Best stealth armor: Ring that gives you 1203912308% increased stealth, and 120391023% increased pickpocket, and a knife that was smithed to do 12039102% damage.
Pickpocket enchantments only work up to 50% for some reason and lower your chances if you have perks for it. But if you have ataxia which says it lowers it, raises it instead.
The Blade of Woe Is like mainly good for whenever you're looking for a cool looking like Warrior guy but I recommend using the Mehrunes' Razor if you're looking for a stealthy assassin
I personally hate the Ebony Mail for a stealthy melee character. When you go invisible or anything, and your enemy is still looking for you, if you are still close, which you probably are, the poison effects still persevere, alerting them to your position and constantly facing them right towards you.
I feel like muffle does essentially the same thing as ebony mail, and the damage from ebony mail is so situational considering you have to stay crouching while they're trying to attack you. Anyway, here's the best build imo if you enchant your own gear: Helmet: Waterbreathing, Archery Chest: Stamina, Stamina Regeneration Gauntlets: Archery, Sneak Boots: Muffle, Fortify Sneak Necklace: Archery, Sneak Ring: Archery, Sneak A personally favor archery over sneaking up to somebody because it's more entertaining, but that's just the opinion of someone who likes the Thieves Guild over the Dark Brotherhood. Everything with the Archery enchantment except the helmet can be replaced with the One Handed enchantment if that's what you prefer.
@@camasdfghjkI think you misunderstand. 😂 So *Armsman* does increase dagger damage. As does dark brotherhood gloves. Fortify one handed enchantments do not work on daggers (ciceros clothes won’t boost dagger damage) Also fortify one handed potions do not boost dagger damage either. (You can boost dagger damage with fortify archery though 🤷🏻♀️) it’s bugged and fortify archery potions boosts all damage, even unarmed 😂)
The Ebony Mail is horrible for this, you wouldn't be able to get close to someone you sneak up behind to backstab because they would be damaged and you are no longer hidden
La'roy Jnknz also it's heavy armour so it gets rid of all custom fit and full light armour perks ( which there are a lot of in the light armour perk tree )
+MnM VE But if you have the perk in he light armor skill tree then you can regenerate stamina 50% faster, and you can’t get that perk with heavy armor.
+xBeau Gaming SORTA???? ITS COMPLETELY ANNOYING WHEN USING BOWS, THAT WILL INACCURATE YOU, it has good enchantment, but, THAT BLACK SHAPE HAS TO BE AWAY, I HAD MISSIONS TO SNEAK, AND FORGOT OTHER ARMOR, I GOT CAUGHT JUST OF SHOOTING MISS CAUSE THAT BLACK SHAPE, THANKS ALOT SKYRIM
Why would I spend hours upon hours traveling to iron mines and blacksmiths and waiting for both to reset their iron inventories so I can do it all again multiple times to allow me to transmute all the iron to gold, just to make ring after ring after ring *hoping* that I'll get the Daedric/Dragon bone perks unlocked in one day, when instead I could spend a couple hours doing actual quests leveling my stealth up to the point where my sneak attacks do over 1200 damage per hit from sneak attacks. Congratulations you can blow through a room with maxed armor and no tactical thinking, try doing it with 38 armor and not bring seen or heard by a single person. Sneak is much easier to level up, and a stealth character is much more rewarding and fun to play as.
Why not have custom armor enchantments? I like the shrouded gloves, sure, but that's only because they have an enchantment you can't learn by disenchanting. For pure stealth builds, my gear is ... - Dual dragonbone daggers. One enchanted with absorb health & paralyze, the other enchanted with Fiery Soul Trap and shock damage. - Penitus Occulotus Helmet enchanted with +55% archery & waterbreathing - Circlet (which I can wear alongside the PO helmet), Dragonscale Armor and Ring enchanted with 34% Fortify Destruction and Conjuration, each (giving my weapons infinite charges). I get the magnitudes up that high - saving myself an enchanting slot in the process - by using potions that fortify my enchanting by 34%. - Necklace that provides +20 and +25% magic resistance. Combined with my breton racial ability & the Agent of Mara power, that maxes out my magic resistance. - Boots that muffle me by 100% and provide 55% boost to my sneaking. I'm unstoppable with that build!
I prefer to use The Nightengale armor instead of the Ebony Armor. It seemed that the poison damage actually makes the targets notice you because you do damage towards them. And enchanting illusion based skills mana output to less would come handy against a giant crowd.
Upgrading the weapons will do a lot more damage. My blade of woe does 80+ dmg, for example. If you sneak attack, you can one shot pretty much anything.
I like the stamina boost because I run everywhere and don't want to slow down. The longer I can sprint and the less time it takes for my stamina to recharge, the better.
