There was not much to do on holidays, I played Skyrim.
Furrowing the expanses of the game world, it was impossible not to philosophize about "what is the strength, brother." Which set me on a quest for the ultimate weapon. A weapon that makes battles fleeting and the philosopher's journeys serene and safe. :)
The path of the magician
I made my first entry into Skyrim as a magician. Destruction spells were my main weapon, and the main motto is “your weapon is your mind”, which is constantly voiced by one of the NPCs in the school of magic.
For those who want to follow the path of the magician, I can only advise you to create a set of items that reduce the mana cost of spells from the school of destruction. It is possible to enchant 4 items (ring, amulet, helmet and cuirass or robe, etc.). With a developed enchantment skill, without additional tricks, each of the enchanted items (on fortify destruction) gives a reduction in the cost of spells by 25%, which in total will be 100%. As a result, it will be possible to shoot fireballs and throw lightning for free. Isn't this the perfect weapon for a mage?
Way of the Warrior
The path of the warrior is more thorny, which makes it more interesting. For myself, I chose the classics - heavy armor and a combination - shield + sword. Other combinations will find their followers, and I will share my own experience.
A weapon's damage is determined by its base, your skill and enchant. Further in detail.
Weapon base
In the game, you find different versions of the same swords (hammers, axes, etc.) that differ in the material from which they are made. It is clear that the more expensive the material, the better weapons. Of light materials for making weapons, Glass is the best, and of heavy materials, Daedric is the best. For crafting, you need the appropriate ingredients, the blacksmithing skill itself (for Glass - 70, for Daedric - 90) and a blacksmithing specialty to forge the desired material. It is clear that the desired type of weapon can be found in wanderings and do not worry about searching for ingredients.
Skill
Each use of your weapon for its intended purpose improves the skill of using it. The skill doesn't grow very fast. You will notice, looking in the inventory, that with the growth of the skill, the damage of the corresponding weapon class will increase. Weapon wielding efficiency can be doubled with the appropriate perks. For one-handed it's the Armsmen perk, for two-handed it's Barbarian, and for the bow it's Overdraw.
sharpening
I have never found an already sharpened weapon in the game. And with even a minimum level of blacksmithing, you can sharpen and improve any weapon and armor (to sharpen enchanted equipment, you will need to take the appropriate perk). In addition, a blacksmithing specialty for forging a specific material will double the effect of sharpening weapons and armor made from that material.
Those. to create an ultimate weapon, we need advanced blacksmithing and weapon skills + a number of perks. Move on.
Blacksmith to blacksmith strife
Once you forge or obtain a weapon, you can sharpen it. The same applies to armor. And the higher the effect, the better the blacksmith skill.
You will surely find that it is possible to enchant a set of items to improve your blacksmithing skill. This is again a 4-piece set (ring, amulet, gloves/bracers and armor or the like). Without additional tricks, with a developed enchantment skill, we will get a total of 100% increase in the abilities of a blacksmith (It is an increase and not a doubling, because all the effects here add up to a common piggy bank, giving an increase to the base value). And if you resort to certain tricks (using alchemy when enchanting), then you can reach the total amount up to 120%.
Alchemy will also be useful - a developed skill of an alchemist allows you to create truly powerful potions. And the enchanter will help the alchemist, who will create a set of "young alchemist" again from 4 items (ring, amulet, helmet or the like and gloves or the like), giving from 100 to 120% increase in the alchemist's skill.
Dressed in a set of "young blacksmith", having stocked up the right ingredients and after sipping a flask with "'the blacksmith's elixir" we have 30 seconds to sharpen weapons and improve armor. That is how much the created elixir works.
Those. we will need advanced enchantment and alchemy skills.
Let's summarize
The path of the magician, as you can see, is much simpler. You just need to develop enchantment (create a set of "freeloader magician" :)) and delve into the study of the school of destruction magic.
A warrior does not seek simple ways, we will need - alchemy, enchantment, blacksmithing and the weapon skill itself. Each time you create a set of items (for an alchemist and a blacksmith), you should not disdain to drink the "enchanter's elixir". The effect is not great, but everything is a plus. And before the final chord - sharpening - drink the blacksmith's elixir (you can achieve an effect of more than 120% with just one elixir).
