How do I get muffle enchant?

Question

How do I get the muffle enchant, so I can enchant boots with it? I already have some quest boots, with it on, but I can't seem to disenchant them.

Answer 1

There are no unique items that can be disenchanted for the muffle enchant.

I'm afraid you're going to have to luck out and find a set of "[Any boots] of Muffling" to disenchant, which I will tell you now, is not easy.

I easily reset a shopkeeper's inventory 500+ times with no luck before I finally used the console to spawn myself a set of steel boots of muffling and took 100,000 gold out of my inventory.

Answer 2

You have to buy it or loot it, then disenchant it in order to learn it. You might have a better chance of finding one in the Thieves Guild.

Answer 3

My fist time through the game I found a pair of leather boots with the muffle enchant on them and that is how I got it. You cannot disenchant an piece of special equipment with the enchant on it how ever. Its not a bug, for example the boots you get for joining the Dark Brotherhood have the enchant with muffle on it but you cant disenchant those. Its all prety much random and requires a rather large amount of luck.

Answer 4

I'm with Steve on this one, I got a pair early on in the game. I'm actually on my 4th character (all over level 40) and have found a pair of steel boots with muffle on them that could be disenchanted 1 time...out of four playthroughs! Bought em from Adriana in Whitrun. They're incredibly rare.

Answer 5

Considerations about the Muffle :

• 50% Muffle is also available via the Muffled Movement perk.

• 100% Muffle is also available via the Silence perk.

• The magnitude of the Muffle effect is significant. However, the magnitude of enchantments and spells is not displayed in-game. Most built-in enchanted items have a magnitude of 0.5, meaning they are only 50% effective. The actual effectiveness of the Muffle effect for magnitudes below 1.0 depends on armor weight, i.e. 50% of the noise of Daedric is still much higher than 100% of the noise of Elven.
• All custom-enchanted Muffle effects have a magnitude of 1.0, regardless of skill level or soul gem used, making them greatly superior to most built-in enchanted Muffle items. Muffle also seems to affect the sounds of your weapons (excluding bows) and not just your footsteps.

The best way, still, trying to drop, find in shop or via console a pair of Steel boots of Muffling

Answer 6

After about 200 hours of playing, with 3 different characters I bought ebony boots with the muffle enchantment on them in whiterun. It's the only time I've ever seen boots with this enchantment on them that you could disenchant, so good luck ;-)

Answer 7

I have several boots/shoes enchanted with muffle, mostly from dark brotherhood quests. It does not give me the option to disenchant them so it is either bugged or the other answers are incorrect.

Answer 8

If you cannot do the waiting thing find a dungeon/cave small size with a lvled chest.. save before entering and try your luck with that worked with Oblivion?

Answer 9

Go to the Dark Brotherhood and they will give you a pair of muffled boots.
