It is fun but it gets boring one-shotting enemies after like a few hours so I go create a new character to try out another build. However, any new character I create just turns into another stealth archer. It's a never ending cycle.
It's wildly entertaining and I'm really not sure why. I try and do other things and I then end up drifting right back to the bow because it provides f***ing results!
I can't believe that you're still making these videos, and with the same level of love and care as all of the ones that came before it. Fevvy, you're a legend.
it's so funny to see it pop up in my recommended. also funny because like, this is just the basic stealth archer that basically everyone will eventually build once they figure out the game.

A little tip if you get arrested in Riften you can break out take out around 500-ish gold and then reverse pickpocket it onto Sibbi Black-Briar and so long as you don't leave the jail you can continue to pickpocket him, and even if you get caught he won't turn hostile and you will still be able to pickpocket him.

Late update for those who complains the part 5 doesn't work as intended (fortify of enchantment potion & alchemy enchantment can't reach to that high level after 4-5 loops). You may integrate your build in the midway and skipped the importance part: being a vampired necromage. You need to be an vampire (biten by the vampired AND wait for 3-4 days to be fully transformed to a vampire), THEN take the Restoration peak called Necromage. This combination will bring extra 25% enchantment bonus (hidden perk, doesn't show on Actived Effect screen). It also bugged me for an hour to figure out what's wrong. Hope it help.
@@itsmintanono, if you become a Vampire Necromage, NEVER revert it. It gives you 100s of buffs, literally. But you'll lose them if you cure the vampirism.
You've outdone yourself this time Fevvy, this video was amazing, the music, the beautiful edits, the build itself, *chefs kiss* this may be your finest work yet, much love
You telling me that you did 30 minute video of Skyrim which is overloaded with memes, incredibly detailed, broken, 200IQ gameplay/guide? Shut up and take my love and attention. Subscribed instantly, amazing work!
Never played skyrim before, watched the 3rd video about skyrim(yours) got to the part about anniversary content, paused the video, purchased it then kept watching :))
I've recently started playing Skyrim again and of course, my go-to build was sneak archer. I would recommend immersive weapons mod to everyone, adds lots of good looking new bows and arrows.
One of the most powerful tools in the archers arsenal is the Crossbow. Completing the first few Dawnguard quests gives you the ability to smith Bolts and Creation Club has two add-ons for crossbow. I use the Daedric Crossbow with steel bolts as soon as I can steal one from the Fletcher in Solitude, while the Nordic Crossbow can be purchased and is an excellent weapon as well. Dawnguard is an excellent source of Steel Bolts as well.
They sound loud as hell ingame so I've always imagined them as a high octane combat marksman type thing while bows are more for long range or sneak. Kinda like you'd use a shotgun for taking on grouped up enemies or an ordinary AR platform rifle in 5.56 for reaching out to medium range and hitting enemies in regular combat scenarios, but not for a special operations mission that requires a suppressed firearm that's as quiet as possible and limits collateral damage as much as possible. For that you'd use subsonic ammunition fired from a suppressed pistol or rifle, or if you wanted to get close and personal, a good old knife to the throat.
To save time on the enchanting/book cycle you can just make x1 restoration potion with the first set of alchemy gear and do just x1 resto loop to make the final enchant/smithing set. Saves alot of time and is essentially the same thing the books doing.
@Ryan Trott tru did it once and immediately regretted it. The reset vendor is not cheating I’d say. It’s just saving time in which not doing it and waiting a day each time you get whatever you need is just annoying. For the power leveling. I’d say that it’s the same though I wouldn’t do it too much. Once you reach around 60 is when you should just level up by the other skill trees. Makes it more enjoyable.
No way that loop is intended. Or auto leveling alteration with fast travel and then spamming that to get to any level you want. The game is full of glitches and exploits, you basically have to intentionally play around them in order to avoid them.
@@mrkiky nope, the loop is not. In previous games restoration also had to do with fortification magic, and when coding skyrim, they forgot it no longer did, and someone still put it in the code, but without anything else this causes it to fortify all non school magic, like potions and enchants. Basically, in older games fortify restoration also fortified all non school magic.
