The silver armor has to be the coolest of them all. While I appreciate the alternatives to existing armor classes, seeing all new armor is exciting. We are kinda lacking in unique armor classes outside of faction gear.
You're making it complicated. Do the quest. Break the sets down to acquire the enchantments. Enchant whatever armor you want as many times as you want with smithing.
During the Masser Ring mission I had the craziest turn of events. Out of nowhere, a frost troll shows up, then another, then another, and followed up with a random vampire who came in as an invisible attacker for no apparent reason. I thought it was legit part of the encounter because the ring was so good.
I think the reason that the dwarven plate doesn't have gauntlets or a helmet is to go with the helmet from forgotten seasons and the wraithguard gauntlets. Also Skyrim couriers are fearless to make a delivery while the person is being attacked by a LITERAL DRAGON
It might also be because in Elder Scrolls Blades there's no normal dwarven armor, so the dwarven plate just re-uses the same helmet and gauntlets from Skyrim.
In my recent playthrough I grabbed the Visage of Mzund from the Dwarven Ruin on Solstheim and Sunder/Wraithguard, which were added in the anniversary edition as well. Both of those have Daedric-level armor ratings and with the ancient knowledge boost to Dwarven Armor, the set works great for endgame gear. I also used Spellbreaker until I advanced far enough in the college to get Keening and dual wield it with Sunder.
@@fuzzycatfur2008 if the theory about Skyrim being in the far future of fallout is true, then does that mean the courier from new Vegas is the ancestor of all the chad couriers in Skyrim? It’d explain the pure chaotic energy radiating from them.

I was assaulted by a bandit chief in full dragon plate armor at level 27... I haven't "activated" the dragons yet, so I've no clue where he got the bones from. I also find it quite funny, that you can start the quest for the deadric armor at level one, while the ebony quest is level locked.
It is level locked now. A month or two ago, I started a new Skyrim playthrough, and had the ebony plate creation (it was free for the week). I got it really early (around lvl 5), but the quest glitched, so it never registered me getting the armor. Tyra's corpse is still waiting for me to go get it, even though said armor has been chilling in my armory for ages.
Just goes to show that some of the creation club content has better polishing and pieces than others where is just slaps in the content no matter what level you are.
Before you could do all creation club at your own discretion, now some of it is more balanced and more balanced when you can get it. It still is pretty pay to win.
Personally I feel like the variant armors should have a greater warmth rating than the originals given that they usually have more covering to them or are a furred variant. Like the iron armor in vanilla Skyrim has no sleeves, but the iron plate has a thick padded shirt with long sleeves under the iron armor.
I dont like how nearly every "light" variant looks to be heavier and more protective than the original or heavy variants, the dwarven and deadric are perfect examples
Time Stamps For Me: 0:55 - One Handed Early Game Heavy 2:40 - Stealth Bow Early Game Light 15:30 - One Handed Late Game Heavy 21:20 - Unenchanted Late Game Light 23:02 - Two Handed Late Game Heavy
A little addendum to the "Bones for a Crow" quest: You can go directly to Arcwind as soon as you get the quest and snag the armor. The Forsworn won't be there, only the Draugr. Effectively you can get the quest from the inn keeper in Riverwood as soon as you start the game, then go directly to Arcwind point and have Dragonbone Armor at level 1! I have tested this, it works. Granted you wont get the enchanted loot from the Forsworn and Alvasor, but it's forsworn and Falmer gear... several tiers below Dragonbone.
the dwarven sets are honestly my favorite visually. Dwarven plate works very well with sunder and wraithguard while also running the helm of Nchuak. The dwarven crown from forgotten seasons, or rather those masks in general, also work.
Decided to do a good ol Nord build doing Heavy Armor, 1 Hand and Block. While doing the intro mission to join the storm cloaks at like lvl 25 I found a full set of Insulated Dragonplate armor on a bandit chief I killed. Was a hard fight but I've been a tank the rest of this playthrough!
literally took me 20 minutes to find this video, but three of the words in the title matched my search terms.. leaving a comment and a like for the algorithm.
Haha. I’ve been watching you for awhile... Your guides are always entertaining and they help out a lot! Just wanted to say thanks for sticking with us and helping us all of these years!
