Greetings Wizards! Hope you enjoyed the video 🧙♂️ *FAQs* Q: Aren’t the Predator’s Grace boots the best in the game? 🧙♂️ You’re absolutely right! I must have overlooked them. The Predator’s Grace boots give you 100% Muffle, whereas, all other unique boots in the game offer just 50% Muffle or less. So, by wearing those boots with their 50% Muffle enchantment, you are not completely quiet, and enemies can still hear you! However, by wearing Predator’s Grace, all sound is completely eliminated, making them even better. Predator’s Grace also comes with 1% Stamina regeneration - do with that, what you will 🤷🏼♂️ The only downside of Predator’s Grace is its armor rating. But that’s nothing some materials and a workbench can’t handle, especially with a certain Restoration Loop 👀
I used to be a nurse for my grandmother and when that Dragonborn DLC came out she watched me play it, she even helped me solve the puzzles in some of the quests (she had played and beat every legend of Zelda game, so her brain was ready to think outside the box) and I remember when I got the deathbrand armor she suddenly wanted to play 😂 I miss my grandma and I love this game, thanks for the memory hahah
I'm sure your grandmother is looking down from heaven and probably frustrated as the rest of us are waiting on Elder Scrolls 6 to come out. You might be a grandparent by then?
I once used the boots of Azhidal to cross the lava in the aetherium forge... and it worked! You still get fire damage but with a high magic resistance, it's a piece of cake. And you can get to the hidden chest.
I did the same thing. Just used Histskin because I always play as an argonian. I have a hard time playing the quest now because I get sad when Katria disappears. It's always nice having Lydia and Katria in the dungeons with the falmer.
It's good until you start fighting mid-high lvl spell magic users that will break your spellbreaker, which will stun and leave you wide open for free attack 2-3sec taking more dmg than if you simply dodged or used blocking magic resist perk
Oblivion: I made a set of rings, necklace, and bracelets that make me 110% invisible allowing me to slap someone, talk to them, them slap them again without them ever knowing I am there.
For the gauntlets, I do think the Ancient Shrouded Gloves are underrated. Sure backstabs can be hard to execute, but if you have 100 in sneak and take the Assassin's Blade perk, you can have a sneak attack with a dagger do *x30* damage. And if you pop use Berserker rage, it can take the backstab damage up to *x60.* The Blade of Woe and Dragonbone Dagger both have a base damage of 12, so you can see where funny numbers can come from. The true comedy comes from the 100 sneak perk, shadow warrior, where if you crouch, enemies will lose aggro for a moment, and if you execute an attack in that brief moment, it counts as sneak, so you can go up to any enemy (though enemies with high perception might not work as well), aggressively T-bag until you get the basically one-shot. And getting 100 sneak is pretty easy too.
i dont think it sucks since enchanting is more endgame stuff, sure you can cheese it and powerlevel it quickly but that makes the whole game obselete instantly, you dont need to look for new eq, ect. so base items and uniques are still great
Here's my personal picks for each category. Clothes: Archmage's Robes. Hard to argue with this pick (though the Taven Clothes on female characters are a VERY close second, despite being unenchanted) Hands: Fists of Randagulf (CC). 20% more Melee Damage (a flat 20 to Unarmed) and 20% better block, these bad boys are Crazy Strong early on, and as a Khajiit (Unarmed Damage of 22) with Fists of Steel it brings your Unarmed Damage to an astonishing 57 (20+15 Base Armor)! The only weapon that comes anywhere close to that per hit damage is the Hammer of Stendarr which has a functional base damage of 50 (28 Base Damage, 22 from the Enchantment), but that has the downside of taking 20 points of your stamina every swing... and being a big slow warhammer. Feet: I'm gonna give it to Ahzidal's boots of Waterwalking. Even if I don't use them for anything other than Enchanting, the ability to walk on Water is still fun. Circlets: Aetherial Crown. It's not even close. Hoods: The Grey Cowl of Nocturnal (CC). You don't need to join the Guild to get this bad boy. Passive