Another Skyrim playthrough here we come. I actually very rarely play any form of archer, whether that be combat or stealth. As per usual, looking forward to watching this one 👌
Quick Tip with leveling stealth: if you grab an iron dagger in Helgen and sneak attack ralof before you fight the bear you can easily get sneak leveled to 70-80
However if you do this, any of the times where you buy levels ex: faendal and archery will now be really difficult to grind because it takes more work per level
I did this but seem to be getting no where further along in the video with trying to learn smithing/archery I think I came out of the cave at around lvl 16ish lol
I just want to take a moment to appreciate your name. Lore friendly, build friendly, and cool without being too edgy. Much better than naming my character Dovahkiin for the 16th time
I have loved every single video of yours that I've watched so far, but after watching so many of them you have made it very hard for me to just.. play Skyrim without immediately going and doing the crafting loop, I just recently started a new battlemage character that I had planned on just chilling out and enjoying the game and the challenge with... 6 hours later I suddenly have 3000 of each stat, maxed crafting, and a sword that does 45000 damage... went and one shot Karstaag on legendary and then decided that it probably wasn't the character for what I had wanted to do lmao,
For anyone starting a stealth build with the cat, you can just grab a dagger from one the imperial in Helgan and just stan ralof in the back over and over till you get sneak 100, it probably won't work at first but if take off all Armour and go back to the corridor where you walked he should forget you're there
yeah but now buying levels with faendal and the blacksmith in riften is now harder to get because you need more exp than you would otherwise- making the graybeards the better option in this case.
8 months later, but I did thorough testing on this and you can put your first perk point into sneak and you'll always be able to sneak attack Ralof. It takes 10-12 minutes to get to 100 from 15 if you put your first perk into sneak then second into the 3x dmg from one handed weapons. I timed it 8 times back to back and took the time spread for this range. The average was closer to 10.5 minutes.
Im playing with ordinator i have sneak 100 but everyone see me easily. According to the ordinator's perks, i have to sneak again after being noticed, but that doesn't work either. I wonder i will be sneak if i wear dark brotherhood armor?
You can hit Ralof with a dagger and level stealth endlessly. Increasing stealth to 100 takes ~10 min Alteration can be pumped up to 100 in 10 minutes by standing at the gates of Solitude and shooting Magelight at the top of the mountain
You may consider using Arcadia in white run as a means to level both alchemy and pickpocket in the future. Train alchemy and then steal the gold back, maybe keep muffle on you to get you to level up and buy more training. Also the inn is right there for the well rested bonus
@@Fevvy Also there is a dark elf in Windhelm that has a speech book and also teaches speech and is also a merchant. So you can train with him and then get your money back selling him your potions. I don't remember if you have to do his quest first, but it's really simple, you just have to plant a ring into a Windhelm house.
What can also be useful for a stealth build is the Steed Stone with Heavy Armor and eventually it can be replaced with the Conditioning perk for the Heavy Armor skill. It will allow you to use any heavy armor without any added carry weight, which means that you will be as stealthy as someone in their birthday suit. The heavier the apparel if any, the more noise will be generated and the slower you will be... but in this case you will have no weight, so these penalties will be null. Additionally, having such good armor ratings and speed will allow you to perform well in a variety of non-stealth situations such as melee combat and magery... not that I bother with Mage Armor much less Wards... so I don't worry about any perks that dictate to you that you _must_ wear only clothing.
Haven't watched the video yet and I've already liked it. The easiest, cheese-iest build for the win! I also really liked the master crafting video, which I've used in my latest playthrough. Love how your videos are short and easy to follow! 😎
@@Fevvy Holy bujeezus, this is incredible! Far and away the best editing in your videos yet. I never knew the circlet-falmer helm was a thing! Also what a great way get those ridiculously strong enchanting potions post-USSEPatch. Is that the limit you got to before the game would crash?
