Sigil Stones in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion are powerful artifacts found at the top of the main tower (Sigillum Sanguis) inside Oblivion Gates. Here's what you do with them:
How to Obtain Sigil Stones
- Enter an Oblivion Gate and climb to the top of the Sigil Keep (main tower).
- Interact with the Sigil Stone to pick it up.
- Picking up the stone closes the Oblivion Gate and teleports you back to Tamriel near the gate's location.
- You gain one Fame point per stone collected.
- The strength and effects of the Sigil Stone depend on your character level at the time of pickup, with tiers ranging from Descendent (levels 1-4) to Transcendent (level 17+)
What to Do With Sigil Stones
- Sigil Stones can be used to enchant one item (weapon, armor, clothing, or jewelry).
- To enchant, select the Sigil Stone in your inventory, then select an unenchanted, non-quest item to enchant.
- Name the new enchanted item.
- Enchanting with a Sigil Stone does not require an Enchanting Altar or Soul Gem and can be done anywhere.
- Each Sigil Stone has two predetermined effects: one offensive (used if enchanting a weapon) and one defensive (used if enchanting armor or apparel).
- After enchanting, the Sigil Stone is consumed and disappears from your inventory
Additional Tips
- The effects of Sigil Stones are randomized when you pick them up, so you can save before grabbing one and reload to try for specific effects.
- Higher-level Sigil Stones grant stronger enchantments.
- Some popular enchantments include Fortify Magicka or Feather on apparel and elemental damage on weapons
In summary, use Sigil Stones to create powerful enchanted gear by applying their unique effects to your weapons or armor, enhancing your character's abilities without needing traditional enchanting resources
