In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (including Oblivion Remastered), Sigil Stones are special items obtained by completing the main quest objectives inside Oblivion Gates. Here's what you do with them:
How to Obtain Sigil Stones
- Sigil Stones are found at the top of the main tower (Sigil Keep) inside each Oblivion Gate.
- After defeating the powerful Daedra guarding the stone, you take it from its pedestal.
- Taking the Sigil Stone closes the Oblivion Gate and teleports you back to Cyrodiil
How to Use Sigil Stones
- Sigil Stones are used to enchant weapons, armor, apparel, or jewelry.
- Unlike normal enchanting, Sigil Stones do not require an enchanting altar or soul gems.
- You can use them anywhere from your inventory.
- To enchant, select the Sigil Stone in your inventory, then select an unenchanted item (non-quest) to apply the enchantment.
- You name the enchanted item and confirm; the Sigil Stone is consumed in the process
Effects and Enchanting Details
- Each Sigil Stone has a predetermined, randomly generated enchantment effect.
- The effect includes an offensive (damage or debuff) effect for weapons and a defensive (buff or fortify) effect for armor/apparel/jewelry.
- The enchantment strength and effects depend on your character level when you obtain the stone.
- There are tiers of Sigil Stones based on level:
- Level 1-4: Descendant
- Level 5-8: Subjacent
- Level 9-12: Latent
- Level 13-16: Ascendant
- Level 17+: Transcendent
- Higher-tier stones provide stronger enchantments
Summary
- Use Sigil Stones to enchant gear with unique, powerful effects without needing soul gems or enchanting altars.
- They are one-time use and must be applied carefully to the best item you want to enhance.
- Obtaining them requires completing the Oblivion Gate quests and defeating tough enemies at the top of the towers.
This makes Sigil Stones valuable for boosting your equipment with special enchantments as you progress through the game