A little tip, in the Aniversary Edition you can do the same exploit of level up Alteration but with Destruction, using the spell "unbound freeze" (or some shit like that). Just keep using it and then fast travel to someplace far. Beware tho, it damages nearby people. You can easily find this spell in the Hob's Fall Cave (also some shit like that, I'm bad with names), near Azura's Shrine. This cave actually has all the new Destruction spells (I guess?) from AE in the very same chest.
@@sleekismboyz605 not because most of the stuff (such as the bow of Shadows, the spells this guy is mentioning, the farm, etc) are from creation club, and from the ones that didnt got free on SE. You can still do a normal stealth Archer build like you did before anniversary released, however. Only changes the amount of times you need to rest for crops, since other houses have WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY less space to plant them, and the weapons that arent present. Captains boots (footwear you can enchant with chest enchantments) are also not in SE, but you could murder the entire raven rock population for dummer shoes which do the same (or one person and dupe them. 100 pickpocket works too). The bow used at the end of this build has the same base damage as a daedric one, only the appearence and enchantments are unique (Draw 20% faster and cast invisibility the moment you start drawing the bow).
Not Just the destruction spells. Hob's contains all the spells added by the arcane accesories creation. Which, yeah, most are destruction, but the others are also pretty cool. From summoning a level 30 bear and also gaining 50% frost resist and regenerating health 50% faster all in one spell, to a paralisis rune, to 15 sec of invisibility, water breathing and night vision (at base, then affected by perks in its duration), passing through "hey, want a completely silent spell, for 5 seconds of invisibility and auto opening every non master lock?" Best part? While vendors sell you the spells based on your level in that school of magic, the chest with all the spells is always there no matter the level
@@sleekismboyz605 you can do both tbh, i believe most of the important mods that AE broke have already been fixed. I personally think its worth. Its a ton of content for Just 20 bucks if you already have SE, since you can buy theh upgrade for that price instead of the whole game again. You could also Just do mods and wait until it is on sale, that can work too. I like it, albeit i never really got into modding, so i cant help much in that decision. But if you got no better use for 19.99 € in the foreseerable future, go ahead.
Super vidéo comme d'habitude, super montage. Je poste rarement des commentaires mais tu mérites clairement que je prenne un peu de temps pour le faire. Même des français te suivent ! Prends soin de toi ! 🥰
Great video, as much as I'm just starting to play skyrim, and I don't understand most things, I really enjoyed it! I'm going to finish the game my way and then try to make these builds.
I wanna see your take on an artificer build, especially now with all the new, crazy staves you can get *super* early in the game. I made one who wore heavy armor, had a shield, and carried like 20 staves for all sorts of things. He was only like level 7, but I had access to paralysis, expert level summons, and of course some solid damage options. I envisioned him as a magical spearman, but he ended up just being a magical artillery piece.
I loved this build, I actually used it to practice for the dreadlord build 😅 Great build, took about I’d say 15ish hours but raining hell on your enemies is well worth it. Only thing was I was a bit curious why we had to contract vampirism instead of just joining Clan Volkihar
Hey sorry I'm late to the party, someone else wrote this about Vampirism: Late update for those who complains the part 5 doesn't work as intended (fortify of enchantment potion & alchemy enchantment can't reach to that high level after 4-5 loops).

@@dogeshibe5780and you get way more buffs than you think, Vampire Necromage is literally soooo OP. It buffs multiple perks, all enchantments and potions and so much more.
High-tier stealth builds in Skyrim are like that "I’ve mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still that I become invisible to the eye" scene from Infinity War but completely unironic.
Is anybody else having issues harvesting their creep cluster? I'm playing Skyrim AE on the Nintendo Switch. I planted all 12 but no matter the angle I can't harvest them. EDIT: Creep cluster has a VERY buggy hitbox and you'll need to crouch and aim a fair bit above the plant to harvest it. Be aware it will take hours in game to harvest them until you get used to it.
me, playing skyrim for the first time on release day: "OH wow, I bet a stealth archer build is gonna be so strong"......me 10 years later: "OH wow, I bet a stealth archer build is gonna be so strong"
Hey Fevvy, love the video! You probably know this, but some of your viewers might not. If you go the necromage route, you can easily buff the effect by 25% using the undead dog pet added in the Aniversery Edition.
