March 10, 20169 yr So I've not been keeping up to date with the patches, and back in the day people were grumbling about enchanting - specifically, "Why on a Superb item if I have 6 slots of enchanting left can I not enchant with Legendary as it would remove the Superb enchantment and so free up more slots?" Did Obsidian ever cave and change this so that enchanting factors in the slots lost (if you know what I mean), or do you always have to have the slots free for the enchantment you want to use (so Legendary needs 8 slots, yet if it overides Superb you'll get two slots back - but you still need those initial 8 slots)? Obviously the answer will effect my current enchanting choices (i.e. if I only need two slots free to go from Superb -> Legendary, instead of eight) if it was patched from the original situation. Personally, I always thought it made sense that you did have to have the free slots to put an enchantment on an item even though slots are recovered and never really got the original gripe - but that doesn't mean Obsidian wouldn't have necessarily conformed on a crowd-funded game and I currently don't have any items that fit the bill to test this with.

March 10, 20169 yr Author So - to confirm - you can go from Superb to Legendary with just two slots, rather than eight? It's mainly useful to know so that I can use those slots for other things in the mean time.
March 10, 20169 yr I could do exactly that with my armor in my current play through. "Time is not your enemy.