The last step is to enchant the "everyday" item set to improve your primary weapon proficiency. With a developed skill, the enchanter will improve 4 items (ring, amulet, boots and gloves) by at least 40% each. And on the weapon itself, you can apply magic damage effects (I prefer cold and shock damage), but this is already a bonus, hardly comparable to the main damage.
As a result, I (and I'm a little too lazy to admit - sometimes I disdained alchemy, and I still don't have a one-handed weapon for 100) turned out to be such a Daedric sword.
I believe that the limit values \u200b\u200bwill be about 500 units. physical damage and about 60 points of total magic damage. For two-handed weapons, physical damage can be taken even more, because. the base value is higher there.
Not enough bukuff? Read escho!
Comments on "Ultimate weapons in Skyrim (TES 5 Skyrim)"
Many comments in “Ultimate weapons in Skyrim (TES 5 Skyrim)”
I didn’t want to play as a magician, and I’m too lazy to improve the perks for the war - I pumped only heavy armor and one / two-handed sticks, the solution was found suddenly.
Crescius Karelia has a quest in Solstheim. Enter the mine near the city at Raven Rock and listen to him. He will need to get information about his father from the depths of the mines, which is hidden from him by the East Imperial Company. After passing it, you will stumble upon draugr-ghosts and other strong undead. Get to the corpse of the father. Take the diary from him, and most importantly, the Bloodstar sword. Use the sword to open the gate. Return to Cresius and get 500 gold for the diary. He won't take the sword from you.
This sword deals only 19 base damage, but with a power attack, it releases a discharge flying to the average, with a damage of 30. And it has UNLIMITED such discharges, plus it (although it is not indicated in the properties) has a very high chance of a finishing blow (when there is a death roller enemy) - can overwhelm a lurker with one power attack if he has 40% hp.I will not go into all the subtleties, but I'm afraid that the article was written by a noob.
For example, enchant weapons for cold and electricity damage to get a small bonus ...
AUTHOR, WHAT ARE YOU?!
The most delicious thing for a warrior is the ABSORPTION of the reserve of strength and vitality!
One side, strong blows now they fly in hail, on the other hand, health almost does not fly away at all!
Here he is, a real warrior!
And then "cold / electricity" ... At the beginning of the game, it would still decide whether.The Elder Scrolls 5.Skyrim.v 1.9.32.0.8 + 4 DLC without other mods can be improved even more than described here. Blacksmithing Efficiency Equipment+Potion (137% increased blacksmithing effect). To do this, you need to develop the skills of alchemy + blacksmithing + enchantment. Each skill has an individual approach. in other words, you need to increase the effectiveness of the three components (alchemy potion + enchantment skill + blacksmithing + the book of Hermaeus Mora on Solstheim (give a bonus to enchantment) + a set of armor, putting on a full set of them, they give another 10% to enchantment) after collecting all this, you will have to work hard re-enchanting a set of armor to create the most effective potion, after you create a potion, re-enchant the armor for alchemy, blacksmithing until you reach the maximum effect. Ahzidal's armor set, which gives a bonus, can be obtained from the Soltime quest.