FEVVYYYY, nice to see you again haven’t watched the bud yet but I can tell it’s gonna the best so far, everyone loves stealth archers, and everyone loves you, welcome back from your break hope everything’s well and hope you had a good time recording this ❤️
@@Fevvy always fun to play your builds too, keep it up you’re amazing and have grown so much, would you mind if I added you on Xbox and you can tell me how you record sometime ?
i know im very late to this, so ill be short and sweet, I reccomend completeing the quest "A farmers life for me" as you can get thousands of gold just by exsisting. I love your content so much though, ive been subbed since like your "early" builds.
As much as the community says this is a classic I have never been a stealth archer I mostly go for warrior build I ALWAYS end up a two handed heavy tank so I started recently adding stealth into my play throughs made the experience so fun (also one handed weapons and blocking etc) As of recently I really wanted to see what the fuss was about for this classic can’t wait to use this build as I have no idea about archery tips though I will most likely add a bit of warrior in as that’s just how I play Loved the video!
Hi fevvy! I’ve been a fan of your videos for a long time now. Could you consider doing a pickaxe build? I always thought that a pickaxe build would be funny. Thanks!
How long does leveling the 3 smithing skills + creating an op armor with fortify enchanting takes you? It took me 2 days for 12 hours of playtime in total cuz I messed up some of the steps. It's pretty draining tbh... Props to you for having the strength to go through it on every video
big thanks to you! im new to skyrim and saw this video so helpful, i paused it, slowed it, and learned it! got 20 hours in game time and still reach the midgear build (not that strong from your video coz idk bout this game at first and how to reset the merchant, but still reach double enchantment etc). Of course im not playing the main quest yet (or any quest). Anyway, THANKS A LOT! LOT LOTLOT!
such a good guide so much effort put into it and it shows and we really aprriciate it! the build took me 4 days to make but im super happy with it and you have tought me stuff i didnt even know you could do. this is also my first time doing alchamy and inchanting even though i have been playing since 2015. likked and subed
With the falmers helmet you can use a circlet, which leads to thinking that an snow elf helmet should allows the use of a circlet as well. It would be an awesome helmet as well...
To be fair, this is the first build i ever did on Skyrim. I dungeon "crawled" my way through the game until you get the roll feature. I love the sweetspot where you can still be found. Once you get too stealthy, enemies won't see you right under their nose and it becomes too easy to be entertaining.
I'm gonna be real, ever since I discovered Teldryn in your videos, I have never wanted to "not" use him as a follower, although he does get a bit buggy sometimes like getting stuck in places with walking back and forth, or always getting stuck in a blocking stance, but other than some buggy glitches, he's a great follower.
This build made me realize how much was actually added to Skyrim. I kjnda wish Anniversary Edition would come to the switch the same way Special Edition did.
You can get sneak 100 pretty easily in the intro. Just sneak with a dagger (+ no armour) and stab your friend in the back on legendary difficulty repeatedly. Takes like 5 minutes.
The best part was the accidental sucker punch on the alchemist into the immediate plus frame re-load previous save. We're still learning new in-game tech
Hello fevy a tip for power leveling sneak it’s a bit cheesy but it works so you just go I. Sneak at the bear part and keep sneak attacking Ralof till 100 just like the grey beard method
Incredible work from you I'm in 3 hours with 0,25x playback speed video step by step watching your moves so i can try it , and it's pretty hard and take some long time for us , so thanks for your hard work putting it for us piece by piece 🎩🙏🏻
If you take the key away from the imperial legionnaire before ralof can scavenge it you can avoid the gate being opened, and looting the two daggers, you can crouch behind ralof and hit him infinity for levels on sneak
Great vid as always ! I think you should add a precision tho, the vampire/necromage combo is not retroactive, meaning you HAVE to get vampire/necromage as your very first perk for it to work on the other perks or permanent buffs like Agent of Mara or standing stones. Not that it really matters on a broken build like stealth archer tho ^^
stealth archer is honestly so fun. Even though it always gets memed on. There's a reason everyone uses it
Not wrong my friend, good to see you here
@@Fevvy good to see you too! How have you been?
i dont like playing stealth in any games but i tried it on skyrim because everyone says its good and i have to say i had the most fun in skyrim

Never knew you can actually harvest the scaley pholia mushrooms, I always thought they could only be found or bought, only grown through hearthfire
They are a pain to find. Most broken white trees don't have them.
