Does anyone understand enchanting?

[Bazy]

I'm really confused as to which enchants are mutually exclusive with others. When I can enchant certain ones. And which overwrite which. The UI gives no help.

 

I had a + 1 Perception enchant on some armor and was going to replace it with a + 2 Resolve. And now it has both and my mind is blown.

I'm pretty sure you can have two +X enchantments on a suit of armor. Everything else seems to be only one of each type.

The way I understand it, (and this is mostly from [435], with a bit of additional info from the forums here - so I may be wrong,) - You can have 1 Quality enchantment, which can be overwritten by a higher tier Quality enchantment. (Accurate 1 or 2, Damaging 1 or 2, Fine, Exceptional, Superb.)

 

Then, you can have any 3 other enchantments, some of which may be Unique, that won't get overwritten. [EDIT](Except for better versions of the same - you can overwrite Might+1 with Might+2 or Might+3, but not with another attribute bonus.) Ah, nope - can't even overwrite those. Probably should be able to, though.
