Enchanted armor is armor that can bestow attribute or skill boosts or abilities to the wearer. Armor is enchanted through the use of soul gems and an Altar of Enchanting. They can be more useful than spells because they are in effect all the time. However, enchanted armor can only be repaired by the Hero of Kvatch with level 50 in Armorer. Otherwise, blacksmiths must be hired to repair it.