I love playing as an archer, and have used the ranger set early game, though I haven't yet done the quest for the enchanted set. I'll be doing that early game now. The heavy armors are great for my tank followers, usually Lyida. Despite how functional they are, Dwemer and Dragon Armor look awful on Lydia, so I rarely use those heavy armor styles for her. This last playthrough I've had Lydia and Sofia, and they play well together, and are like twin wrecking balls. Sofia likes light armor too, so we often wear the same or similar armor I craft for her with suitable enchantments.
I like that they're using locations that didn't have quests previously. I always wondered what was up with Reachwind Eyrie as I'd never discovered or heard about any quests in the special edition. I wonder if I can convince my sister to get the anniversary edition...
I did a play through for all the cc content, and I just gotta say it’s really good for melee type characters. Insane amount of heavy armor and one handed and two weapons and hardly any bows and light armor. Pretty much the only spells added are conjuration summons and 1 destruction spell that has a bunch up upgrades.
The only thing that's a little disappointing is the Ring of Masser, Tyrant's Bane, Namira's Itch, Dragonbone Mail and Dismal Gaze didn't have unique models. Just like the Thane Weapons =/. Still I do like their inclusion in this armour-focused DLC.
@@meinebosma I'm looking at the Dragon Insulated Armour and the Dragonbone Mail side by side and cannot spot the difference excluding the enchantments.
The enchantments on the armors from the quests is randomized and related to your level. It’s best to knock one out early cause you’re more likely to get the rare muffle enchantment which only spawns frequently at low levels. The enchantments are determined when the quest is started, so make sure to make a hard save before starting it until you get the enchantment you want.
I am playing an heavy armored Mage with shield (most spells are sommoning until now, but I am still Lv. 19 so far) and I think the Ebony Plate looks just beautiful
There needs to be a patch to stop the better armors from spawning on bandits at lower levels. I was coming across chiefs with full dragon armor at like level 25.
At first I felt like that but you are the Dragonborn! The fact that some people have better armor than me just adds to the chaos that is the elder scrolls
Probably but man I tried to rush through this quest and died 12 times just trying to get there on adept difficulty at lvl 12 also when I got to the tower you had to get through to get to the quest I died like 25 times and leveled up 3 times and I still don't have it so yah I guess it's easy for some higher lvl players that don't want to grind smithing
@@xxvii9598 it doesn't though is the funny thing also what i been doing is getting the legion and storm cloak champion armor at like level 1 to level 4 XD

Just wanted to give you a friendly reminder: I was able to start the quest for Stalhrim Fur and get the armor before doing the Dragonborn Questline and the Stalhrim Quest.
Didn’t even know about this was an addition on the ps4! Started playing again once my mate got into it after years of saying he hated Skyrim! He’s a chef and it’s usually me asking him advice but for once he was messaging me. I knew the addiction had settled in once I started getting messages at 3 in the morning asking how to get his smithing up quick and wether or not it was a good idea to do the rebellion before or after and then had a whole debate with him one evening about who was better in the rebellion. He now thinks it’s better than Witcher which was his favourite game and so, feeling inspired. I loaded up a Ranger play through I had started, I play a couple characters out of Helgen and decide what their traits are while escaping so when I load it up I know what play style I wanted to do if I get bored of another character. Once I got to a forge to make some gear up I was instantly taken by the scout armour, boots and gloves are a bit clunky so paired them with the leather boots and hide brawler gloves and love the result. This excitement around the game created by all of this is the kind of stuff I remember Skyrim being about when it first launched as well as the dlc’s! It has become a meme about the games history with rereleases but with all the updates and mod content available now I’m actually gealous of my friend and what he gets to experience playing it for the first time😂
Chiliad Garbology, another job well done. I like the look of this vid a lot btw, AND it will come in handy when I get my head out of M.E. and play this again.