Would also like to recommend the shrouded hood which gives you 35%increased with bows; as far as bows go however, I hear the black bow of fate is a pretty good choice as well
I love the Ebony Mail armor. I use it quite a bit. Since I have a huuuge bounty on me at Markarth, I pretty much have to sneak through bounties. So fun.
build called the corrupt merchant..race imperial or argonian..skills..speech,sneak,one hand,archery(or alchemy)...gear(intown or dealing with friendly npcs fine cloths with dbrotherhood gloves and boots with ancient cowl and shrouded hood(put hood on when sneaking or around enimies it also stacks with cowl if u r argonian) use dual daggers and shadow warrior u can spam it and attack to get sneak attacks even if u are detected. basically u use sppech so u can sell stolen goods to anyone and invest in stores. no main quest so u dont really need archery if no dragons. if u r argonian u must kill as many dunmer as u can esp in windhelm but dont get bounty. become thane of solitude,riften cuz they allow argonians or all if u choose imperial. become well known but ur criminal activities a secret dont fast travel n get a nord follower so ull be better percieved. do all the little quest and seek out unmarked locations.
actually the thing about daggers is that the one handed enchantment doesn't work on them so if you want more damage upgrade the blade because the enchantment won't do it
i know how to get the anceint shrouded set w/ out doing the dark brotherhood quests. you have to have the ritual stone power, then you go to redwood redoubt, wich is west of solitude. once inside hags den, wich you enter at the end of redwood redoubt, go to the end of the tomb. behind a throne there is a stone door only passable from the other side. you use the ritual stone power and quickly exit the tomb. your undead followers,(including the aincent dark brotherhood assasin) follow you outside. you then kill or pickpocket the armour of the assasin. ESO did a video on it heres the title Skyrim: The Best Armor in the game for Assassin at Level One (Ancient Shrouded armor)
4:25 Why use the invisibility spell if you got the ebony mail? And if you are truly making an assassin build it should do so little damage when sneaking.
One handed attack buffs do not affect daggers as daggers in skyrim are not counted as one handers... The only way to enhance the dagger damage is through the one handed skill tree. And sneak tree of course.
The problem with the nightingale bow is that is has higher than average chance to be discovered, I choose to forge ebony bow and dual enchant for same effect
The ancient shrouded boots do the same thing and it has a better armor rating, also the ebony mail has some major downsides when it comes to pickpocketing/using daggers and also it's not light armor which loses you the bonuses. I prefer guild master armor because it has such good armor rating and it has a load of carrying capacity (as a hoarder it really helps) I really wish the nightengale armor didn't have such mediocre armor rating and enchantments because it looks incredible
I think you’d change you mind on apparel if you knew how damage resistance was calculated. So nightgale armour set 69 armour 16 weight. Armours have hidden values (+ displayed values.) Armour = 40, boots = 20 ,gloves = 20, hat = 20, shield = 20, max total = 120 Armour, boots, gloves, hat = 100 total value. Everything is then multiplied by 0.12. So nightgale armour with no perks = (100 hidden value + 69 displayed value) x 0.12 for a total of 20% damage reduction. 😂 Personally as a stealth character use plain clothes. You can totally ignore the left side of the sneak tree as you’re silent in movement in clothing. You move faster too. Can ignore illusion magic muffle and quite casting. Alteration magic is great for paralysis spells and turning iron to silver and gold for money and smithing skill. If you really needed armour defence, flesh spells would offer the same amount of protection as an armoured set. 3 ranks in mage armour and stone flesh = 180 resistance or 21% damage reduction. Ebony flesh with 3 ranks of mage armour = 300 resistance. Or 36% damage reduction. Dragon hide = 667 resistance or 80% damage reduction (maximum possible resistance) To do that in armour you need 567 (cause of hidden armour value = 100 is making it 667 total) 547 if you wore armour and had a shield. Short story long, what i’m getting at is the values displayed on screen don’t mean much in grand scheme of things. You get 6% damage resistance for every 50 points of displayed armour rating.
As much as I love the look of this build, I probably wouldn't use it till I'm a higher level and move around some perk points, as much of a badass you'd look wearing it I would like some decent armour rating.
Guys i think Ancient Shrouded Boots and Nightingale Boots have same enchantment, but the Ancient Shrouded Boots have more armor points so you better use them. Sorry for my bad english :)
in my game the Ancient Shrouded Cowl is glitched and doesn't exist, yet it does.... I get the boost and the defence but it doesn't show up on my character and I can equip other helms, I use it and Krosis for my stealth character
+destincox its because of the snout, they come with a mask and the game has no idea what to do with it... same with the Worn Shrouded Cowl which you can enchant
Personally I think that the best bow is the Dragonbone bow with a chaos damage enchant. You can get a dragonbone bow in the soul carin when you kill those big guys. The one with the bow is the one where you have to teleport.
