Skyrim is an open-world multiplayer game with over 10 million players worldwide. The main events in the fictional world are connected with 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 provided only to 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 a more or less decent weapon arises at the very beginning of the development of the Skyrim game world. Weapons, two-handed, one-handed, or small arms, can either be crafted using blacksmithing, or received as a reward for completing tasks. In the latter case, players will have a chance to get knives, axes, swords staves unique in their characteristics and much more. True, they cannot be improved. Daedric weapons, on the contrary, have weaker characteristics, but they can be improved. There is also another way to acquire powerful items in Skyrim - weapon mods. Each of the listed methods should be discussed in more detail.
Manufacturing and upgrading daedric weapons
So, if a player intends to independently manufacture and improve equipment items suitable for him in all respects, then he can not do without mastering blacksmithing, enchantment and alchemy. At the same time, it is important to upgrade all professions to at least level 90. Only in this case will the player be able to create high-quality items and apply more powerful improvements to them.
For example, with a 2nd skill level in blacksmithing, a player will be able to make a steel sword, the base damage of which is only 7 units. But the dragon bone sword, made at the maximum level, deals damage of 15 units, and this without any improvements and enchantment.
By the way, each subsequent improvement for Skyrim weapons can only be done in a certain place and after completing the quest. Daedric weapons are made in the Atronach Forge, and they only improve after receiving the Daedric Armor bonus. Improving weapons in Skyrim is possible only with the help of certain materials: stones, firewood, leather strips, various ingots and sharpening.
Unique weapon
Those players who don’t really like spending time crafting and improving equipment items will find weapons with special bonuses more suitable. As mentioned above, it can be obtained in different locations of Skyrim. The best weapon for beginners is the Ghostblade sword, which you can pick up from the last boss of Ansilwund. The main advantage of this blade, especially if you take possession of two copies at once, is the complete disregard for the enemy’s armor. In Volundrud you can find a good set of ax Okin and the sword Eduj. They also help novice players cope with strong opponents.
More pumped players will like the Wootrad ax or the dagger Razor Merunes, whose owner has a 5% chance to instantly kill his opponent. In the fight against a powerful enemy, the staff of Rosa Sanguin can also help , with which you can summon an assistant, a daedric creature, for a minute and a half. If the player has the intention of seriously fighting dragons, then without the Blade of Dragons blade, which gives a bonus of +25 damage to these creatures.
In a word, in order to take possession of weapons with such amazing bonuses and charms imposed on them, you need to work hard: run around in search of artifacts in many locations, fight hundreds of mobs and complete more than a dozen tasks.
Weapon mods in Skyrim
Another common way to become known as a well-equipped fighter in the world of Skyrim is with weapon mods. With the help of special modifications installed in the game, you can not only change the appearance of any type of weapon, but also significantly expand its arsenal. The biggest mod is Lore Weapon Expansion. With it, you can add to the arsenal of 33 weapons from previous episodes of the game. Some items can be bought from merchants, some will have to be knocked out from mobs, and some can be made independently using blacksmithing. Other mods are designed to add specific weapons to the arsenal: shields, blades, swords, axes, magic staves and crossbows.
What is the best weapon in Skyrim?
Most gamers make sets of items that complement each other as much as possible. In addition, the character build in Skyrim plays an important point in choosing combat equipment. Two-handed weapons are 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 an optimal level of damage their speed indicators are also great.
What is considered the most powerful and killer in Skyrim? Weapons of any type, obtained in one way or another, can cause only basic damage. Improving this indicator depends, according to the creators of the game, on the skill of owning it. The more skill a player has, the more damage the weapon does. Properly selected spells cast on an item play a large role in this.