While i was up near that dungeon during the mythic dawn quest, i happened upon that insulated dragonplate armor at that tower without doing any of the other stuff. If i recall correctly, I'm not sure that i was able to get the enchanted stuff off the enemies though
I haven't really had the chance to explore these yet, but I will tell you my favorite loadout that I've created for Skyrim SE: it consists of the black mage hooded scarf in the Leather category (for armor stats) + mask (this and an unarmored version of the hood can be found in the miscellaneous category) included in the black mage armor mod, which is available through the in-game mod list (possibly Vortex too, haven't checked), the full vampire armor set specifically the black variant (enchantments and vampire race change are optional, don't change with the hood equipped it will most likely screw up your hair and make you permanently bald), the antique silver sword and nordic scrimshaw bow from immersive weapons (Vortex only mod) and the Thalmor seeker arrows (I don't remember which mod those were from sorry).
Honestly I play with them all. BUT I think my favorite thing is I completed by Crimson Dirk book collection as well. I just wish there was a glass alternate armor. Oh well thanks for all the wonderful help
Nice video, you sir got a thumbs up! My favorite armor of the whole lot is the Stahlrim Fur armor, after that the Dragonbone Mail (particularly the one from the quest with full resistance to fire), and finally just for how cool it looks the Silver Armor. They should have made versions for Dragonbone Mail, Stahlrim Fur and Silver brawler gauntlets, if only for how badass they'd look!
You should do bittercup's quests next. It has 3 vastly different quests with 3 vastly different rewards depending on which of the 3 choices you choose. Interestingly enough the new ridiculously overpowered nord mage follower is named Rulnik Wind-Strider(Who has a level cap of 75 much higher than anyone from the vanilla game!) maybe he is a relative of Bjormund from the insulated dragon plate armor quest?
I used ebony plate at first but now mainly silver armor. This is mainly due to creating a paladin style character and silver armor fits that motif best
I could definitely see my Orc Dual Wielder using that Ebony Set. The enchantments, fashion, & base stats would probably serve me well for most of my playthrough, if not all of it if I felt like it. It does fall a bit short when compared to higher tier armor with custom enchantments in the end game once Alchemy, Smithing, & Enchanting are maxed, but few armor sets will be able to beat this before you get there.
I like the silver the best. I wish there was a silver shield, but I use other ones that sort of match, like banded iron shield, the dawnguard rune shield, or the shield of ysgramor. And I love matching those with the silver swords, too
I'm planning a vampire hunter with the silver armour and duel weald silver swords and silver crossbow what race would you recommend, I'm got a strong feeling with a wood elf or redguard
I stumbled onto Bones For A Crow by accident. I was on a totally separate quest which brought me in sight line of the tower. I thought that it was part of my ongoing quest so I dropped a pair of summons from a distance, started sniping and as I dropped down to onto the balcony to continue sniping it announced "Completed: Bones For A Crow" 😂 I only discovered, right now, in this video, where that quest even came from. I had run around all over the place trying to find it's start point.
I was mostly excited for dwarven light armour but the legs, hands and helmet look way to heavy themed still. Ended up going back to heavy and using the spellknight armours (also anniversary). They look and act amazingly well.. plus the name itself is reminiscent of the elder scrolls vibe.
The Daedric alt armours are amazing --- but I'm partial to daedric armours in general. What is ironic though, is that the new light daedric armour looks heavier than the new heavy daedric.
I was late to the Skyrim party, seeing as I was given a copy for my birthday last year, but it easily one of my favorite games of ALL TIME! I purchased the Anniversary upgrade a couple of weeks ago, and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. I apologize to the entire fanbase for my gross negligence. LOL. As far as favorite new armor, while I can't go with my Ebony Mail, I like to put on the Daedric Plate for the very specific purpose of going to rescue my wife Lydia when she gets kidnapped. I task Serana with staying at home and keeping watch over the children as I grab Torment off the wall and proceed to deliver the harshest punishment possible to those who have decided in was a good idea to disrupt my family life.
The Dragonbone Mail isn't even technically unique, it actually has a slightly different model than the normal Insulated Dragon Plate armor, with the Dragonbone Mail having that dragon skull, which the normal armor doesn't have. Just a little interesting thing I don't think a lot of people notice!
I personally love the silver, iron, and steel armor, but a shame that there aren't any new silver weapons and that the silver sword/greatsword can't be tempered Also, I see that some have seen bandits with deadric and dragon armor, but I have yet to see any with such and I so hope they have the armor and weapons, just to make it like oblivion again
70 here and a AD&D tabletop DM since the seventies. Still make iron butt rides of more than 2000 km straight on my steel horse, but have been playing unreasonable amounts of Skyrim, Fallout, Warhammer and Cyberpunk with the bug around. :-)
Cause you asked about the armor and character that we use, here's mine a Bosmer called Fiona Blackroot, she wears the elven hunter set completed with normal elven armor piece. She's a stealthy archer and thief who has just discovered the dark brotherhood.
