A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Level up your alchemy by making expensive potions and invest points into your alchemy skill tree.
There's also two more ways to increase your numbers:
The legitimate way:
Learn the fortify alchemy enchantment. Use some grand/black soul gems to create a set of armor (I think gauntlets, helmet, and jewelry) with the fortify alchemy enchantment. Brew a fortify enchantment potion while wearing that armor (I highly recommend a mod to increase the potion duration). Drink the potion and enchant a new set of armor. You'll start building up a big buff after a few times of this. You can also brew a potion for smithing for better armor and weapons.
The illegitimate way:
Enchantments are counted as restoration magic. Fortify restoration potions affect the armor enchantment bonuses too. Take a potion and put your armor on and now it's buffed by the potion effects too. There's a bug that allows the bonuses from the potion to persist after the effects should have worn off. A quick lookup shows this:
This will allow you to make some insane armor and weapons by abusing this glitch.