just gonna start this list of issues before i even finish: yes, the nightingale bow does 30 damage plus a decent amount of elemental damage, but the ebony bow, or even the glass bow i found DURING the theives guild quesline, does signifigantly more damage, even before you enchant and improve it. 2: ok, those gloves are nice, but only for stealth KILLS. the nightingale gloves are much more well rounded, as they improve all one handed attacks plus fortifying lockpicking. ebony mail is heavy armor. thats it :P
(not hating or trying to dick, just pointing things out. I'm a bad speller :P)Yes but, a glass bow will not spawn 100% of the time and for new player who aren't that high of a level the nightingale bow is grate, yes you can just level up smiting and enchanting then make a necklace,ring,helmet and some gloves that makes bows and one-handed attacks do 40% more damage each so thats 80% more then power level one-handed, archery and sneak and then put points into them to do more damage and craft a dragon bone bow that does 110 damage and also make some fortify smiting gear and make that bow legendary so it does 300 damage then give it fiery souls trap enactment and shock or frost what both do 45 more damage so all up you are doing 390 damage a shot plus the dragon bone arrows for plus 25 damage then you are doing 405 damage a shot plus a bit of burning damage and/or magika damage from shock and slowing and health lost from frost and you will being trapping there souls, and with the perk that make sneak attacks with bows do 3 times damage you would be doing 1215 damage plus fire and/or frost or shock and traping there souls so you take that and go to soulstine (can't spell it, the island from the dragon born DLC) and do the quest to get a enchantment that makes it so you have a 50% chance to do each of the elemental damages (fire, frost and shock) for 45 points each and you disenchant that and make a new bow and put that on it, now you have a bow that you know for sure will do 360 damage a shot and 1080 damage a shot but could do a massive 1485 damage plus fire damage times 2 and frost and shock what also traps there soul. So in other wise you could power level and spend 12 hours doing so to get everything where it needs to be to do that just do you can become super OP and get bored of it really fast...or you can spend 5 hours doing a few darkbrotherhood quests to get the gloves, a few thieves guild quests and one dadrick quest to get the armor :) also the gloves are the best for this build because this build is for a stealthy assassin build so you are only going to be doing stealth kills (:P) and the ebony mail is heavy armor but with the boots he has theres no down side to it, only that you can't get bonus for wearing all light armor and i guess that it makes you slower but if you put a few perks into heavy armor you can make it so it doesn't make you slow, also if you get detected and get into a fight its heavy armor so you can survive a little longer, and each time you get hit light and heavy armor will be going up what means twice the XP if light armor goes up so will heavy :)
You lose all your bonuses for all light armor and matched set bonus. These are huge for your armor rating especially late game. Plus the ebony mail poison damage is dumb for assassin because they start to take damage and are alerted to your presence before you get your sneak attack with the dagger. That's why you "screw up" so often. Use all ancient shrouded, not for the look because as said it's about not getting caught. late game wit all perks you can smash the armor cap of 567 also.
1:50 no you dont the moment you sprint in stealth you do a roll (if you have the perk) and if not you do nothing and the moment you do a heavy atack the sneak bonus is gone
this is a nice build but a vampire nightblade build with illusion and alteration are wayyy better or just illusion if u add muffle enchanting muffle + invisibility + sneak + onehanded= mega OP
He does know that the blade of woe isn't that good right just get a stahlrim dagger with a ice enchantment and use mehrunes razor in the other hand one for damage the other for the change of killing somebody with one hit.
I'm pretty new to skyrim so I have no clue what quest and stuff you're talking about.So please respond so you can help me.Lolz I got the nightingale stuff yesterday xD.And I have mehrunes razer
Hey the ancient shrouded gear is enchantable or another set just like it. Which for the gloves means the original enchant plus two more. Again i 'think' it was the ancient shrouded gear and maybe it was a lucky glitch on 360 legendary edition i haven't got that far with a new character yet to check it again.
Think i duplicated the gloves and put two enchants it was some glitch where the sneak or one hand dagger enchant only shows in active.....ok ill go figure it out again and let you know. Nice video guy i also carry nightingale armor and switch with ebony mail depends on situations which one i have on. That smoke gets annoying at times.
I'd suggest getting enchanting up I've got a character with about 83 and I can do 42% with stuff like one handed damage that's without any boost from a potion
I have been wanting to change my armor but if I take off ebony mail and still wear the nightingale boots does the ebony mail make a difference??? Or are they the same plz HEEELP
Personally I think mehrunes razor is better than the blade of woe, it does slightly less damage but has a uniqe enchant to have a small chance to install people, VERY useful if you screw up and get caught
Sounds like you need to try making a tranquil character. You play and don't kill anything, lots of illusion and completing the game with zero kills. Welcome to hell mode.
xBeau Gaming I also have over 1000 hours on Skyrim. Everything is boring, though I really want to get back into it but i do not know what build i should do :/ I am not going to be a pacifist though. I always used to be an assassin but now it is just way to easy, even on Legendary difficulty. So I tried out a PURE Mage (No armor, no weapons/not even bound weapons, only cloth armor and not many points put into health also NO GLITCHING AND EXPLOITING AT ALL.) so I think this will suffice for the time being.
This video should really be called Ultimate Unique Stealth Armor and Weapons because you can craft better gear yourself. Also for the Nightingale bow to be at its best stats you must acquire it at level 46 or higher which makes it kinda crappy since at level 46 you should have at least Daedric smithing learned..