I've been watching you for almost two years now you're amazing I love your videos especially you new vegas playthroughs I learned so much, thank you you're amazing
For the Daedric mail armor for the matching set perk removal you must install Ordinator-Perks of Skyrim mod.Than it makes sense the set!Also i just found two armor sets what isnt in this video.The crusaders heavy and light armor and the enchanted ebony spellknight armor.Crusader got no story,but the Spellknight got story starting in Markarth in one of the rooms on the table is a notes.Knights of the crypt.
I wish they just gave you quest markers like they did when creation club first came out a lot of the quests are hard to find and there are so many of them you almost forget they added em
year old I know but here's a fun fact, the dwarven "light armor" is the heaviest light armor in the game even out waking some of the armors prior to dwarven armor.
You also have to complete the quests to make the armor start spawning naturally in the world and added to lootpools, so you’ll see NPCs wearing them too.
I've not done the iron quest, yet those parts frequently come up in loot pools I also got hold of the leather armour early, again with having not done the quest Same with silver, orcish plate, so on and so on
I think the coolest is Daedric Mail. I play a dark elf, vampire, unholy paladin. With a death hound thrall. Or Skeleton. Depending how i feel. Using 2 handed swords. And only buffing spells (for armor) or conjuring spell for pets and heals. Instead of spells, i use arcane arrows. With the bound bow. I wish there was a dark equivalent to the consecrated ground. That fear the liv8ng and heals the undead. Would be even better. But i love my anti-paladin/dark knight set up.
I bought the daedric plate armor mission from the creation store thing and after I completed it, my plate armor got taken away randomly but kept the normal daedric armor, as well as having different enchantments on it from the enchantments in the video
a List of unique enchantments (you can't recreate these yourself without console commands) -Iron Plate Helmet 25% blocking -Spell knight 1 Helmet 22% mag res -Spell knight 1 gauntlets 25% restoration -Spell knight 2 Chestpiece 40% One handed -Spell knight 2 gauntlets 25% Destruction -Daedric plate Helmet 50 health -ring of masser Illusion spells cost 30% less to cast. Increases your Stamina by 20 points. Sneaking is 20% better. -Dragonbone Mail chestpiece 100% fire resistance (get bent dunmer) -Dragonplate Insulated helmet 50 health -Ebony plate helmet +20 heavy armor skill -steel soldier chestplate 15% magic resist -steel soldier helmet 40% fire resist -boots of blinding speed -Orcish plate Chestpiece 25% block -Orcish plate helmet +17 heavy armor -Dismal Visage Conjuration spells cost 25% less to cast.

I haven't really had the chance to explore these yet, but I will tell you my favorite loadout that I've created for Skyrim SE: it consists of the black mage hooded scarf in the Leather category (for armor stats) + mask (this and an unarmored version of the hood can be found in the miscellaneous category) included in the black mage armor mod, which is available through the in-game mod list (possibly Vortex too, haven't checked), the full vampire armor set specifically the black variant (enchantments and vampire race change are optional, don't change with the hood equipped it will most likely screw up your hair and make you permanently bald), the antique silver sword and nordic scrimshaw bow from immersive weapons (Vortex only mod) and the Thalmor seeker arrows (I don't remember which mod those were from sorry).
I could see the silver armor set being used for a crusader type character, especially if you accompany it with a silver sword or greatsword.
I always found it weird that there was silver weapons but no silver armor. I'm happy that it now exists.
Try the light of day mace from the Ghost of the Tribunal.
@@johnlinville8671 I have the og version of skyrim and am kind of tired of it after being off and on it since I've gotten it.
@@jaye8708 ok?
Honestly I play with them all. BUT I think my favorite thing is I completed by Crimson Dirk book collection as well. I just wish there was a glass alternate armor. Oh well thanks for all the wonderful help
Nice video, you sir got a thumbs up! My favorite armor of the whole lot is the Stahlrim Fur armor, after that the Dragonbone Mail (particularly the one from the quest with full resistance to fire), and finally just for how cool it looks the Silver Armor. They should have made versions for Dragonbone Mail, Stahlrim Fur and Silver brawler gauntlets, if only for how badass they'd look!
