing; maybe you know yet,
but anyway: lifting intelligence at "divine" level (i tried at 20K, but
you could go beyond as you like...) you could make *EXTREMELY* powerful
potions of Fortify Attribute.
That's what i did: in Gnisis Tribunal Temple you could buy ingredients
for Fortify Intelligence. If you make some potions, use it and continue
to make potion and use it you can get 20K intelligence in short time.
The trick here is:
1) make some potions Fortify Intelligence
2) use them and repeat from (1)
the potions made at every cycle are more powerful than the ones made at
the prevoius cycle. So you could raise your level in short time. It's a
sort of chain reactive system...
The interesting thing is that at 20K intelligence the potion you make
are *extremely* powerful, for example Fortify Intelligence 1000pts for
4000sec, but i tried also Fortify Willpower with similar results. And
that potions are also extremely expensive, making you a "cash cow" 🙂