I think this was made for no (GLitch) and *some people* don't like to Glitch the game and ruin it even tho this game is pretty old but at the time like some people in the comments are like do the enchanting glitch to get a billion stealth on this ring. Since he has the 3 main stealth quest armors on at once i think it is ultimate honestly. The Dark Brotherhood : Don't get caught when assassinating or else bounty, Nightingale : Do i seriously need to explain ? they are basically ninjas XD, Ebony : The quest she gave you was to kill everyone as stealth as you can. Ultimate stealth armor
Dude I had a build that was a khajiit vampire with this armor, 100 sneak, high pickpocketing, high one handed, high lockpicking and high illusion and two blades of woe... I shouldn't have deleted it
excluding boss battles just stealth kill most enemies with it. I've crouched right in front of people that are 15 feet away and they can't see me in a nicely lit room. I use full nightingale gear btw I just like the way it looks. My sneak is only 72/100 with only a level 3 boost which is 30% max is 40%
The nightingale Hood is actually kinda useless if ur not going nightblade, i would recommend the krosis mask instead! It increases archery, lockpicking and alchemy by 20%
I love ebony mail and I use it all the time but I can't stand trying to use a bow with the black poison mist coming off me. I can't fucking see my targets! >:0
I have the same one! The krosis one. Where do u get the ancient shrouded gear because I finished the db quests but dunno where it is in the dawn star sanc!
It's not in star sanctuary. You missed it. It's a questu get during the quest line that leads to killing the emperor. The dark elf assassin gives u a token and u use it to get your future read in white run. It leads to the quest for the shrouded armor
hahahaha i use exactly those thinks armor and stuff for my main its so awesome Edit: actually the nightingale hood is pretty useful i use invisibility in my left hand so i can sneek behind my enemy, kill it and turn invisible instantly
Best stealth armor: Ring that gives you 1203912308% increased stealth, and 120391023% increased pickpocket, and a knife that was smithed to do 12039102% damage.
A knife lol
lmao, nah.
Duh 🙄
Huh
Pickpocket enchantments only work up to 50% for some reason and lower your chances if you have perks for it. But if you have ataxia which says it lowers it, raises it instead.
Woe thats a cool blade
[slow clap]...
.......................................... noooooooo
Sony Plays I see what you did there. xD
*clap*... *clap*... *clap*...
RLLY DAWG?!
The Blade of Woe Is like mainly good for whenever you're looking for a cool looking like Warrior guy but I recommend using the Mehrunes' Razor if you're looking for a stealthy assassin
Finally, a build that actually looks like an assassin, most builds ive seen so far they have armors that makes you look like a tank.
I personally hate the Ebony Mail for a stealthy melee character. When you go invisible or anything, and your enemy is still looking for you, if you are still close, which you probably are, the poison effects still persevere, alerting them to your position and constantly facing them right towards you.
***** Not if you have conditioning or the steed stone and relevant perks in sneak.
Just don't
Yeah me too. I just use the Thieves Guild master's armor because it look good with the Nightingale mask
Good to know
My 9 year old comment wow
I feel like muffle does essentially the same thing as ebony mail, and the damage from ebony mail is so situational considering you have to stay crouching while they're trying to attack you. Anyway, here's the best build imo if you enchant your own gear:
Helmet: Waterbreathing, Archery
Chest: Stamina, Stamina Regeneration
Gauntlets: Archery, Sneak
Boots: Muffle, Fortify Sneak
Necklace: Archery, Sneak
Ring: Archery, Sneak
A personally favor archery over sneaking up to somebody because it's more entertaining, but that's just the opinion of someone who likes the Thieves Guild over the Dark Brotherhood. Everything with the Archery enchantment except the helmet can be replaced with the One Handed enchantment if that's what you prefer.
little known fact is that one handed enchantments affect every single one handed weapon except daggers
Wait really
yeah unless you use unofficial patch which make dagger affected by one handed enchantment.
No when i use the dagger it says "x30.0 damage for sneak attack!" If daggers werent affected it woukd say "x15.0 damage for sneak attack!"
@@camasdfghjkI think you misunderstand. 😂
So *Armsman* does increase dagger damage. As does dark brotherhood gloves.
Fortify one handed enchantments do not work on daggers (ciceros clothes won’t boost dagger damage)
Also fortify one handed potions do not boost dagger damage either.
(You can boost dagger damage with fortify archery though 🤷🏻♀️)
it’s bugged and fortify archery potions boosts all damage, even unarmed 😂)
The Ebony Mail is horrible for this, you wouldn't be able to get close to someone you sneak up behind to backstab because they would be damaged and you are no longer hidden
The quiet effect is also redundant because of the boots that make you completely silent
La'roy Jnknz also it's heavy armour so it gets rid of all custom fit and full light armour perks ( which there are a lot of in the light armour perk tree )
Ive never had that problem maybe you just need to get better at timing your sneak attacks.
Or maybe rely on yur skills instead of armor hmmmm get armor weightless perks hmmmm
+MnM VE But if you have the perk in he light armor skill tree then you can regenerate stamina 50% faster, and you can’t get that perk with heavy armor.
Ancient Shrouded Cowl is better for bow damage.
It can also be paired with Krosis
Double equip em, 55% bow extra dmg
Plus it looks badass
@@MixSonaProductions only for khajiits
The only reason I like ebony mail is not because it has a great enchantment,it's just cause it looks badass. :)
Its sorta annoying when you are in first person thou
GamingCoachX IKR!!!!!!!
