Does anyone have a reliable guide about which skill bonuses actually have an effect when put on an item, either through the enchanting basin or when found on a random enchanted item loot drop from a unique foe?
I seem to recall that some of the enchantment basin options for skill don't actually figure into calculations for that skill but I'm not sure. Likewise with skills like UMD that can only be found on the randomly dropped items.
Ok, so, it's not exhaustive, but ...
_ Cannot add climb or heal with the basin, but you certainly can add umd.
_The only skill bonus on item that will have no effect that I know off is Craft Mastery.
_ If you wonder what enchantment doesn't impact runic system : specific saves (like fortitude, will ...)
I'm almost sure I have read enchantment basin charts on this very forum but can't seem to find back where ... Anyone has the link to something good?
It's not anything to do with the enchanting basin but the skill itself.
Example: tumble does not give +AC from equipment/buffs, only hard ranks
Spellcraft uses soft ranks to determine bonus to saves vs spells.
