    So I just finished trying this method, to no avail.

    Without my gear on, I took a restoration potion I had in my inventory. Put the gear on, created another restoration potion. Exited the alchemy lab, took off my gear, took the potion and put back on my gear. Nothing.

    So, then I reloaded the game to start over. This time I tried taking my gear off, exiting the menu, re-entering the menu to take the potion. Exited the menu, re-entered and put my gear back on. Opened the alchemy lab, created the next potion and repeated.

    In both instances, same thing as last time. Restoration enchantments & potions are maxing out at the same levels as beflre.

    Any other ideas?

    Okay, so it seems regardless of how I try to get this to work, it isn't going to. I decided to do a little experiment and I took off all my Alchemy gear and tried to do the restoration glitch without the gear on. Same result, the potions stopped at 95%. My hypothesis is that you cannot be at a Level 81 with all the alchemy perks and have a high alchemy gear set. I am in the process of starting a new character, I'm going to try and do this without all of those additionals. Just going to get my alchemy skill up in the mid 30s low 40s and start from there.

    I'll let you know what I find out.

    OK, so after I spent this weekend tinkering around, turns out it is just that particular profile that the glitch isn't working. I started a new character (Khajiit) named Raven Moonscar (Scooby Doo: Zombie Island), and I started off like normal got my Alchemy up to around 40, got me a couple of good pieces of Alchemy gear. Viola! Worked like a charm.

    I loaded up to an earlier save point, did the Oghma Infinium glitch, got another good set of Alchemy gear. Worked just fine.

    I switched over to the other account, tried to do the exact same thing; no dice.

    Let this be kind of an FYI to people, that if the restoration glitch isn't working for Profile A, try starting a Profile B to see if works that way.

    In conclusion, Raven Moonscar now has a Daedric Dagger with 10K damage w/ Absorb Health & Soul Trap. Of course, I'm only using this dagger whenever I feel like going on a tear.

    Thanks to everyone for their help.

    Yeah this doesn't work for enchanting. No matter what level I stop at, if it is even close to being over 100% on the enchanting potion, the game crashes as soon as I select an enchantment. Tried a ton of different things, nothing works. Oh well, seemed promising.

    I had the same problem, but to anyone experiencing the same issues, here is a guide to an altered version of completing the glitch.
    Step 1: Create Gear, enchanted with fortify alchemy (head, ring, necklace, gauntlets), fortify smithing (torso, ring, necklace, gauntlets) fortify stamina (any item it's possible on), fortify stamina regen (also any item it's possible on) and finally fortify carry weight (boots). The stamina and carry weight bonuses help you get around very quickly while preparing to make your final product. I used Leather armor, very easy to craft.
    Step 2: Do normal fortify restoration loop (make potion, reequip gear, you know the drill) until you get to a really high percentage (don't go into the negative percentages! Save before you do this!)
    Step 3: After your final fortify restoration potion, unequip and reequip your gear. Your carry weight, stamina, alchemy, smithing, etc. will be ridiculously high. Now, here's a tip. DO NOT UNEQUIP ANY OF YOUR GEAR. The previous restoration glitch will remain on your armor until you unequip or reequip it. KEEP IT ON.
    Step 4: Never mind your fortify smithing or enchanting potions. Don't make those, and upgrade the armor and weapons of your choice with your current ridiculously smithing fortified armor, so that your armor rating and damage are really high. Before you set out to enchant your new overpowered gear, make as many ridiculously powerful fortify restoration potions as you can. Do not drink any.
    Step 5: Go to an enchanting table, and enchant the gear you want. Enchant your gear normally, without any added bonuses. Rename and enchant to personal preference. I used Daedric Armor, but you can use Dragon, Orcish, or even Iron, because armor rating is already very high.
    Step 6: Equip your not so powerful enchanted gear.
    Step 7: Drink that extra fortify restoration potion, and quickly unequip and reequip your game-breaking gear. Voila. You will have your ridiculously overpowered percentages, and they will not wear off until you unequip them. REMEMBER THIS: although your gear will say it reverted back to "Health increased by 62." or something, your Active Effects (shown in Magic menu) will still display overpowered percentages. If you unequip your gear, simply take a very powerful fortify restoration potion again and unequip and reequip your desired gear.

    Hope this will help.