Yeah but not with a glass helmet xD
+xBeau Gaming SORTA???? ITS COMPLETELY ANNOYING WHEN USING BOWS, THAT WILL INACCURATE YOU, it has good enchantment, but, THAT BLACK SHAPE HAS TO BE AWAY, I HAD MISSIONS TO SNEAK, AND FORGOT OTHER ARMOR, I GOT CAUGHT JUST OF SHOOTING MISS CAUSE THAT BLACK SHAPE, THANKS ALOT SKYRIM
+sten faille oh, and yes im angry about it. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the total look of all the armor pieces together.
I just started playing Skyrim again, and this is the armor set I used originally, and I’m back for it now. Thank you man.
Or you could use enchanting and smithing and get better everything
Finally someone who gets it
Why would I spend hours upon hours traveling to iron mines and blacksmiths and waiting for both to reset their iron inventories so I can do it all again multiple times to allow me to transmute all the iron to gold, just to make ring after ring after ring *hoping* that I'll get the Daedric/Dragon bone perks unlocked in one day, when instead I could spend a couple hours doing actual quests leveling my stealth up to the point where my sneak attacks do over 1200 damage per hit from sneak attacks. Congratulations you can blow through a room with maxed armor and no tactical thinking, try doing it with 38 armor and not bring seen or heard by a single person. Sneak is much easier to level up, and a stealth character is much more rewarding and fun to play as.
If you use the smithing exploit with iron daggers or gold rings, you could aswell use the save/load exploit to reset the inventory of the smiths....
NO YOU COLD NOT
@@14sonnenkrieg88 you dont
Just do the restoration potion loop
Easy as pie
Just a heads up, only skill points can be used to increase dagger damage, one handed damage enchants do not effect dagger damage.
Thanks for hte heads up, I was raging a bit figuring out what the hell I was doing wrong!
I know this is 8 month old, but the unofficial skyrim patch fixes that problem.
I've played about 500 hours of skyrim and I'd just figured that out last week hahah
Simeon Bell same
probably one of the best glitches in the game has to be the fortify restoration so you can create the most overpowered armor and weapons with it, lol
You could use ancient shrouded's hood for 35% more damage with bows
Why not have custom armor enchantments? I like the shrouded gloves, sure, but that's only because they have an enchantment you can't learn by disenchanting.
For pure stealth builds, my gear is ...
- Dual dragonbone daggers. One enchanted with absorb health & paralyze, the other enchanted with Fiery Soul Trap and shock damage.
- Penitus Occulotus Helmet enchanted with +55% archery & waterbreathing
- Circlet (which I can wear alongside the PO helmet), Dragonscale Armor and Ring enchanted with 34% Fortify Destruction and Conjuration, each (giving my weapons infinite charges). I get the magnitudes up that high - saving myself an enchanting slot in the process - by using potions that fortify my enchanting by 34%.
- Necklace that provides +20 and +25% magic resistance. Combined with my breton racial ability & the Agent of Mara power, that maxes out my magic resistance.
- Boots that muffle me by 100% and provide 55% boost to my sneaking.
I'm unstoppable with that build!
I like mehrunes dagger, coupled with valdrs lucky dagger you have a four percent chance of instant death.
I prefer to use The Nightengale armor instead of the Ebony Armor. It seemed that the poison damage actually makes the targets notice you because you do damage towards them. And enchanting illusion based skills mana output to less would come handy against a giant crowd.
I use illusion when I play stealth, helps a lot with invisibility and pacify so you can get the multiplier again
+Alec Kafoe Bingo!
I mean, this build is okay but it's far from the "ultimate" stealth armour.
I know right? Smack a Fortify Sneak enchantment on a ring, necklace, a helmet, and keep the DB gloves.
Way better than this, imo.
ULTIMATE FOR REASON B
Ciceros hat increases stealth by 35%
I think its the best hat for stealth
Yes, I use it when I need to and it really helps, but it looks kinda dumb
Upgrading the weapons will do a lot more damage. My blade of woe does 80+ dmg, for example. If you sneak attack, you can one shot pretty much anything.
I like the stamina boost because I run everywhere and don't want to slow down. The longer I can sprint and the less time it takes for my stamina to recharge, the better.
Would also like to recommend the shrouded hood which gives you 35%increased with bows; as far as bows go however, I hear the black bow of fate is a pretty good choice as well

I love the Ebony Mail armor. I use it quite a bit. Since I have a huuuge bounty on me at Markarth, I pretty much have to sneak through bounties. So fun.
I got it yesterday!
*Can't kill kids in Skyrim bud!*
You can still ragdoll them though.
William Morse Boooooooo we want death to children!!!! Lol
(Not really)
Adults can be killed well unessential ones... why not children EQUALITY
Justo T.Baggins there are mods...

I recommend krosis instead of the nightingale hood and using the fortify resto glitch to make a ring and a amulet with fortify sneak and lock picking.
actually the thing about daggers is that the one handed enchantment doesn't work on them so if you want more damage upgrade the blade because the enchantment won't do it
Dude awesome set. I’m making that whole set ASAP
Get that crossbow that shit does mad damage when you enchant a ring or necklace. X3 damage sneak attack .
