Best Sigil Stones in Oblivion Remastered
Sigil Stones are some of the most useful items to find in Oblivion Remastered, and their enchantment effects can magically change how your weapons and armors work in the game. You can gain these stones from the top of an Oblivion Gate, where you'll need to remove them to close a portal. Once you remove a Sigil Stone, it will be added to your inventory, and you can then use it as an enchantment. Using it on your weapon will trigger its offensive effect, while enchanting it on your armor will trigger a defensive effect. Best Sigil Stone effects in Oblivion Remastered The following table consists of the best Sigil Stone effects you can use on your weapons/armors. While the effects can be used at any player level, the effects will scale up as you level up. The stats mentioned here for the effects are at their maximum, which can be obtained once you get Transcendent Sigil Stones (obtainable from closing Oblivion gates at level 18 or above). Screenshot via Bethesda Effect Reason Shield on Self This Defensive effect can max out at 20% extra shield, which is massive for the endgame. The lategame features enemies that can do lot of damage, so having an armor with 20% extra shield is almost necessary. It also allows you to ignore potions that might be otherwise required for heals and protection. Absorb Magicka on Strike This is easily the best Sigil Stone to use if you're using a build that requires a lot of Magicka. The effect will help to absorb 50 points from the enemy's Magicka on every hit. Magicka, as useful as it is, tends to regenerate slowly. You'll either have to rely on potions, or invest a lot of points on the Willpower stat. Thankfully, this particular effect can help you recover quite a large amount of Magicka (but make sure to use a build that involves physical attacks from close range). Feather This particular effect doesn't have any impact on combat, but it's pretty useful. You can have 125 points of Feather on self, which will reduce the weight of the items available in your inventory. You'll be able to bypass the limitations of your encumbrance level, and carry more items. To do so, stack up enchanted items after you have Feather effect activated. This is one of the best ways of increase carry weight capacity without using console commands. Chameleon With up to 30% Chameleon on self, you'll be able to sneak your way behind enemies and take them down without any struggle. Stealth is a really cool mechanic that can make your general gameplay far more interesting. Frost/Fire/Shock There are three types of Sigil Stones available for use if you're looking to increase the amount of elemental damage on strike. You can deal 25 points of Fire/Frost/Shock damage on hit (any one type). These type of elemental attacks also work well against enemies that are resistant/immune to certain types of damage. You can usually do more damage against them by focusing on their weakness, which is possible with Sigil Stone effects that specialize in one type of elemental damage. Resist Magic This effect adds 20% resistance to forms of magical damage, and it's highly useful against enemies who specialize in such types of attacks. The additional resistance will help with greater survivability, and especially so if you struggle with attacks that do magic-based damage. Soul Trap Refilling the Soul Gems becomes mandatory if you have weapons with enchantments. Using Soul Trap spell is effective, but it has its own limitations. Using a Sigil Stone with the Soul Trap effect is a far better alternative. It will trigger Soul Drain on enemies for a fixed time. Once active, just hit as many enemies as you can refill your Soul Gems. Nighteye If you ever struggle against enemies in the dark, the Nighteye is the perfect effect to utilize. Unlike Light, it doesn't light up the dark. Hence, enemies won't be able to detect you even if you can. Using the effect will turn the world blue, allowing you to spot the enemies in the dark. Disintegrate This particular effect is highly useful if you're looking to handicap your enemy. The Sigil Stone effect will allow you to disintegrate either the enemy's weapon or armor, making it significantly weak in combat. Once done, it will be easier for you to dispatch them and finish the task. Water Walking If you ever want to feel like Jesus inside Oblivion Remastered, this specific Sigil Stone effect is certainly the way to go. The effect does exactly what its name suggests as you'll be able to walk over water. This will allow you to cross water bodies quite easily, and save time. While there's no direct effect on combat, having the ability will reduce the time taken for you to travel from one location to another (especially if they have a big water body between them). These are by far my favorite Sigil Stones that you can utilize in Oblivion Remastered. Make sure to equip them accordingly, as you won't want to waste their effects. Always equip them on we