Detect live (with different colors to differentiate if NPCs are Neutral or Hostile!) and a boost to Carry weight and Sneaking! Granted it has the downside of turning all guards hostile, but there's a very simple solution for this; Just take the damn thing off before Fast Travelling to a City or Town. Helm: Say what you will, but the Masque of Clavicus Vile is the fit for me. Better Prices on a Headpiece without joining the guild, and as someone who almost always plays a Spell Sword, the 5% Magicka regen is a nice bonus. Masks: It's a Tie between Ahzidal, Zahkriisos, and Konahrik. Konahrik needs no introduction, but the other 2 act as a third rank of their respective Augment Element Perk, Fire Especially benefits from this (75% from both ranks of the perk and Helmet, and then an extra 15 Damage from Aspect of Terror after both ranks of Augment Flames and Intense Flames, though only spells get the 15 extra damage enchantments don't). Chest: I'm going to go with the Lord's Mail. Rather than a Poison aura (poison can be resisted), the Mail has a unique Drain HP effect that it casts on Enemies in Melee range (5HP a Second). It also gives 75% Poison resistance (almost the Resistance Cap, 85%) and a 17% Resistance to All Magic! And frankly, it looks better than the Ebony Mail IMO, It's certainly easier to find a good looking pair of Gauntlets and Boots to Match it. Neck: The Warlock's Mark is very useful for Conjurers (30% reduction), Virya's Charm makes you tankier (22 point bonus to both armor skills and the convenience of Waterbreathing), but I'll agree with the Galdur Amulet. Ring: By the Eight there's a lot of Rings, Especially after Fishing. The Ring of the Wind makes you move 15% faster. The Warlock's ring turns any shield (or blocking in General) into Spellbreaker by casting a ward AND makes your health regen faster. The Denstagmer's Ring pairs well with Otar for a combined 50% resistance to all 3 magic types. BUT I'm going to say that the Ring of Khajiit is OP because of how early you can get it. You move 10% faster which is Nice, but it lets you cast Hide at any level; an adept level spell that turns you invisible for 15 seconds (30 when dual cast). And here's the best part; it's base spell cost is 33 Magicka. Any Race can cast this spell 3 times with the base Magicka pool! And the quest isn't all that difficult either (Spirits away), all you do is fish up some Alcohol for Ri'Saad, granted it is a fair bit into Virya's fishing Quests.
the evil laugher when you stole the guars sweetroll was priceless! perfect way to get revenge on all the time the guards gives you this line: "Let me guess, somebody stole your sweetroll" now the guard will know our pain of stolen sweetrolls!
Ahzidal's Boots of Waterwalking are good if you're traveling from Mortal to Solitude and you have to go across the water. Especially if you are doing a Survival mode playthrough.
That's probably because the main quest in skyrim is genuinely horrible, it's okay the first time you do it but then its just trash, not at all close to morrowind or daggerfall.
Two really dumb things. First, my current character is lvl 68, completed the Dawnguard quest line, and got his first dragon soul on an island north of Skyrim. Second, buckets are overpowered.
Only 1 of mine has. By accident. I cheesed the fight because I forgot about the enchantment on Mehrunzes Razor. 6 hits into my grand boss fight and he starts dying and I'm like "wtf?? No, wait, what did I do? Am I really that strong?" Then looked at my inventory and realized. I felt so robbed.
Fun fact about the Ethereal Crown for you all, you can use it to get the maximum amount of XP boost possible in the game. Put the Lover's Stone effect on the crown, pick up any of the three guardian stones you want, then go to sleep while being married and with the crown unequipped, and put it back on again after. This gives you a 30% boost to all skills, and an additional 20% to the guardian stone skill you chose, reaching a whopping 50% extra XP.
Hiya TWW, newcomer to the channel. Love the vids, the humor, the detail, they all just scream high quality and it is astounding how much effort you put into each ad every video. I just wanted to say I love using Spellbreaker when paired with the Warlock's Ring as the Ward effect stacks, layering Spellbreaker's 50 point Ward with the rings 25 pointer.
