Discussion This is why people have a problem with stealth archery...

With maxed smithing, enchanting and alchemy you can make a bow like this and everyone because one hit kill. This damage is with level 80 archery on a level 64 character. This base damage plus sneek attack bonus it makes the game so easy... This is why people have a problem with stealth archery, it's op and makes the game to easy... But on the other hand it is a lot of fun to take out a whole room of enemies without even being seen!! And at the end of the day that's the point of Skyrim!! To have fun in a fantasy world where you can become so powerful!! So play Skyrim in whatever way you enjoy the most and may your road lead to warm sands!!

Question How to earn money as a beginner ?

Post image
639 Upvotes

I'm playing Skyrim for the 1st time. Watched some YT vids about how to earn gold.

I tried Alchemy but my potions were only worth 50 at Max. I don't want to search for specific ingredients at various places cuz that would be boring(ingredients I've gathered until now were used up in making potions)

I got the transmute spell from the bandits and made 10+ gold necklaces. But they sold for only 400(40 each) even tho It said 120 value 😭

And that also took a lot of time as I had to mine iron from camp, embershard mine and then turn it into.... Well u guys know.

I really want a house and a horse.(My own not stolen) Whiterun stable doesn't have a option for horse map( is that not available in Special Edition?)

Is there any interesting/fun way to earn money ? (Jarl only gave me 100 for a quest, so ig quests don't pay much)

Should I sell the dragon bones and scales for money?

Edit - Damn this sub is fast, 4 comments in 4 minutes

Discussion Goldenhills Plantation used for Profit is absolutely insane

If you fill out every plot with Blisterwart, add all the extra buildings, hire farmhands and get all the available animals, it makes like $1114 per day.

I did it for a pure mage play through, where I didn’t want to use alchemy to make money, and I went to check the profits: $20K

It’s broken honestly, but I love not needing to sell things to shopkeepers just to afford houses

Mehrunes Razor is by far the most fun, funniest, best and sketchiest weapon I have used so far. 10/10

The contrast of going an entire fight dealing horrendous damage only to kill the enemy regularly, and instantly killing them either immediately or a few hits in is too much to contain, and it's so funny.

Anyway, this is what made me want to find and collect daedric artifacts. Other than mehrunes razor, so far I have Mace of molag bal, dawnbreaker (My second favourite), skull of corruption and Sanguine rose. I'm looking forward to finding the rest and seeing what they do!

Also, Im still hording the skeleton key, if that counts as a daedric artifact.

Personally, I hate Lockpicking the most. Then Speech. Then Destruction. Then Enchanting. Everything else can be cheesed. I would be curious to know what you all would consider to make Sisyphus unhappy.

Discussion Farkas's armor is dumb

I have this problem every time I do the proving honor quest for the companions. The sliver hand that farkas kills in wolf from say that it doesn't matter which companion he is if he wears that armor he dies. SO WHY IS HE WEARING STEEL ARMOR. It sounds like he's supposed to be wearing wolf armor hence why that line exists but he's not so it sounds dumb. Also anyone else wish you could craft sliver weapons and armor? I know you can craft sliver armor but it never seems to work for me and the only sliver weapons are the sword and great sword but like why not all the weapons? There's a slice crossbow with AS so why don't they have that? Also I don't play as a werewolf like ever so does the sliver hand show up to fight you like the dawnguard for vamps?

Discussion Staffs

Post image
115 Upvotes

I usually play not as mage und staffs I find in game went directly to my followers.

Since my last playthrough where I found a quite powerfull Staff of Parslysis in Snaplag Cave.

It was great: Lydia parslized the enemies and it was quite a bit too easy to kill them.

But then she friendly fired me a few times and sometimes there occured a ugly glitch where the camera was devided from my character. Noting helped except closing the game.

So for now, all the nice staffs are mainly used for decoration. Besides Sanguines Rose. The only staff in game that I use sometimes🥰.

Which staffs do you use?

I got ganked like 20 times by 5 silverhands. Farkas did fuck all the whole time. I don't remember this dungeon being this hard. I'm level 15 and only on expert but damn if every room didn't feel like I was scratching and clawing for my life. Running healing chugging potions and poisoning my hammer just to get obliterated by a two hander pulling a 180 heavy attack. Good gods. 😂

Anyone else get pushed to the limit by this mission?

Question i've spent hundreds of hours collecting rare and unique items and displaying them in my player home (hjerim), but i've run into an issue

Post image
3.1k Upvotes

im using Jaxonz positioner mod to lock them in place and it has worked flawlessly until now. i've gotten to the point where im creating my treasure room, and i've placed all of my hundreds of gems in an open chest to display them but the game crashes now when i enter my home, unless i set the weather to clear using "fw 81a" before entering. since i dont trust that "fix" to work when i've added several hundred more gems to my chest in the future, and i ofc don't want to risk my hundreds of hour long playthrough of collecting, to go to waste by never being able to enter my home again. does anyone have any ideas on how to create a reliable permanent fix? i cant find any mods that adds static meshes for piles of gems that i can place for example. it doesnt help to make all the gems static using Jaxonz positioner mod either since the light is still being calculated for each and every gem. any ideas would be greatly appriciated.