I think this guys awesome he solved all the problems I've been having with finding the best stuff for night blade thanks
4:37
The guard found you and yet you still sneaking trying to assassinate him lol😂😂
due to a glitch the blade of woe is considered a “loud” weapon even while being a dagger so i would prefer other daggers
i know how to get the anceint shrouded set w/ out doing the dark brotherhood quests. you have to have the ritual stone power, then you go to redwood redoubt, wich is west of solitude. once inside hags den, wich you enter at the end of redwood redoubt, go to the end of the tomb. behind a throne there is a stone door only passable from the other side. you use the ritual stone power and quickly exit the tomb. your undead followers,(including the aincent dark brotherhood assasin) follow you outside. you then kill or pickpocket the armour of the assasin.

Yea, but to get the Dark brotherhood assasin you need to be a part of dark brotherhood.
4:25
Why use the invisibility spell if you got the ebony mail?
And if you are truly making an assassin build it should do so little damage when sneaking.
ebony mail is overkill
Overkill is Overkill. The band
The one handed enchantment does not affect daggers! Test it out
One handed attack buffs do not affect daggers as daggers in skyrim are not counted as one handers... The only way to enhance the dagger damage is through the one handed skill tree. And sneak tree of course.
Razor > Woe
The problem with the nightingale bow is that is has higher than average chance to be discovered, I choose to forge ebony bow and dual enchant for same effect
The ancient shrouded boots do the same thing and it has a better armor rating, also the ebony mail has some major downsides when it comes to pickpocketing/using daggers and also it's not light armor which loses you the bonuses. I prefer guild master armor because it has such good armor rating and it has a load of carrying capacity (as a hoarder it really helps)
I really wish the nightengale armor didn't have such mediocre armor rating and enchantments because it looks incredible
I think you’d change you mind on apparel if you knew how damage resistance was calculated.
So nightgale armour set
69 armour
16 weight.
Armours have hidden values (+ displayed values.)
Armour = 40, boots = 20 ,gloves = 20, hat = 20, shield = 20, max total = 120
Armour, boots, gloves, hat = 100 total value.
Everything is then multiplied by 0.12.
So nightgale armour with no perks = (100 hidden value + 69 displayed value) x 0.12 for a total of 20% damage reduction. 😂
Personally as a stealth character use plain clothes.
You can totally ignore the left side of the sneak tree as you’re silent in movement in clothing.
You move faster too.
Can ignore illusion magic muffle and quite casting.
Alteration magic is great for paralysis spells and turning iron to silver and gold for money and smithing skill.
If you really needed armour defence, flesh spells would offer the same amount of protection as an armoured set.
3 ranks in mage armour and stone flesh = 180 resistance or 21% damage reduction.
Ebony flesh with 3 ranks of mage armour = 300 resistance. Or 36% damage reduction.
Dragon hide = 667 resistance or 80% damage reduction (maximum possible resistance)
To do that in armour you need 567 (cause of hidden armour value = 100 is making it 667 total)
547 if you wore armour and had a shield.
Short story long, what i’m getting at is the values displayed on screen don’t mean much in grand scheme of things.
You get 6% damage resistance for every 50 points of displayed armour rating.
the ebony mail is good but extremely annoying for archers. when you sneak the poison smoke obscures my vision
That's why it's good that i prefer third person over first person :)
i use it 4 the extra zoom
As much as I love the look of this build, I probably wouldn't use it till I'm a higher level and move around some perk points, as much of a badass you'd look wearing it I would like some decent armour rating.
It looks stupid .-. Way too mismatched
god.. with mods i totally forget about the vanilla gear. I need to go back to this.
Guys i think Ancient Shrouded Boots and Nightingale Boots have same enchantment, but the Ancient Shrouded Boots have more armor points so you better use them. Sorry for my bad english :)
Poor soul believes that one handed damage buffs affect daggers
It does right?
@@matteotosin1044 when the comment was posted no, but after around 2 months an update came out and fixed it so the answer is yes
@@raymondirani6550 🦴
Btw, daggers are not affected by the Wielding enchantments...
Rule no1 of being a stealth player, use the bow whenever you can and always know where the enemies are at
I thought the different armor would make the build look bad but it actually looks good
in my game the Ancient Shrouded Cowl is glitched and doesn't exist, yet it does.... I get the boost and the defence but it doesn't show up on my character and I can equip other helms, I use it and Krosis for my stealth character
u must be khajiit n or it works with argonian i tried it with humans it didnt stack idk bout orcs
+destincox its because of the snout, they come with a mask and the game has no idea what to do with it... same with the Worn Shrouded Cowl which you can enchant
Yeah it doesnt work for beast races which is a jip because argonians are my favorite race
Yuki _ the Normal Shrouded Coal works if you want it for aesthetics
+Aaron Care Same that happened to me on my main lmao
You should do a series for finding and using the master spells
I really enjoy your videos, man.
All I really care about is the Shrouded Gauntlets. Then I just enchant whatever looks good with them with fortify sneak and muffle.
I usually don’t like mixing light and heavy armour because of the 25% bonus to your armour if you wear only that
Personally I think that the best bow is the Dragonbone bow with a chaos damage enchant. You can get a dragonbone bow in the soul carin when you kill those big guys. The one with the bow is the one where you have to teleport.