As a result, I made myself an improved Dwemer crossbow that ignores 50% of armor - damage at 100 skill and with 4 things that I enchanted myself turned out to be around 650. And this is not the limit because I still haven’t finished the light dragon bone armor sharpened for bows and stealth. I’m going through Solstheim Island because there is Azidal armor that gives a 10% bonus to enchantment (the only item that gives a bonus to enchantment) with which it will be possible to make a set of a young alchemist and then a blacksmith even stronger and, accordingly, sharpen the bow even more and cast stronger enchantments to increase damage from small arms. The crossbow now hits in the region of 648 and the dragon bow 638 something like that, well, plus magic damage, but I don’t count it - I rarely load the crossbow with soul stones - I’m too lazy to go into inventory. And do not think that I bend everyone with this crossbow. I set the difficulty level to legendary and all the creatures and NPCs began to bend me and I kill them once from 5 shots, and I need to shoot 20 arrows at dragons and lurkers before it dies and at the same time they extinguish me the first time like ordinary NPC magicians Two lightning strikes and you're ashes. So the game balances your weapon anyway. The only thing wildly helps is triple damage from stealth attacks - I crawl through caves and ruins on my haunches and extinguish everything from afar - they die from the first or second time with a stealth attack. So this is not the limit. I made such a crossbow without any bugs. If you use a bug with a recovery potion that gives an exponential infinite increase in all enchantments on clothes, if it is drunk in a naked state - then I made a bow with damage "-200 ..." - that is, there the damage was with a minus sign and did not fit into the window. And I made potions with a cost of 200000 and with the effect of increasing the enchantment of 123000000 - if you make the potion stronger - that is, the number moves over a billion, then the game crashes - because such a figure cannot be stored in this variable. Yes, and it’s not interesting to play - you knock out everyone with one blow - the only cool thing is probably to make gloves and a ring with an increase in melee damage and extinguish everyone with your fists))
Becoming a legendary hero is much easier when you have a couple of powerful artifacts at your side. There are a lot of them, but which ones are the best of their kind? This guide contains the best one-handed weapons in the game, which are perfect for those who went to master on Nintendo Switch!
The best one-handed equipment in Skyrim
Skyrim has so-called unique items that are really worth getting. They are almost never found on sale, in order to take possession of them, you will have to complete dangerous tasks and go to the most remote Skyrim.
If you are tired of going anywhere, completing all the tasks in a row and getting some useless ones, then this guide is for you. In it, we have collected the best one-handed weapons of different classes, and also attached ways to get them. A real guide for the treasure hunter and gunsmith enthusiast!
The best unique daggers in Skyrim
There are a lot of unique daggers in the game, but we will focus only on a couple of absolutely amazing ones. They will come in handy for anyone who relies on stealth and lightning strikes from the shadows: Mehrune's Razor and the Blade of Woe
How to get the Mehrunes Razor weapon
A compact weapon that has a very good base damage (11), but is valuable primarily for its magical properties. Each hit with the Razor of Mehrunes has an instant kill chance, which exalts this weapon above all others.
To get the Razor of Mehrunes, you need to complete the "Pieces of the Past" quest by killing Silus Vesuius. The quest itself becomes available only after reaching level 20. The courier will bring a letter in which Dovakin will be invited to the vicinity of Dawnstar. To start the quest, you need to talk to Sil Vesul mentioned above.
How to get the weapon Blade of Woe
It has a higher base damage (12) and the enchantment will be useful in any fight: each hit with the Blade of Woe absorbs 10 health from the enemy.
The Blade of Woe can be obtained from one of the characters in the game during the completion of the Death Incarnate quest. It is part of storyline Dark Brotherhood.
By the way, you can get a dagger much faster if you start following the goals of the “Death Incarnate” quest even before officially joining the Brotherhood. Simply kill Astrid and take the Blade of Woe from her lifeless body. The downside of this fast way only one: after the deed it will be impossible to join the Brotherhood.
The best unique maces in Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has blunt weapons for every taste. You can pick up something cool for any situation, only unique maces enough in the game to arm a small army. But only one mace is good enough to have the right to be called the best - the Mace of Molag Bal (The Mace of Molag Bal)
How to get the weapon Mace of Molag Bal
This Daedric artifact is dangerous even without the magic that it contains: the base damage is 16. Each hit with a mace burns 25 stamina and magical energy, which allows you to effectively fight against magicians.
But that's not all: if the enemy dies within 3 seconds after hitting them with the Mace of Moghal Bal, then their soul is transferred to the soul stone, if it is in the inventory.
The Mace of Molag Bal is a reward for completing the daeric quest House of Horrors. In the city of Markarth, near one of the houses, the Watcher Turan (Tyranus) will turn to Dovakin, asking for help in cleaning up an abandoned house from Daedra worshipers. The task will begin as soon as you enter the house. Then everything will happen pretty quickly, but do not expect what will happen!