You should do bittercup's quests next. It has 3 vastly different quests with 3 vastly different rewards depending on which of the 3 choices you choose. Interestingly enough the new ridiculously overpowered nord mage follower is named Rulnik Wind-Strider(Who has a level cap of 75 much higher than anyone from the vanilla game!) maybe he is a relative of Bjormund from the insulated dragon plate armor quest?
I used ebony plate at first but now mainly silver armor. This is mainly due to creating a paladin style character and silver armor fits that motif best
Yeah, and since the silver armor had robes and a mage hood it perfectly captures the battlemage or spellsword aesthetic.
I could definitely see my Orc Dual Wielder using that Ebony Set. The enchantments, fashion, & base stats would probably serve me well for most of my playthrough, if not all of it if I felt like it. It does fall a bit short when compared to higher tier armor with custom enchantments in the end game once Alchemy, Smithing, & Enchanting are maxed, but few armor sets will be able to beat this before you get there.
To quote Pokemon, I'm goning to collect them all!!! I'm a armor NUT I love getting armor and making new gear! Love it. Thank you
I like the silver the best. I wish there was a silver shield, but I use other ones that sort of match, like banded iron shield, the dawnguard rune shield, or the shield of ysgramor. And I love matching those with the silver swords, too
I'm planning a vampire hunter with the silver armour and duel weald silver swords and silver crossbow what race would you recommend, I'm got a strong feeling with a wood elf or redguard
@@james739123i know I'm a year late but probably red gaurd
This guys deserves more subs and views 👍
Mr. white? What are you doing here?
@@Vaedh doing your mom…
I stumbled onto Bones For A Crow by accident. I was on a totally separate quest which brought me in sight line of the tower. I thought that it was part of my ongoing quest so I dropped a pair of summons from a distance, started sniping and as I dropped down to onto the balcony to continue sniping it announced "Completed: Bones For A Crow" 😂 I only discovered, right now, in this video, where that quest even came from. I had run around all over the place trying to find it's start point.
The spell knight armor is cool.
The Orchish plate mail is super awesome!!!!
I was mostly excited for dwarven light armour but the legs, hands and helmet look way to heavy themed still.
Ended up going back to heavy and using the spellknight armours (also anniversary).
They look and act amazingly well.. plus the name itself is reminiscent of the elder scrolls vibe.
From what I have seen in terms of style and benefits, the Ebony Plate armor will be my go to armor set.
God I fell in love with the silver armor for my holy monk character. Never going for anything different
Thank god I found this vid, there were few missions I was missing, and I was getting mad. God job bro, deserved like.
11:16 good one man I have watched this like 6 times and haven't noticed that before
The leather scout with hide brawling gauntlets, mad witcher vibes lol
The Daedric alt armours are amazing --- but I'm partial to daedric armours in general. What is ironic though, is that the new light daedric armour looks heavier than the new heavy daedric.
Damn these actually look great! And i really like that they give unenchanted versions. Great video!
Loved that bit where he opened the door to the Bannered Mare and a dude’s face popped through.
I'm a Silver Armor boi. I went out of my way to get that one early because it looks like a cross between Goblin Slayer and Oscar of Astora.
Been less than a day and I'm already using this video
On the way to crowstooth there will be a dragon regardless of if they’ve been activated from the main quest
This video is awesome and extremely helpful
I was late to the Skyrim party, seeing as I was given a copy for my birthday last year, but it easily one of my favorite games of ALL TIME! I purchased the Anniversary upgrade a couple of weeks ago, and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. I apologize to the entire fanbase for my gross negligence. LOL.
As far as favorite new armor, while I can't go with my Ebony Mail, I like to put on the Daedric Plate for the very specific purpose of going to rescue my wife Lydia when she gets kidnapped. I task Serana with staying at home and keeping watch over the children as I grab Torment off the wall and proceed to deliver the harshest punishment possible to those who have decided in was a good idea to disrupt my family life.