Of course you need the daw guard Dlc for that
Foxmaster Games Yeah, you need both Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLCs because you need to kill the guy at a tower. And you need to kill the Seekers
I thought boethias champion quest you had to be level 30 but hes 26
Probably mods or something
You can do 120x one handed sneak running damage too if you are an orc and active the ability
I agree with everything except the dagger the blade of woe is good but I prefer to use a Dragonbone dagger and putting on the chaos damage enchantment
Excellent combo
just gonna start this list of issues before i even finish: yes, the nightingale bow does 30 damage plus a decent amount of elemental damage, but the ebony bow, or even the glass bow i found DURING the theives guild quesline, does signifigantly more damage, even before you enchant and improve it. 2: ok, those gloves are nice, but only for stealth KILLS. the nightingale gloves are much more well rounded, as they improve all one handed attacks plus fortifying lockpicking. ebony mail is heavy armor. thats it :P
(not hating or trying to dick, just pointing things out. I'm a bad speller :P)Yes but, a glass bow will not spawn 100% of the time and for new player who aren't that high of a level the nightingale bow is grate, yes you can just level up smiting and enchanting then make a necklace,ring,helmet and some gloves that makes bows and one-handed attacks do 40% more damage each so thats 80% more then power level one-handed, archery and sneak and then put points into them to do more damage and craft a dragon bone bow that does 110 damage and also make some fortify smiting gear and make that bow legendary so it does 300 damage then give it fiery souls trap enactment and shock or frost what both do 45 more damage so all up you are doing 390 damage a shot plus the dragon bone arrows for plus 25 damage then you are doing 405 damage a shot plus a bit of burning damage and/or magika damage from shock and slowing and health lost from frost and you will being trapping there souls, and with the perk that make sneak attacks with bows do 3 times damage you would be doing 1215 damage plus fire and/or frost or shock and traping there souls so you take that and go to soulstine (can't spell it, the island from the dragon born DLC) and do the quest to get a enchantment that makes it so you have a 50% chance to do each of the elemental damages (fire, frost and shock) for 45 points each and you disenchant that and make a new bow and put that on it, now you have a bow that you know for sure will do 360 damage a shot and 1080 damage a shot but could do a massive 1485 damage plus fire damage times 2 and frost and shock what also traps there soul. So in other wise you could power level and spend 12 hours doing so to get everything where it needs to be to do that just do you can become super OP and get bored of it really fast...or you can spend 5 hours doing a few darkbrotherhood quests to get the gloves, a few thieves guild quests and one dadrick quest to get the armor :) also the gloves are the best for this build because this build is for a stealthy assassin build so you are only going to be doing stealth kills (:P) and the ebony mail is heavy armor but with the boots he has theres no down side to it, only that you can't get bonus for wearing all light armor and i guess that it makes you slower but if you put a few perks into heavy armor you can make it so it doesn't make you slow, also if you get detected and get into a fight its heavy armor so you can survive a little longer, and each time you get hit light and heavy armor will be going up what means twice the XP if light armor goes up so will heavy :)
your missing the point it's badass if you legendary it it's really good
FYI when I play stealthy I like to have a backup familiar if I get caught so I would recommend a couple points in conj so you can get a fire atranoch
+Eragon Silvr I use a bow as my main with daggers incase ;D
You lose all your bonuses for all light armor and matched set bonus. These are huge for your armor rating especially late game. Plus the ebony mail poison damage is dumb for assassin because they start to take damage and are alerted to your presence before you get your sneak attack with the dagger. That's why you "screw up" so often. Use all ancient shrouded, not for the look because as said it's about not getting caught. late game wit all perks you can smash the armor cap of 567 also.
people be sayin ancient shrouded hood is better.
but we can all agree the nightingale hood looks nore badass
I think the character looks cool he looks like an assassin
This will be great for my assassin build
1:50 no you dont the moment you sprint in stealth you do a roll (if you have the perk) and if not you do nothing and the moment you do a heavy atack the sneak bonus is gone
I mean 1:34
this is a nice build but a vampire nightblade build with illusion and alteration are wayyy better or just illusion if u add muffle enchanting muffle + invisibility + sneak + onehanded= mega OP
you can also use mehrunes razor as a very nice dagger as well for your nightblade/assassin/stealth character
Instead of the Nightingale hood I'd recommend the Krosis mask.
+Sparklez Guy Or just get costume gear like me :D
You don’t get the ancient shrouded set from completing the brotherhood quest.
Goodbye Lydia I'm getting that armor baby
Coach you definitely need to use this mod called 'Skyrim Redone'. And maybe make a review for us.
You need to add Mehunes Razor and the dual savagy perk to your Blade of Woe
He does know that the blade of woe isn't that good right just get a stahlrim dagger with a ice enchantment and use mehrunes razor in the other hand one for damage the other for the change of killing somebody with one hit.
I'm pretty new to skyrim so I have no clue what quest and stuff you're talking about.So please respond so you can help me.Lolz I got the nightingale stuff yesterday xD.And I have mehrunes razer
I prefer cicero gloves cause you can get people from corners and not just back.
cool but why not the ancient shrouded cowl? theres a glitch so you cound wear it and any other helmet
Hey the ancient shrouded gear is enchantable or another set just like it. Which for the gloves means the original enchant plus two more. Again i 'think' it was the ancient shrouded gear and maybe it was a lucky glitch on 360 legendary edition i haven't got that far with a new character yet to check it again.