The best unique swords in Skyrim
Swords are the most popular weapon class, and there are more unique blades in the game than any other dangerous piece of hardware. Some of them are good and some are very good. And there are the best. It is about them that we will talk: Miraak's Sword, Chillrend, Dragonbane, Soulrender and Bloodscythe, Gauldur Blackblade.
How to get the Sword of Miraak
This sword was added in the latest official expansion - . And for true connoisseurs of edged weapons, this is almost a reason to fork out. This weapon has a good base damage, as well as a powerful enchantment that drains the stamina of enemies.
To get the Sword of Miraak, you need to start the Dragonborn storyline by going to the island of Solstheim. Almost immediately after landing the protagonist will run into two cultists who will tell him about the very first dragonborn and then try to kill him.
There will be many more adventures to come, and only at the end of the task "At the Summit of Apocrypha" (At the Summit of Apocrypha) will Dovakin finally be able to take possession of the Sword of Miraak. The main thing is not to forget to search the body of the murdered villain. Yes, it's all very long, but the reward is worth it!
How to get a weapon cooler
A glass sword (sounds crazy, but the standard Elder Scrolls logic doesn't work) that deals cold damage. Great choice against adversaries who are vulnerable to this element. As another nice bonus, there is a chance to paralyze the affected opponents. Well, the damage is good, you can not argue with that.
The cooler is the personal weapon of the head of the Thieves Guild, Mercy Frey. The easiest way to get the Chiller is to pick it up from Frey's house during The Pursuit. The dagger is in a closed box, so you have to work with master keys.
By the way, the strength of the Cooler depends on the strength of the character. Therefore, do not rush to complete the task, because you can get a weapon that will turn into a useless toothpick in the future. The strength of the Cooler is determined at the moment when Dovakin first enters the house of Mercer Frey.
How to get Dragonbane weapons
In The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, you often have to deal with dragons, so there is nothing better than getting weapons that are “sharpened” for fighting hefty winged reptiles. Dragonscourge Enchantment deals additional damage to dragons and also strikes all enemies with lightning.
As with the Chiller, the power of this weapon depends on the level of the character, so it might be worth "pumping up" a bit before chasing after the Dragonbane.
The katana can be found in the Sky Haven Temple during the Alduin's Wall quest. The task is a story one, so it will be difficult to miss it. The dragon scourge lies in a room that is located a little further from the main hall of the Temple. find the Blades.
How to get the Strangler and Bloody Scythe weapons
Actually, these are two separate weapons, but only together they deserve to be called one of the best swords in Skyrim. They appeared in the game with the release of the Dragonborn add-on and show themselves perfectly when the character picks them up. Both Strangler and Crimson Scythe are great at absorbing magical energy and health, as well as lowering the enemy's physical and magical resistance.
To get both blades, you need to reach level 36, and then you have to sail to the island of Solstheim, where the Dragonborn story develops. Then only a little remains: find the book "Deathbrand" in Tel Mithryn or on Raven Rock and complete the task of the same name.
How to get the Black Blade of Goldur
Another weapon, the effectiveness of which is determined by the strength of the character when you first enter the location of the task upon receipt. In the best case, the base damage of the Black Blade of Gauldur will be 36. This is very cool, but the sword can still be improved in the forge, having the forging perk of Dwarven equipment.
Also included with good combat power is an enchantment that restores the health of the blade owner.
You can get the Black Blade of Gauldur as a trophy at the end of the Forbidden Legend quest. To start the quest, you need to find the book "The Lost Legend of Skyrim", which will be left on where you can find Goldur - the famous Nord warrior of antiquity. The book itself can be found in almost any city.
If for some reason all copies of the book were lost, then you can find another one in the Lake cliff (Reachwater Rock). In the end, Dovakin will have to go to Folgunthur - the last abode of the dead Gauldur.
The best unique axes in Skyrim
Not as versatile as swords, axes are still very popular, especially among the wild Nords. Among the heaps of various rubbish, only two really good axes can be distinguished: Okin and the Dawnguard Rune Axe.
How to get okin weapons
A very impressive looking ax in the Nordic style. It takes cold damage, burns the enemy's stamina and has a base damage of 12. It is worth upgrading, since for this you only need a perk for forging steel equipment.