I rarely see anyone talking about the Deathbrand armor(probably because it is busted). that it can surpass even Daedric Armor (un-smithed) with its full armor bonus as a light armor and it gives dual wielding a whopping %160 increase to damage when paired with all the damage perks in the one handed perk tree for dual wielding. AND its extremely easy to acquire also helps too. I do get that because it already comes pre-enchanted the Daedric armor can surpass it in customization but for being an armor that you get for just picking a couple locks is insane
Also for circlets, even thoughyou can only get it via the Unofficial Patch or console commands, the Falmer Crown. It's an armored circlet (technically a helmet but it looks like a circlet so I count it as a circlet).
My favorite mask is Ahzidal personally. It with the Ignite spell is just insane. Also great for enchantment melee builds as it also affects the damage of enchantments. Also great for Vamps of course as it negates the fire weakness.
@2:32, A Breton in that outfit would be unstoppable in a straight magefight. @4:29, By the time I found those boots, my alchemy skill was 80+, so my water walking potions were OP.
You're wrong on the boots. The best boots are "predator's grace", because the muffle enchantment on them is special. All of the other muffle enchants give 50% to the muffle effect, which makes you quiet... not silent. For total silence, you need to either get a second effect (muffle spell or ebony mail), or you get predator's grace with its 100% muffle effect. The extra stamina regen is just icing.
You’re right! Where armor isn’t concerned, the Predator’s Grace boots are indeed the best. You can always upgrade Predator’s Grace to outperform any boots with the Restoration loop too. Well spotted! I’ll add an update to my pinned comment
I agree on the Aetherium Crown, but due to a bug that allows you to have it's effect without having the crown on, I believe after using that bug, the Diadem of the Savant is the best circlet. Light armor rating that doesn't conflict with the Mage Armor perk. -5% cost to all spells, which stacks with the Arch Mage robes and the Mentor's Ring. (-30% in total)
How do you get all the standing stones at once? I'm not familiar with that exploit. I thought i knew all the exploits between mitten squad, spiffing brit, ymfah, and all the other greats
3 items that you kind of missed: the circlet the dendum of the savant (can't remember off the top of my head if it has an armor rating but I don't think so) and the sarthaul amulet both have similar enchantments as the archmage's robes just not as strong combine all 3 and you get a 23% reduction to all schools of magic and the shield turge of the blooded (I think that's its name) it has spikes on it that cause bleed damage when you bash with it and if I remember right it stacks (sorry can't remember their exact spellings and don't feel like putting Skyrim in to see them lol)
I gave my copy of skyrim to someone who has never played it, cause everyone should love this game as much as any who watch this channel. I miss my copy already and watching your videos gives a small piece of it back to me. Thanks wizard I truly appreciate it.
My brother-in-law he’s a young teen never heard of Skyrim until I introduced the game. Now it’s his favorite game lol 😂 and he’s already figured out the mods so he has a blast with the game.
Shrouded gauntlets/gloves are king imo. As they are the only items in the game that improve sneak attack damage (double), allowing you to essentially 1 shot most creatures in the game.
My favorite part of this series, is how unapologetically subjective they are, with game strength in mind, but no where near top priority, after all a 1 damage "steam" breathing affect, isn't great, but damn sure is it neat
I hope when ES6 comes out that it has spell crafting like from oblivion, or something like it. Also reworking the enchantment system to allow for more than 2 effects to be on a single item. Maybe costing extra souls or specific souls to do (black souls maybe?).
I kinda wish they would add in set bonuses for every armor so that way Iron and Leather early game can be used instead of getting early steel armor from Jarl Balgruuf, like how Zelda Totk did for it's weapons How about a video for best builds for the classic warrior, rogue, and mage?
The thing with muffle boots is you can actually get the best ones from merchants, or possibly loots, cause merchants can have muffle boots for sale on the light and heavy armor side
Did they ever patch the thing of pre-existing muffle enchantments being 50%, but player done ones are 100% always, so you'd always want to make your own?
@doctorcis3510 I've never seen any muffle enchantments I find being 50% or 100%, and there was no real difference when I used the boots from merchants or ones I made myself, so if that was an actual bug that existed then it should've been fixed now Edit: apparently it's still a thing according to the uesp wiki, so yeah player enchanted muffle is better
I watched most of this list before I realized that, with a half hour of cheese, I can make better equipment in pretty much every category. Maxed enchant for 2 per item, with a bit of enchantment/alchemy looping and you can easily make better versions of everything on the list outside of the very few with more than 2 enchantments or unique enchantments. Even without the loop, you can make equipment that is equal to most of what's on the list without to much difficulty.