No mods & Legendary.... excellent build . Skyrim= The never ending story . If it's in your head , build it . Good vid , thanks 👍👍
I never do these their just so fun to watch and whenever I quit playing Skyrim for a bit these always make me go back and play
You can hit Ralof with a dagger and level stealth endlessly. Increasing stealth to 100 takes ~10 min
Alteration can be pumped up to 100 in 10 minutes by standing at the gates of Solitude and shooting Magelight at the top of the mountain

Already one minute into this video and I love it already, the editing is hilarious!
Hope you enjoy it all!
You may consider using Arcadia in white run as a means to level both alchemy and pickpocket in the future. Train alchemy and then steal the gold back, maybe keep muffle on you to get you to level up and buy more training. Also the inn is right there for the well rested bonus
Sweet, thanks for the tip
@@Fevvy Also there is a dark elf in Windhelm that has a speech book and also teaches speech and is also a merchant. So you can train with him and then get your money back selling him your potions.
I don't remember if you have to do his quest first, but it's really simple, you just have to plant a ring into a Windhelm house.
Honestly mate I’m at uni and life is tough, but your vids keep me thinking of the good days . Hope you keep making my day 👍
Just started playing for the first time and I am glad I stumbled upon your channel. I now have Lucia as my daughter, thank you ❤
What can also be useful for a stealth build is the Steed Stone with Heavy Armor and eventually it can be replaced with the Conditioning perk for the Heavy Armor skill. It will allow you to use any heavy armor without any added carry weight, which means that you will be as stealthy as someone in their birthday suit. The heavier the apparel if any, the more noise will be generated and the slower you will be... but in this case you will have no weight, so these penalties will be null.
Additionally, having such good armor ratings and speed will allow you to perform well in a variety of non-stealth situations such as melee combat and magery... not that I bother with Mage Armor much less Wards... so I don't worry about any perks that dictate to you that you _must_ wear only clothing.
As always, another awesome build! Please do more Elden Ring! Thank you for doing these builds for us!
Haven't watched the video yet and I've already liked it. The easiest, cheese-iest build for the win! I also really liked the master crafting video, which I've used in my latest playthrough. Love how your videos are short and easy to follow! 😎
Hope you ended up enjoying it! thanks for the like
@@Fevvy Holy bujeezus, this is incredible! Far and away the best editing in your videos yet. I never knew the circlet-falmer helm was a thing! Also what a great way get those ridiculously strong enchanting potions post-USSEPatch. Is that the limit you got to before the game would crash?
Love Skyrim,love all the YT channels still making content on it and most of all love ur content fevvy.Keep up the excellent work
Thanks so much!
A little tip, in the Aniversary Edition you can do the same exploit of level up Alteration but with Destruction, using the spell "unbound freeze" (or some shit like that). Just keep using it and then fast travel to someplace far. Beware tho, it damages nearby people.
You can easily find this spell in the Hob's Fall Cave (also some shit like that, I'm bad with names), near Azura's Shrine. This cave actually has all the new Destruction spells (I guess?) from AE in the very same chest.
Can u still do this build on SE?
@@sleekismboyz605 not because most of the stuff (such as the bow of Shadows, the spells this guy is mentioning, the farm, etc) are from creation club, and from the ones that didnt got free on SE.