The Dragonbone Mail isn't even technically unique, it actually has a slightly different model than the normal Insulated Dragon Plate armor, with the Dragonbone Mail having that dragon skull, which the normal armor doesn't have. Just a little interesting thing I don't think a lot of people notice!
Neat!
The Dragonbone Mail is an artifact, also known as the Dragonbone cuirass in Morrowind.
which armor set was your favorite and why silver?
11:15 that was one of the most unexpected funniest things that I've seen in your videos
I personally love the silver, iron, and steel armor, but a shame that there aren't any new silver weapons and that the silver sword/greatsword can't be tempered
Also, I see that some have seen bandits with deadric and dragon armor, but I have yet to see any with such and I so hope they have the armor and weapons, just to make it like oblivion again
I wish the Silver Hand wore the Silver Armour
I love the silver armor I just feel like a knight with that armor
11:15 there are few things more hilarious and horrifying than a man phasing through a door like that
With the two new houses Myrwatch and Hendrahrim, your amors make it easy to out all the DUMMIES, Thanks, also I'm 73 yrs old following UUUU???
I'm 61. High fives for the old guys! I started gaming before most of these other people were born. I wish you many more years of gaming fun.
70 here and a AD&D tabletop DM since the seventies. Still make iron butt rides of more than 2000 km straight on my steel horse, but have been playing unreasonable amounts of Skyrim, Fallout, Warhammer and Cyberpunk with the bug around. :-)
Cause you asked about the armor and character that we use, here's mine a Bosmer called Fiona Blackroot, she wears the elven hunter set completed with normal elven armor piece. She's a stealthy archer and thief who has just discovered the dark brotherhood.
I've been watching you for almost two years now you're amazing I love your videos especially you new vegas playthroughs I learned so much, thank you you're amazing
For the Daedric mail armor for the matching set perk removal you must install Ordinator-Perks of Skyrim mod.Than it makes sense the set!Also i just found two armor sets what isnt in this video.The crusaders heavy and light armor and the enchanted ebony spellknight armor.Crusader got no story,but the Spellknight got story starting in Markarth in one of the rooms on the table is a notes.Knights of the crypt.
Will you be making a video on the Artifacts in the free Fishing creation?
Possibly! Have you been looking at my notes by chance?
@@CaedoGenesis Sorry, can't say. Trade secrets. Love your content, been watching since the Fallout 3 guides
I remember stuming across the Dwarven Plate armor without starting any quest. It seems the set is there regardless
I wish they just gave you quest markers like they did when creation club first came out a lot of the quests are hard to find and there are so many of them you almost forget they added em
I really was feeling the story behind the silver armor. Really felt for her.
silver armor was first featured in a mobile/Nintendo switch exclusive game called elder scrolls blades!
year old I know but here's a fun fact, the dwarven "light armor" is the heaviest light armor in the game even out waking some of the armors prior to dwarven armor.
DAMN THE STEEL SOLDIER HELMET IS THE SAME WORN BY ROYAL SWORDSMAN IN DARK SOULS 2
Definitely gonna make a black iron tarkus outfit with the iron armour
You also have to complete the quests to make the armor start spawning naturally in the world and added to lootpools, so you’ll see NPCs wearing them too.
I've not done the iron quest, yet those parts frequently come up in loot pools
I also got hold of the leather armour early, again with having not done the quest
Same with silver, orcish plate, so on and so on
Dwarven plate with sunder , wraithgaurd, the dwarven crown (with any mask) , and spell breaker, I am skyrim's iorn man lol
Spell breaker! Best shield in game.
I think the coolest is Daedric Mail. I play a dark elf, vampire, unholy paladin. With a death hound thrall. Or Skeleton. Depending how i feel. Using 2 handed swords. And only buffing spells (for armor) or conjuring spell for pets and heals. Instead of spells, i use arcane arrows. With the bound bow. I wish there was a dark equivalent to the consecrated ground. That fear the liv8ng and heals the undead. Would be even better. But i love my anti-paladin/dark knight set up.
I bought the daedric plate armor mission from the creation store thing and after I completed it, my plate armor got taken away randomly but kept the normal daedric armor, as well as having different enchantments on it from the enchantments in the video
Thanks for the great Video, it helped me so much.
I can feel ANOTHER play through coming...
Thanks so much for this guide