For a daedric prince nobody really thinks about such as peryite, it is funny how he has one of the greatest daedric artifacts than most of the other daedric princes.
Personally? I prefer enchantment of Shrouded Gloves for #1 Gloves of Skyrim. DOUBLE. SNEAK. DAMAGE. With those suckers on, you can One-Tap Ancient Dragon. As for Ring, I love Ahzidal's Ring of Arcana. "Ignite" is such a broken spell as that Damage Over Time stacks, and it costs less mana than Fireball. So spam that and you reduce anything to cinders... (Love Mod allowing me to that glove enchant to any item... Such as my Daedric Mail Gauntlets, along Muffle... Hail Sithis.)
Sorry, but as someone who has to buy lockpicks because it's hard to pick higher level locks (expert and master) lockpicking enchantments are great. They just make the "open" area larger
You're telling me the Welsh Wizard, who undoubtedly has the Muffle spell and Illusion perk of Silent Spellcasting, both of which are very easily obtained even by non wizards, placed Muffle boots above all others?
What mod do you use for your robes? I’ve been trying to find some classic/arcane sorcerer robes and they’re all plain/boring/too Nordic. I want the moon and stars!
I once found INSANE dragon bone enhancted armor, all insulated too + health. I'm now at like 500 carry weight cap with 540 HP to pair lol. (Also, MAN I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!)
I wish more legendary items had unique enchants, cuz most of my games i wear OP items i can make via BS+ALCH+ENCH and those are usually so much better . few exceptions that are actually unique are luckily listed here ,like Ebony mail !
Do you have a modlist you use? I've been playing skyrim nolvus ascension but I feel like it's too many mods. All of your videos seem like it isn't over modded- and it still looks crisp + high fps/smooth gameplay
I found once dwarven boots with muffle enchantment. It happened only one time in 800h. Sad story i found it in one of few playthroughs where i wasn´t stealthy boy
With enchanting and smithing being as powerful and exploitable as they are, a lot of the items you mentioned become underpowered. Some of the items you mentioned are seemingly OP, but don't quite deliver the goods. And some items that are TRULY overpowered weren't even mentioned. Let's have a look at the items you mentioned, that have a unique enchantment. - Archmage's Robes - The enchantments are basically the same level as any Adept robes, and while you get 15% off on all spells, you need to ask yourself: "Are you really using spells from all schools?" I'll take Master Robes any day before the Archmage's Robes, and add some jewelery to get the boosts I want. - Aetherial Crown - Apart from one or two niche builds, this item is only good for one thing. Gaining XP! A circlet with any generic enchantment is better for everything else. - Visage of Mzund - So, after slaying allthose dragons and wading through draugr and bandits to unlock those shouts, along comes an item that completely blocks these shouts, and replace it with something so utterly useless, that it's not even funny. You're actually better off going bareheaded, as you have the ability to FusRoDah anything that tries to hit you on your precious head. Calling this item garbage doesn't even begin to describe it! And now for the item you didn't mention... Ahzidal's Ring of Arcana! A very inconspicuous enchantment at first glance: It adds two spells. Ignite and Freeze. The big one is Ignite. As many of us are well aware of, you can boost your fire spells when you're undead, by combining Augmented Flames, Necromage and Aspect of Terror. THAT'S OP!!!
It's honestly not that good. It's only 5% and that little of a cost reduction would be hard to notice. If only we could extract the enchantment, THEN it would be a good thing to snag.
You could combine it with archmage robes that would be 20% as archmage robes has 15% magic school reduction cost +50 to Magikca and magikca regeneration 100% faster
This is an odd request, but how do you make your character with the robes and preset? Am I wanting to become a master wizard myself on my next play-through?
why is your spellbreaker... inside out? rightside in? bent inward instead of outward XD? that sheild useually looks like a radio dish and seing it concave like a normal sheild is realy messing with my mind XD!. also how are you able to get it to tank the dragon breath attack? every time i got the thing and tryed that the ward would break.

