Alchemy

The following alchemy ingredients can be used to create a potion of Fortify Sneak:

• Abecean Longfin
• Ashen Grass Pod^DB
• Beehive Husk
• Frost Mirriam
• Hawk Feathers
• Human Flesh
• Powdered Mammoth Tusk
• Purple Mountain Flower

Enchanting

The following items use this effect. You can learn how to enchant custom items with Fortify Sneak if you find one of the following items and disenchant it:

• All varieties of Boots, Necklaces, and Rings of Sneaking
  • Includes the enchantments of Minor Sneaking, of Major Sneaking, of Extreme Sneaking, of Eminent Sneaking, and of Peerless Sneaking.

Artifacts and unique items that use the effect but cannot be disenchanted include:

• Boots of the Old Gods
• Cicero's Hat
• Jester's Hat
• Movarth's Boots
• Nightweaver's Band
• Shrouded Hood

Linwe's Boots can technically be disenchanted, allowing you to learn a special version of Fortify Sneak named Shadowstrength. However, Shadowstrength cannot be used to enchant any items because no enchanting slots are enabled for the effect.

Blessings

• The Blessing of Nocturnal provides 10% Fortify Sneak.

Notes

• If you are enchanting for profit, Fortify Sneak provides the most lucrative enchantment that can be applied to apparel.

Bugs

• The enchantment version of this effect increases the likelihood of being detected, rather than decreasing it.
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.3 of the Official Skyrim Patch.
