After messing around with it yesterday, I noticed that if you are still under the effects of a Fortify Restoration potion when you make a potion or enchant gear, the % it shows of the potion or enchantment is what it is while under the effect of the Fortify Restoration potion. When the potion wears off, the effect on the item will return to what it was supposed to be.

You could actually do this glitch at a low level Alchemy as long as you have 3 points in Enchanter & a point in Insightful Enchanter. Just make an alchemy set using Grand Soul Gems, then get ingredients for Fortify Restoration, Fortify Health Regen & Fortify Enchanting. Make 1 Fortify Restoration potion to start the glitch. Use it and make another Fortify Restoration Potion and repeat until you get a potion with a 6 digit effect (it will drop down once the current potion wears off), also make a bunch of Fortify Enchanting potions. Unless my memory is off, that last Restoration potion and Enchating potions should have a 4 or 5 digit effect after the current potion wears off.

Next get 8 Grand Soul Gems. Which if you had any ingirients for other potions/poions & made them will be easier, since you can buy a bunch, then sell a potion to get all the merchants gold and repeat until you have the Soul Gems. Then use the Fortify Enchanting potions to make a new Fortify Alchemy set and a Fortify Smithing set. If your fast enough, you could probably make 2 pieces of a set per potion. Use the rest of the Fortify Enchanting potions on whatever.

The Alchemy and Smithing sets can be used/abbused for quick leveling. For Alchemy, making Fortify Health Regen potions will level you quickly. For Smithing, improving a Lether Bracer/Iron Dagger once maybe twice should get you to 100, then reset and repeat. Once you get to 110 or so, you won't get as many levels per cycle, or maybe it's because of smithing is at Legendary 30+.