To get Okin in your calloused hands, you need to complete the Silenced Tongues quest. You can take it at the very end of the study of the mound Volundrud (Volunruud). Actually, Okin is a reward for completing the quest. By the way, Okin has a related weapon - Eduj, but it is not as cool as it might seem at first glance.
How to get the Dawnguard Rune Ax weapon
As the name suggests, this piece of Tamriel's brilliant military thought is part of the . Deals light damage to the walking dead, and this damage is dynamic: the more "dead" killed since the last dawn, the greater the damage. And the base damage is pretty good too.
Getting a weapon is not difficult - you just need to move along the storyline of the add-on. Sooner or later, Dovakin will get to the Lost Relic quest.
This is actually a radiant quest, which means that it can be repeated many times, each time receiving a new reward. Therefore, it is likely that you will have to go several times to clean up another hot spot, so that fate favors Dovakin and rewards him with the Rune Ax of the Guardians of Dawn.
Skyrim is a multiplayer game with open world, which has become more than 10 million players worldwide. Major events in the fictional world involve the return of the dragon Alduin, who is opposed by the Dragonborn. The task of gamers is to help cope with the threat of destruction hanging over the world of Skyrim. Weapons are undoubtedly the main means of fighting the enemy. Success in the game is ensured only by those fighters who managed to take possession of, if not the best, then very good specimens in terms of their qualities and characteristics.
Where and how to get weapons?
For new players, the question of where to get more or less worthy weapons arises at the very beginning of mastering the Skyrim game world. Weapons, two-handed, one-handed, or ranged, can either be crafted using blacksmithing or obtained as quest rewards. In the latter case, players will have a chance to get knives, axes, swords, staffs, and much more that are unique in their characteristics. True, they cannot be improved. on the contrary, it has weaker characteristics, but at the same time it can be improved. There is also another way to get powerful items in Skyrim - weapon mods. Each of these methods is worth discussing in more detail.
Crafting and Upgrading Daedric Weapons
So, if a player intends to independently manufacture and improve equipment that suits him in all respects, then he cannot do without mastering blacksmithing, enchantment and alchemy. At the same time, it is important to pump all professions to at least level 90. Only in this case the player will be able to create high quality items and apply more powerful upgrades to them.
For example, with skill level 2 in blacksmithing, the player will be able to craft a steel sword with a base damage of only 7 units. But the sword, crafted at the maximum level, deals damage of 15 units, and this is without any improvements and enchantments.
By the way, each subsequent upgrade for Skyrim weapons can only be done in a certain place and after completing the quest. Daedric weapons are crafted in a, and they are improved only after receiving the Daedric Armor bonus. Upgrading weapons in Skyrim is possible only with the help of certain materials: stones, firewood, leather strips, various ingots and sharpening.
Unique weapon
For those players who don't particularly like to spend time crafting and upgrading equipment items, weapons with special bonuses are more suitable. As mentioned above, it can be obtained in different locations in Skyrim. The best weapon for beginners is the Wraithblade, which can be picked up from the final boss of Ansilvund. The main advantage of this blade, especially if you take possession of two copies at once, is the complete disregard for the armor of the enemy. In Volundrud, you can find a good set of Okin ax and Eduj sword. They also help novice players cope with strong opponents.
More advanced players will like the Wuuthrad ax or the Mehrunes Razor dagger, the owner of which has a 5% chance to instantly kill his opponent. In the fight against a powerful enemy, a staff can also help, with the help of which you can call an assistant into battle for a minute and a half - a Daedric creature. If the player intends to seriously fight dragons, then without the Dragonbane blade, which gives a +25 bonus to damage against these creatures.
In a word, in order to take possession of weapons with such amazing bonuses and enchantments cast on them, you need to work hard: run around looking for artifacts in many locations, fight hundreds of mobs and complete dozens of tasks.
Weapon mods in Skyrim
Another common way to pass for a well-equipped fighter in the world of Skyrim is weapon mods. With the help of special modifications installed in the game, you can not only change appearance any type of weapon, but also greatly expand its arsenal. The biggest mod is Lore Weapon Expansion. With it, you can add 33 weapons from previous series of the game to your arsenal. Some items can be bought from merchants, some will have to be knocked out from mobs, and some will be made by yourself using blacksmithing. Other mods are designed to add specific weapons to the arsenal: shields, blades, swords, axes, magic staves and crossbows.