Ahzidal's Boots of Waterwalking are good if you're traveling from Mortal to Solitude and you have to go across the water. Especially if you are doing a Survival mode playthrough.
Waterwalking is a godsend in survival mode. Swimming is borderline impossible.

For total silence, you need to either get a second effect (muffle spell or ebony mail), or you get predator's grace with its 100% muffle effect.
The extra stamina regen is just icing.
You’re right! Where armor isn’t concerned, the Predator’s Grace boots are indeed the best. You can always upgrade Predator’s Grace to outperform any boots with the Restoration loop too. Well spotted! I’ll add an update to my pinned comment
The ebony mail’s only issue is that the poison shroud can sometimes aggro friendly NPCs, especially if you give the armor to a follower
Great video but if we have to talk about OP i would like to point your attention at Reanu Keeves personal armor
He is a Tea drinking God, nobody can mess with him. Maybe Hodd Toward, but I doubt it
There's no point discussing Reanu Keeves' armor, because there's no possibility of taking it from him!
5:06 STICKY FINGAAAA!!!
its amazing that Bruno Bucchiarati is here
I agree on the Aetherium Crown, but due to a bug that allows you to have it's effect without having the crown on, I believe after using that bug, the Diadem of the Savant is the best circlet.
Light armor rating that doesn't conflict with the Mage Armor perk.
-5% cost to all spells, which stacks with the Arch Mage robes and the Mentor's Ring. (-30% in total)
Yo! Can you make a video about the mods you use?
I agree 100%
I’m not a massive modder tbh but I could start getting into it. Thumbs up the comment if you’d like to see some modding vids 👍
How do you get all the standing stones at once? I'm not familiar with that exploit. I thought i knew all the exploits between mitten squad, spiffing brit, ymfah, and all the other greats
3 items that you kind of missed:
the circlet the dendum of the savant (can't remember off the top of my head if it has an armor rating but I don't think so) and the sarthaul amulet both have similar enchantments as the archmage's robes just not as strong combine all 3 and you get a 23% reduction to all schools of magic
and the shield turge of the blooded (I think that's its name) it has spikes on it that cause bleed damage when you bash with it and if I remember right it stacks
(sorry can't remember their exact spellings and don't feel like putting Skyrim in to see them lol)
The blooded targe should be a notable honourable mention given it's immense combat potential with a single Veggie stew and levels in blocking
Yngol’s Helm is a def favorite for Heavy Armor warriors. The 50% frost resist is good but slap it on any Nord and complete frost immunity.
2:15 wait, from where the "reduce time betwen shout" come from??
You’ve helped me so much with this game lol. Got my follow. 💪🏼
This video is pure magic my fellow arcane welsh :)
After seeing wilburgur bug out and start shooting steam like a centurion, i really want a dwarven power armor that shoots steam out when you stam out
7:19 Why does that Dwemer metal look like it's made out of cheese?
Just wanted to say LOVE the new thumbnail, making me watch the video again 😂
There’s a new thumbnail?
I gave my copy of skyrim to someone who has never played it, cause everyone should love this game as much as any who watch this channel.
I miss my copy already and watching your videos gives a small piece of it back to me.
Thanks wizard I truly appreciate it.
That’s very kind of you. Though, I fear you may not get that copy back for some time 😅 really appreciate the kind words, fellow Wizard 🧙♂️
@@theWelshWizardthat's why I have 4 copies!
Thumbnail is badass
Hell yeah, another great video !
I can’t wait to use the prison glitch to wear all the armor you mentioned at once
Prison glitch?
Even at armor cap I am getting one shotted by my own Reikling Warrior who hits me about 10% of the time with friendly fire...
The quest for that necromancers amulet bugged for me so now it’s stuck in my inventory permanently as a quest item and it’s just “strange amulet”
Idk the spiked shield that deals bleed damage is kinda broken. Fun fact bleeding stacks infinitely
My man really forgot the Talos Amulet Lowering your Shout Cooldowns.
My brother-in-law he’s a young teen never heard of Skyrim until I introduced the game. Now it’s his favorite game lol 😂 and he’s already figured out the mods so he has a blast with the game.
