Where can I get 'Fortify One-Handed' enchantments?

Solution 1:

The enchantment Fortify One-Handed can be found on Gloves, Boots, Amulets, and Rings. Your best bet for finding one in a timely manner (as I know of no disenchantable Fortify One-Handed items that are guaranteed to be in any one place) is probably to quick-travel between a few major cities and check with their shops for apparel that has the desired enchantment (Or just sleep/wait in a single city - the idea is get the shops to change inventory).

Whiterun is a particularly good destination for this as it has 5-8 shops that could sell an item enchanted with Fortify One-Handed:

  • The Drunken Huntsman,
  • Belethor's General Goods,
  • Adrianne and Ulfberth of Warmaiden's,
  • Eorlund at the Skyforge.

The two I'm not entirely confident about are the Jewelery stall in the marketplace (there isn't usually much inventory, and jewelry could contain a far greater number of enchantments) and the mage in Dragonsreach. Additionaly, if you have a spouse staying in Breezehome, they might be an additional store to check out.

Keep in mind you do not need to find a good buff percent on the enchanted item, when you disenchant it, you just get the base effect. The numbers on stuff you enchant are determined by the size of the soul used, your Enchanting Skill, the enchanting perks you take as you level up, and any potions that boost enchanting you may or may not have used.