What are the best weapons in Skyrim?
Most gamers make up sets of items that complement each other as much as possible. In addition, an important point in choosing combat equipment is the build of the character in Skyrim. is a good option if you take, for example, daggers in both hands. One-handed weapons in the form of swords and axes are preferred by many players, since at the optimal level of damage they also have high speed indicators.
What is considered the most powerful and lethal in Skyrim? Weapons of any type, obtained in one way or another, can only deal basic damage. The improvement of this indicator depends, according to the creators of the game, on the skill of owning it. The more skill the player has, the more damage the weapon does. A large role in this is played by correctly selected spells cast on the subject.
Hello everyone, dear friends!
One of the main tasks of every RPG gamer is to find and create cool equipment. Finding a legendary sword in the next dungeon or getting a unique set for completing a quest is the peak of player enjoyment. Today we will talk about the best weapons that can be found in the open spaces.
I will say right away that the selection is based on the personal opinion and feedback of the players, so I hope there will be no angry comments like “Ugh, what a crap, but my sword is much cooler and easier to get”, people, be kinder. Well, we're starting!
Three stages
You won't be able to run in one set until the end of the game. From the very beginning, you will come across legendary items, but towards the end they will become useless and will happily be replaced with more promising items.
That's why I shared today's top best weapon into three parts:
- For the early game.
- For middle game.
- For the late game.
Choose your stage and go looking for the best weapons in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
Legendary entry level weapon
From the very start of the game, after receiving the first stars from the dragon, you can already understand that finding a good weapon is one of the main tasks in Skyrim.
The first worthy unique weapon that a player can encounter will be:
- Nightingale blade. Obtained after completing the Thieves Guild quest line. In addition to good starting damage (10-14), the sword has a special effect that allows you to absorb 5-25 units of HP and stamina of the enemy.
- Ghost Blade. After killing Lu'a Al-Skaven in the Ansilvund quest, this sword is given as a reward. With a weight of 1 unit and a starting damage of 8 units, this blade, ignoring armor, deals 3 damage, which makes it one of the best in the early stages of the game.
- Okin and Eduzh. A dual weapon consisting of an Okin one-handed ax and an Eduj one-handed sword. Weapons are obtained in the ruins of Volundrud at the stage of passing the quest "Silence of tongues". Okin, at 12 damage, deals an additional 10 cold. Edouge, with 11 damage, also deals 10 cold damage.
Any of these weapons will be a great addition to a beginner in the first couple of games.
mid game
Over time, the maples become obsolete, and the enemies become stronger, which makes the players again go in search of the legendary swords, axes, maces and other weapons.
In the middle of the game, they will be able to show themselves effectively in battle:
- Wuuthrad axe. According to the Companions storyline, this item will be one of the quest items, after which it will need to be left in the statue. After completing the quest Last debt”, the ax can be returned from the statue of Ysgramor in the tomb of the same name. It has a stock damage of 25 units and is considered one of the most powerful axes in Skyrim. Has a lethality effect when fighting elves.
- Mehrunes Razor. The dagger appears in the mission "Shards of Past Glory". After completing the quest, the Prince gives us the Razor as a reward. The base damage is only 11 units, but with a weight of 3 units, the attack speed is very high, which goes well with the unique property of the weapon. At a 1.2% chance, an instant kill effect is triggered that can even kill a dragon. Although the chance is low, it procs often enough to make this dagger one of the best in the game.
While Wuthrad's Ax is only good in the mid game, Razor will last until the very end thanks to its unique instant kill effect.
Deep late
By the end of the game, it is rare to find enemies that are able to offer decent resistance, but if you find them, you will need Dragon weapons. This gear has the highest base damage, but it takes some work to craft. In addition to the required blacksmith skill 90+, you will need a bunch of resources.
And with that I say goodbye to you. Subscribe to the channel and share information with friends. See you soon, dear readers!