At 0:53, which house is that?
Mirele Bismath Reborn :)
Shrouded gauntlets/gloves are king imo. As they are the only items in the game that improve sneak attack damage (double), allowing you to essentially 1 shot most creatures in the game.
Less goooo another banger from my fellow wizard
Forgot about Talos amulet
Worn shrouded cowl has a bug where its invisible and you and you can wear it with other helmets for double protection
You should cover some more stuff from Morrowind and oblivion bro! Would also watch that in a heartbeat
My favorite part of this series, is how unapologetically subjective they are, with game strength in mind, but no where near top priority, after all a 1 damage "steam" breathing affect, isn't great, but damn sure is it neat
Thumbnail goes hard 🫡
I hope when ES6 comes out that it has spell crafting like from oblivion, or something like it. Also reworking the enchantment system to allow for more than 2 effects to be on a single item. Maybe costing extra souls or specific souls to do (black souls maybe?).
I kinda wish they would add in set bonuses for every armor so that way Iron and Leather early game can be used instead of getting early steel armor from Jarl Balgruuf, like how Zelda Totk did for it's weapons
How about a video for best builds for the classic warrior, rogue, and mage?
The thing with muffle boots is you can actually get the best ones from merchants, or possibly loots, cause merchants can have muffle boots for sale on the light and heavy armor side
Did they ever patch the thing of pre-existing muffle enchantments being 50%, but player done ones are 100% always, so you'd always want to make your own?
@doctorcis3510 I've never seen any muffle enchantments I find being 50% or 100%, and there was no real difference when I used the boots from merchants or ones I made myself, so if that was an actual bug that existed then it should've been fixed now
Edit: apparently it's still a thing according to the uesp wiki, so yeah player enchanted muffle is better
Konahrik is also good when combined with Dragon Aspect Shout to Summon even more undead backup!
14:42 what is so special about silver kahjeet I am a returning player and forgot like everything.
Pls someone educate me on elder scrolls
Great video
I watched most of this list before I realized that, with a half hour of cheese, I can make better equipment in pretty much every category. Maxed enchant for 2 per item, with a bit of enchantment/alchemy looping and you can easily make better versions of everything on the list outside of the very few with more than 2 enchantments or unique enchantments. Even without the loop, you can make equipment that is equal to most of what's on the list without to much difficulty.
12:27 to be fair, Miraak never graduated on College of Winterhold 😅
I know. That’s part of the joke 💀
For a daedric prince nobody really thinks about such as peryite, it is funny how he has one of the greatest daedric artifacts than most of the other daedric princes.
Classic wizard, top quality as always
Much appreciated!
Personally? I prefer enchantment of Shrouded Gloves for #1 Gloves of Skyrim. DOUBLE. SNEAK. DAMAGE. With those suckers on, you can One-Tap Ancient Dragon.
As for Ring, I love Ahzidal's Ring of Arcana. "Ignite" is such a broken spell as that Damage Over Time stacks, and it costs less mana than Fireball. So spam that and you reduce anything to cinders...
(Love Mod allowing me to that glove enchant to any item... Such as my Daedric Mail Gauntlets, along Muffle... Hail Sithis.)
He straight up called me out for all of these on my current playthrough @ 2:14
Konahrik mask + Auriel's shield + dragonbone mace w/ chaos enchantment. Classic combo
Sorry, but as someone who has to buy lockpicks because it's hard to pick higher level locks (expert and master) lockpicking enchantments are great. They just make the "open" area larger
You're telling me the Welsh Wizard, who undoubtedly has the Muffle spell and Illusion perk of Silent Spellcasting, both of which are very easily obtained even by non wizards, placed Muffle boots above all others?
I always say it… I am unbiased, sir/madam🧙♂️
This guy is a good TH-camr
What mod are you using that makes health, magika look fancy when going down?
What mod do you use for your robes? I’ve been trying to find some classic/arcane sorcerer robes and they’re all plain/boring/too Nordic. I want the moon and stars!
