Amulet of Articulation

The Amulet of Articulation is an amulet given to the player by Brynjolf for becoming the new Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild in the quest, Under New Management. Its enchantment grants a bonus to Speech, which increases the chance of successfully persuading someone. It is also unusual in that it is one of very few amulets in the game to provide an armor bonus.

Notes

• Wearing the Amulet of Articulation allows the player to automatically succeed at all persuasion checks in the game regardless of skill.
• The amulet also increases speech skill by its listed "articulation" value, but because you pass all persuasion checks anyway, this only improves buying and selling prices.
• The description is misleading and uses entirely incorrect magnitudes.
• While it grants an armor bonus and benefits from Light Armor perks, it does not interfere with the Mage Armor perk.

Bugs

• There are seven different versions of the Amulet of Articulation that the player can receive (and an eighth version that is NPC-specific), each with a different strength enchantment. The intent was probably for the version received to be level-dependent, but instead it is random. All seven versions are equally likely at all levels. You can get the highest one by repeatedly loading a save and talking to Brynjolf, though it may take some time.
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.1 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
