Backstab enchant

Post by Syrkin »

Has anyone found any disenchantable gear that has the backstab enchant? I have a couple of DB pieces with it and Cicero's gloves, but they can't be DE. I'm on a 360 so I can't /console.

I'd like to be able to put it on my gear and maintain my uber fashion look. The DB gloves look cool, red-studded and all, but they don't match the Daedric outfit.

According to the Wiki, and my own experience as an obsessive enchanter, the enchant for sneak attacks to do additional damage is only found on the various Dark Brotherhood gloves. There are no "random" items which can be disenchanted to learn a comparable enchant.

So only the Jester's Gloves, Cicero's Gloves, the Ancient Shrouded Gloves, regular Shrouded Gloves, and Shrouded Hand Wraps possess this enchant, none of which can be disenchanted. Sorry.

I'm sad. Oh well. As an aside, I looked FOREVER for the Muffle enchant; finally found it on the Riften blacksmith, on a pair of Orcish Boots of Muffling, when I was about level 65. First and only pair found, and I beat the MQ last night at lvl 73.75.

I'm hoping that I didn't find one during my playtime levels 1-15 and just ditched them and forgot.

Yeah, I wish it could be disenchanted, too. With the number of Dark Brotherhood armor/robe sets lying around, you think at least one of them could suffer getting destroyed. It would be really nice if I could have backstabbing gloves that match the rest of my dragonscale armor.

You can disenchant Backstab from a set of "Worn" brotherhood armor. I found some in the place I killed the Jester guy Cerino or whatever his name is.

The problem is, I don't think you can add the enchantment to anything.

I have Backstab in my list of enchantment, but I have yet to see it go active for any armor or jewlery.

Really? You're not suppose to be able to find that enchantment at all.