Link in description 🧙♂️
With the Necromancers amulet, wear light armour and get the perk Wind Worker to negate the stamina regeneration and use restoration to heal yourself.
thanks 🥰 good info for a new save
1:20 I like cheese . (someone had to say it)
What's the mod that adds the health bars above enemies and the spell lock on?
ES6 armors hopefully are insane. On top of that, I hope we get followers with the same level of depth we see in BG3
I once found INSANE dragon bone enhancted armor, all insulated too + health. I'm now at like 500 carry weight cap with 540 HP to pair lol. (Also, MAN I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!)
I wish more legendary items had unique enchants, cuz most of my games i wear OP items i can make via BS+ALCH+ENCH and those are usually so much better . few exceptions that are actually unique are luckily listed here ,like Ebony mail !
The answer to all of these is always "something you crafted yourself using maxed enchantment and smithing boosted with Alchemy"
According to spiffing brit, the best armour is the one you enchanted after looping between enchanting rings and making potions for two hours
Do you have a modlist you use? I've been playing skyrim nolvus ascension but I feel like it's too many mods. All of your videos seem like it isn't over modded- and it still looks crisp + high fps/smooth gameplay
The arch mage robes would actually look pretty cool i think without the fur
ive never gotten the final dragon mask. ever. in 13 years bro. damn. thats so cool. I always just pick up Krosis and wear that.
If you use that steam attack on water would it boil the water like when you use a fire attack
I found once dwarven boots with muffle enchantment. It happened only one time in 800h. Sad story i found it in one of few playthroughs where i wasn´t stealthy boy
The gauntlets of eminent wielding boost one handed attacks 30%, more than the nightingale gloves
Or just use Enchanting on a set of Legendary Dragonscale or Dragonbone Armor and you can get all this and more, even leaving out restoration loop.
“Helmets to boots, amulets to rings…” I thought this mf was bout to rhyme on us
Hold onto your horses got me
With enchanting and smithing being as powerful and exploitable as they are, a lot of the items you mentioned become underpowered. Some of the items you mentioned are seemingly OP, but don't quite deliver the goods. And some items that are TRULY overpowered weren't even mentioned. Let's have a look at the items you mentioned, that have a unique enchantment.
- Archmage's Robes - The enchantments are basically the same level as any Adept robes, and while you get 15% off on all spells, you need to ask yourself: "Are you really using spells from all schools?" I'll take Master Robes any day before the Archmage's Robes, and add some jewelery to get the boosts I want.
- Aetherial Crown - Apart from one or two niche builds, this item is only good for one thing. Gaining XP! A circlet with any generic enchantment is better for everything else.
- Visage of Mzund - So, after slaying allthose dragons and wading through draugr and bandits to unlock those shouts, along comes an item that completely blocks these shouts, and replace it with something so utterly useless, that it's not even funny. You're actually better off going bareheaded, as you have the ability to FusRoDah anything that tries to hit you on your precious head. Calling this item garbage doesn't even begin to describe it!
And now for the item you didn't mention... Ahzidal's Ring of Arcana! A very inconspicuous enchantment at first glance: It adds two spells. Ignite and Freeze. The big one is Ignite. As many of us are well aware of, you can boost your fire spells when you're undead, by combining Augmented Flames, Necromage and Aspect of Terror. THAT'S OP!!!
For a mage I would recommend Diadem of the Savant for the circlet it's enchantment is Spells in all schools cost less Magicka to cast
It's honestly not that good. It's only 5% and that little of a cost reduction would be hard to notice. If only we could extract the enchantment, THEN it would be a good thing to snag.
You could combine it with archmage robes that would be 20% as archmage robes has 15% magic school reduction cost +50 to Magikca and magikca regeneration 100% faster
This is an odd request, but how do you make your character with the robes and preset? Am I wanting to become a master wizard myself on my next play-through?
You can find the link to my outfit mod in the description
why is your spellbreaker... inside out? rightside in? bent inward instead of outward XD? that sheild useually looks like a radio dish and seing it concave like a normal sheild is realy messing with my mind XD!. also how are you able to get it to tank the dragon breath attack? every time i got the thing and tryed that the ward would break.
I don’t even usually use things that enhance sneak, I can enhance that myself in game lol
I would say the spiked shield deserves runner up