Think i duplicated the gloves and put two enchants it was some glitch where the sneak or one hand dagger enchant only shows in active.....ok ill go figure it out again and let you know. Nice video guy i also carry nightingale armor and switch with ebony mail depends on situations which one i have on. That smoke gets annoying at times.
I kinda wish that the ebony mail was light armor. It makes sense because chain mail is light armor and it has the name ebony MAIL. Just saying
I'd suggest getting enchanting up I've got a character with about 83 and I can do 42% with stuff like one handed damage that's without any boost from a potion
I have been wanting to change my armor but if I take off ebony mail and still wear the nightingale boots does the ebony mail make a difference??? Or are they the same plz HEEELP
Personally I think mehrunes razor is better than the blade of woe, it does slightly less damage but has a uniqe enchant to have a small chance to install people, VERY useful if you screw up and get caught
Ancient shrouded boots are way better than Nightingale.
What kinda character build would you suggest to someone that has played skyrim +400 hours?
Sounds like you need to try making a tranquil character. You play and don't kill anything, lots of illusion and completing the game with zero kills. Welcome to hell mode.
GamingCoachX I think i could try this. :D
Hope i dont make suicide!
BTW do you mean that i should kill dragons how? :D
xBeau Gaming i logged in 1k++ hours and this isnt that good
but its a great guide for begginers dude :))
xBeau Gaming I also have over 1000 hours on Skyrim. Everything is boring, though I really want to get back into it but i do not know what build i should do :/ I am not going to be a pacifist though. I always used to be an assassin but now it is just way to easy, even on Legendary difficulty. So I tried out a PURE Mage (No armor, no weapons/not even bound weapons, only cloth armor and not many points put into health also NO GLITCHING AND EXPLOITING AT ALL.) so I think this will suffice for the time being.
The name for his character is awesome.. Sneaky Pants McMeowMeow
This video should really be called Ultimate Unique Stealth Armor and Weapons because you can craft better gear yourself. Also for the Nightingale bow to be at its best stats you must acquire it at level 46 or higher which makes it kinda crappy since at level 46 you should have at least Daedric smithing learned..
I has at level deadric smithing @ lvl 30
Boethiah's Calling
i just use mehrunes razor and good ole shadow warrior perk and im unstoppable
just add a blade of woe in your left hand and you're a true man of culture
I think this was made for no (GLitch) and *some people* don't like to Glitch the game and ruin it even tho this game is pretty old but at the time like some people in the comments are like do the enchanting glitch to get a billion stealth on this ring. Since he has the 3 main stealth quest armors on at once i think it is ultimate honestly. The Dark Brotherhood : Don't get caught when assassinating or else bounty, Nightingale : Do i seriously need to explain ? they are basically ninjas XD, Ebony : The quest she gave you was to kill everyone as stealth as you can. Ultimate stealth armor
i reccomend krosis for mask, or the final mask because u cant die
Dude I had a build that was a khajiit vampire with this armor, 100 sneak, high pickpocketing, high one handed, high lockpicking and high illusion and two blades of woe... I shouldn't have deleted it
For everyone saying the best dagger is mehrunes razed no it's not the blade of woe is but I mehrunes razed looks more badass
I think the Mehruns dagger is the best dagge in the game
Imo that blade of woe and dragon bone are best
Only if you are lucky.
And against enemies that are immune to it (Mirrak and Karstaag) you're fucked if you try to use that.
+Friedrich Auditore I feel like facing Karstaag with daggers in general would be a pain.
callmeEshai I've only been able to beat him with daggers on Legendary when I was dual wielding Daedric daggers enchanted with fire
excluding boss battles just stealth kill most enemies with it. I've crouched right in front of people that are 15 feet away and they can't see me in a nicely lit room. I use full nightingale gear btw I just like the way it looks. My sneak is only 72/100 with only a level 3 boost which is 30% max is 40%
The nightingale Hood is actually kinda useless if ur not going nightblade, i would recommend the krosis mask instead! It increases archery, lockpicking and alchemy by 20%
But it's so pretty ;-;
Ikr! It's so sad because to me it's one of the coolest loo.king hoods in the game, but it's stats suck
Nope, i tried with several different hoods, but you can't wear dragon priest masks with any of them :(
You could use the blackguard hood, but ikr nightingale hood is sick. I wish we could disenchant it
Oscar Abdat i also like nightingale gloves
I love ebony mail and I use it all the time but I can't stand trying to use a bow with the black poison mist coming off me. I can't fucking see my targets! >:0
I use the same build, except I have the dragon mask that grants me 20% bonus for archery, sneak, and lock picking
I have the same one! The krosis one. Where do u get the ancient shrouded gear because I finished the db quests but dunno where it is in the dawn star sanc!
It's not in star sanctuary. You missed it. It's a questu get during the quest line that leads to killing the emperor. The dark elf assassin gives u a token and u use it to get your future read in white run. It leads to the quest for the shrouded armor
hahahaha i use exactly those thinks armor and stuff for my main its so awesome
Edit: actually the nightingale hood is pretty useful i use invisibility in my left hand so i can sneek behind my enemy, kill it and turn invisible instantly
What a twist!