You can still do a normal stealth Archer build like you did before anniversary released, however. Only changes the amount of times you need to rest for crops, since other houses have WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY less space to plant them, and the weapons that arent present. Captains boots (footwear you can enchant with chest enchantments) are also not in SE, but you could murder the entire raven rock population for dummer shoes which do the same (or one person and dupe them. 100 pickpocket works too). The bow used at the end of this build has the same base damage as a daedric one, only the appearence and enchantments are unique (Draw 20% faster and cast invisibility the moment you start drawing the bow).
Not Just the destruction spells. Hob's contains all the spells added by the arcane accesories creation. Which, yeah, most are destruction, but the others are also pretty cool.
From summoning a level 30 bear and also gaining 50% frost resist and regenerating health 50% faster all in one spell, to a paralisis rune, to 15 sec of invisibility, water breathing and night vision (at base, then affected by perks in its duration), passing through "hey, want a completely silent spell, for 5 seconds of invisibility and auto opening every non master lock?"
Best part? While vendors sell you the spells based on your level in that school of magic, the chest with all the spells is always there no matter the level
@@darkanayer5867 Do you think it's worth buying AE? Or should i just get mods
@@sleekismboyz605 you can do both tbh, i believe most of the important mods that AE broke have already been fixed.
I personally think its worth. Its a ton of content for Just 20 bucks if you already have SE, since you can buy theh upgrade for that price instead of the whole game again. You could also Just do mods and wait until it is on sale, that can work too. I like it, albeit i never really got into modding, so i cant help much in that decision. But if you got no better use for 19.99 € in the foreseerable future, go ahead.
Not gonna lie....I always end up as a sneaky archer. Also, love how my boy Teldryn is in most videos now. I love him!
Yeah he’s the best
I always end up as a mage.
@@spookzer16 same
Super vidéo comme d'habitude, super montage. Je poste rarement des commentaires mais tu mérites clairement que je prenne un peu de temps pour le faire. Même des français te suivent ! Prends soin de toi ! 🥰
Great video, as much as I'm just starting to play skyrim, and I don't understand most things, I really enjoyed it! I'm going to finish the game my way and then try to make these builds.
Enjoy mate! thanks for checking out the video
You know what I wanna see? An op citizen build. The greatest woodcutter, a hunter that lives off of the land and master homechef. Unbeatable.
Such a great video thanks for always making it feel special can't wait for the next skyrim build
Working on it now
I wanna see your take on an artificer build, especially now with all the new, crazy staves you can get *super* early in the game.
I made one who wore heavy armor, had a shield, and carried like 20 staves for all sorts of things. He was only like level 7, but I had access to paralysis, expert level summons, and of course some solid damage options. I envisioned him as a magical spearman, but he ended up just being a magical artillery piece.
Nice!
It's a shame I always hated staves on this game. The casting is so weird. I know it's just get used to it, but I'm good not using them tbh
Thanks to your awesome builds like this one it just made it more fun to play skyrim and as a stealth archer
I loved this build, I actually used it to practice for the dreadlord build 😅 Great build, took about I’d say 15ish hours but raining hell on your enemies is well worth it. Only thing was I was a bit curious why we had to contract vampirism instead of just joining Clan Volkihar
Hey sorry I'm late to the party, someone else wrote this about Vampirism:
Late update for those who complains the part 5 doesn't work as intended (fortify of enchantment potion & alchemy enchantment can't reach to that high level after 4-5 loops).
You may integrate your build in the midway and skipped the importance part: being a vampired necromage.
You need to be an vampire (biten by the vampired AND wait for 3-4 days to be fully transformed to a vampire), THEN take the Restoration peak called Necromage. This combination will bring extra 25% enchantment bonus (hidden perk, doesn't show on Actived Effect screen).
It also bugged me for an hour to figure out what's wrong.
Hope it help.
@@etowngftddummy yeah i figured it out later but tysm :D
@@dogeshibe5780you don't have to contract it from a vampire, starting dawnguard and becoming a vampire lord works too.
@@dogeshibe5780and you get way more buffs than you think, Vampire Necromage is literally soooo OP. It buffs multiple perks, all enchantments and potions and so much more.
