I’ve played this game for years, seen tons of walkthrough videos, and created countless op characters… and yet I’m still seeing quests I never knew existed… what a game

[Fevvy]

It feels good to be back! Hope that you have all been well and I am so excited to be dropping videos again! Let me know what you thought below and if you have any ideas please share them with me. BTW most broken build ever...

[Justin-zgft]

I've been following along with this vid and making the build. It's very time consuming but the fact that I am basically the most powerful being in elder scrolls history I am okay with that

Update: instructions were unclear I am now a stealth archer

[net]

Fun fact: you just need an op magica ring, having so much magica actually makes it refill super quick (around 100, 000) so you get to actually wear anything you fancy

[nicholascampbell]

The amount of hours I've already spent following this guide only to notice I'm 6 minutes is hilarious

[golduck]

Ever since anniversary addition has dropped fevvy has been going more and more crazy with these builds

[Will-odgm]

something i don’t see people talking about is that you can have “infinite” magicka at the start by putting the novice hood in your favorites then having it on one of your shortcuts. when you run out just unequip and reequip and it’ll add those 30 points again

edit: glad to have you back :)

6:10 there is a tome of conjure Undying Ghost sitting on a rock next to the Ritual Stone outside of Whiterun-proper, across the river from the Tundra Homestead. There's a necromancer up there, but even on Legendary you can grab it and run before they have a chance to fully attack. I pick that up before buying anything else, first thing I do after Helgen. It's more than enough to beat the chaurus and get Myrwatch. Edit: I think there's also enough ingredients in the chests at the Tundra Homestead's forge area to create a mage backpack: if you make the mage backpack (for extra mana) then go up to get the spell, Undying Ghost might be strong enough to take out the necromancer. 🤭 Or he might be strong enough anyway, that spell is the most OP level 1 spell I can think of.

If you use skyUI mod there's a setting that lets you sell stacked items one by one. The reason this is important is because if you sell them as a stack you only get the speech exp from one item

[geneericname]

For anyone watching this today: Goldenhills actually has both a wood chopping block (outside, near the structure that becomes the grain mill) *and* a quarry on or near it (behind the structure that eventually houses chickens, embedded in rock, if I recall correctly). You don't need to go back to Riverwood for those, but you may need to get a pickaxe elsewhere because I think the farm only has an axe. Two actually, one by the wood chopping block and another the first ghost drops.

If you can't find the quarry in Goldenhills, or yours doesn't have it for some reason, Rorikstead (I think it was Rorikstead, anyway) is a thirty second walk away and has two on the outskirts, near the animal pens. There are also a few Iron and Corundum veins in its vicinity but you might need to smelt them somewhere else since you may need ingots to build the smelter there.

Just a little tip: for restoration training, repel undead works faster than turn undead because it can hit multiple enemies in 1 cast. Use it on skeleton in hall of the dead whiterun (there are 3 of them). Just make sure to control their movement 😄

Oh, and vagrant boots doesn't count as clothing armor. I noticed it, when I cast my ebonyflesh spell, the armor rating doesn't go up where it should be. (I played vanilla skyrim anniversary, no mod no unofficial patch)

So in pre-AE Skyrim, the enchanting/alchemy loop you use has diminishing returns, meaning the best enchanting potion you can make is maxed out at some point stopping stuff like this from happening, and the Dreugh Wax/etc they added are just strong enough that balance is broken. So now the enchanting /alchemy loop is a "legit" way of doing pretty much the same thing the resto loop does, just a bit slower. Wow.

[peeko_luxx]

I’ve never seen such optimization in Skyrim. The attention to detail is awesome. Very enjoyable watch 👌 Currently on a replay mood myself

[bravo_jason]

Just an interesting @ 16:34 when using Turn Lesser Undead on the Druager, be careful not to dial wield the spell as it could cause your game to crash. Happened to me a bunch so make sure to quick save a lot so you don’t lose progress…also this is the edited portion, I finished my second attempt at the build and I made him even stronger

[alfonsoabad]

For anyone having trouble at 12:03, you can get an Expelling weapon. The enchantment is Banish when you destroy it on the Arcane table.

[garrettweitzel]

Good to have you back Fevvy. We missed you and glad to hear everything is going better for you.

[nonparticular]

Great build! I've also started a new vampire and found that BOTH the Bloodworm Helm and the Bone Wolf give perks identical to Necromage. And they stack!

[thegreywolf]

This is the most overpowered build I've ever seen on YouTube, keep up the good work Fevvy! Maybe doing ultimate dragonborn build?

[LimeJSH]

Ive ALWAYS used ESO/Fudgetmuppet/TheEpicNate for my skyrim builds etc, and they are unmatched when it comes to back story and all the lore/details included. Hell even their little basic perks etc is good, but ACTUALLY building and playing through to showcase the build and stuff you will run into? I'd say you've taken the cake, but ive watched them for dam near 10 years.... this is my 2nd vid from you LOL.

You a beast man, i know this is a bit old for everyone watching: THIS MAN KNOWS HOW TO GUIDE YOU TO THE BUILDS GLORY. I know ALOT about skyrim, "been there, done that" type of shit, but picking a potatoe, giving it to solitude's farm chick for a free horse? NEVER seen that, along with like 5-10 other things in each of these vids lol. Granted I don't watch many play throughs but still

10/10 on this man's vids, going to watch more builds for suuure

[zeyolivetree]

bro a new destruction magic training method, absolutely gorgeous. shadowmere will have a decent life this time round.