High-tier stealth builds in Skyrim are like that "I’ve mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still that I become invisible to the eye" scene from Infinity War but completely unironic.
yep... pretty much
20:41 is my favorite bit in any fevvy video
“I, am HERMAEUS MORA-“
*fart sound effect*
😂 I’m such a child.
Is anybody else having issues harvesting their creep cluster? I'm playing Skyrim AE on the Nintendo Switch. I planted all 12 but no matter the angle I can't harvest them.
EDIT: Creep cluster has a VERY buggy hitbox and you'll need to crouch and aim a fair bit above the plant to harvest it. Be aware it will take hours in game to harvest them until you get used to it.
The hardest part is getting the kajiit to sell Gold Kanet or dreugh wax
Hardest part about this guide is getting the Kahjiit caravan to carry the ingredients you need.
Played skyrim for the first time following this vid, had a great time. 10/10 guide !
Every build video should end with a transition from first to third person PoV, revealing a stealth archer.
me, playing skyrim for the first time on release day: "OH wow, I bet a stealth archer build is gonna be so strong"......me 10 years later: "OH wow, I bet a stealth archer build is gonna be so strong"
Hey Fevvy, love the video!
You probably know this, but some of your viewers might not.
If you go the necromage route, you can easily buff the effect by 25% using the undead dog pet added in the Aniversery Edition.
Actually they nerfed that effect of the pet when the Anniversary Edition was released, sadly, it doesn't work anymore like it used to.
FEVVYYYY, nice to see you again haven’t watched the bud yet but I can tell it’s gonna the best so far, everyone loves stealth archers, and everyone loves you, welcome back from your break hope everything’s well and hope you had a good time recording this ❤️
It’s always fun recording Skyrim!
@@Fevvy always fun to play your builds too, keep it up you’re amazing and have grown so much, would you mind if I added you on Xbox and you can tell me how you record sometime ?
I just found you… Mind blown 🤯 first time seeing your content. Nice work 🤘
i know im very late to this, so ill be short and sweet, I reccomend completeing the quest
"A farmers life for me" as you can get thousands of gold just by exsisting. I love your content so much though, ive been subbed since like your "early" builds.
As much as the community says this is a classic I have never been a stealth archer I mostly go for warrior build I ALWAYS end up a two handed heavy tank so I started recently adding stealth into my play throughs made the experience so fun (also one handed weapons and blocking etc)
As of recently I really wanted to see what the fuss was about for this classic can’t wait to use this build as I have no idea about archery tips though I will most likely add a bit of warrior in as that’s just how I play
Loved the video!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Hi fevvy! I’ve been a fan of your videos for a long time now. Could you consider doing a pickaxe build? I always thought that a pickaxe build would be funny. Thanks!
Duel wielding pick axe khajitt?
How long does leveling the 3 smithing skills + creating an op armor with fortify enchanting takes you? It took me 2 days for 12 hours of playtime in total cuz I messed up some of the steps. It's pretty draining tbh... Props to you for having the strength to go through it on every video
Same it took me the same time it's too damn long but probably worth it in the end when you do the quests and story
big thanks to you! im new to skyrim and saw this video so helpful, i paused it, slowed it, and learned it! got 20 hours in game time and still reach the midgear build (not that strong from your video coz idk bout this game at first and how to reset the merchant, but still reach double enchantment etc). Of course im not playing the main quest yet (or any quest).
Anyway, THANKS A LOT! LOT LOTLOT!
such a good guide so much effort put into it and it shows and we really aprriciate it! the build took me 4 days to make but im super happy with it and you have tought me stuff i didnt even know you could do. this is also my first time doing alchamy and inchanting even though i have been playing since 2015. likked and subed
Glad I could help! and I am so glad you enjoyed the video!
With the falmers helmet you can use a circlet, which leads to thinking that an snow elf helmet should allows the use of a circlet as well. It would be an awesome helmet as well...
To be fair, this is the first build i ever did on Skyrim. I dungeon "crawled" my way through the game until you get the roll feature. I love the sweetspot where you can still be found. Once you get too stealthy, enemies won't see you right under their nose and it becomes too easy to be entertaining.
The rise is greater than the fall, we all reach a climax
I'm gonna be real, ever since I discovered Teldryn in your videos, I have never wanted to "not" use him as a follower, although he does get a bit buggy sometimes like getting stuck in places with walking back and forth, or always getting stuck in a blocking stance, but other than some buggy glitches, he's a great follower.
Teldryn Sedro: _"Ah, shit. Here we go again."_
Ah i see you are a user of the nightingale armor,
I am partial to the Cicero armor myself.
This build made me realize how much was actually added to Skyrim. I kjnda wish Anniversary Edition would come to the switch the same way Special Edition did.
Your wish is granted
@@thegrandt604 This comment made me learn about this update, and now I have it downloaded!
short answer, always sneak, always use a bow, all perks in sneak and archery.
You can get sneak 100 pretty easily in the intro.
Just sneak with a dagger (+ no armour) and stab your friend in the back on legendary difficulty repeatedly.
Takes like 5 minutes.
Funny how every 5-7 months I just hop on Skyrim make a new save and either grind to death or have fun with the story
You can pick orc and take dark brotherhood gloves to basically have x9999 on your bow shots just to double one-shot dragon) Nice vid
Damn fevy you gotta be the only person still breaking skyrim. I love it
Next time use the orc race for additional double damage works also for bows
I know this build gets memed on alot but like, its such a good build and far more effective than I think the game devs had planned lmao
A lot of my friends say that everyone has done an archer build…here I am never done one before. Might as well do it the best way possible!!
The best part was the accidental sucker punch on the alchemist into the immediate plus frame re-load previous save. We're still learning new in-game tech
bro i'm playing skyrim i hop on youtube for a sec and i see this lol
Niceeeee
Nice vid. My character has to always be this. Usually use light armor so was glad to see light ebony was put in the game. I usually choose wood elf.
Original. Creative. Exquisite. Nothing else like it done before. Chefs kiss.
One shotting Karstagg and capturing his soul legit made me lol 😂
Hello fevy a tip for power leveling sneak it’s a bit cheesy but it works so you just go I. Sneak at the bear part and keep sneak attacking Ralof till 100 just like the grey beard method
Skyrim is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits whatsoever 👌🏼
“It just works”
Thanks for the video, really helped me choose which class i wanted to spec into
5:21 you can actually get wood and stone at the plantation, next to the windmill. There's an axe on the chopping block, all you need is a pick.
Nice tip! thanks for that
@@Fevvy cheers, thanks for the awesome videos
The fun thing is no one thought me this build I didn’t even see videos about it, but somehow during my gameplay I descended into this build 🤣😂
I like how you make build tutorials fun.
Incredible work from you I'm in 3 hours with 0,25x playback speed video step by step watching your moves so i can try it , and it's pretty hard and take some long time for us , so thanks for your hard work putting it for us piece by piece 🎩🙏🏻
The Romulan Star Empire endorses this video, and the entire concept.
“From the Shadows” as a Khajitt is actually dope asf 🔥
My brother this music selection is fire
20:17 Rolling by Limp Bizkit, you're really the best youtuber ever
1.2 million stealth archer memes and someone covers the topic anyhow. lol
I love this
Of course one of the best skyrim videos that I’ve seen
If you take the key away from the imperial legionnaire before ralof can scavenge it you can avoid the gate being opened, and looting the two daggers, you can crouch behind ralof and hit him infinity for levels on sneak
Great vid as always ! I think you should add a precision tho, the vampire/necromage combo is not retroactive, meaning you HAVE to get vampire/necromage as your very first perk for it to work on the other perks or permanent buffs like Agent of Mara or standing stones. Not that it really matters on a broken build like stealth archer tho ^^
Yeah I find it doesn't make too much of a difference, the most notable thing was the reload speed of the bow
I reccomend finding a Hunter Backpack to you since it gives 75 more carry weight and bows do 10% more damage
It's adds damage I just hate the look
They seriously releasing the Game for the third Time and the Archery Training with Faendal still works. Amazing.
Yep hahaha
