Perks after this can be invested however you like.

All Enchantments and armor items used for crafting can be found at Radiant Raiment in Solitude.

Mid Game Gear:
Ebony Helmet - Fortify Destruction + Fortify Archery
Ebony Armor - Fortify Destruction + Fortify Illusion
Ebony Gauntlets - Fortify Archery + Fortify Sneak
Ebony Boots - Fortify Sneak + Fortify Stamina
Necklace - Fortify Destruction + Fortify Archery
Ring - Fortify Archery + Fortify Illusion
Ebony Bow - Chaos Damage + Fire Damage

I put Illusion on the mid game gear with the intention to use Illusion spells but I didn't need them. I would recommend replacing with Enchantments that boost either stamina or health for the mid game gear.

Ebony Plate Armor - Fortify Health + Fortify Stamina
Ebony Plate Gauntlets - Fortify Pickpocket + Fortify Archery
Ebony Plate Boots - Fortify Sneak + Fortify Stamina Regen

Bow of Shadows

stealth archer is honestly so fun. Even though it always gets memed on. There's a reason everyone uses it

[wizardblizzard]

Enemy: *attacks player*
Player: *crouches*
Enemy: "Where in the nine holds did this cornflake-munching gremlin of a sneak archer go?"

[jzoobs]

I love how the leveling process keeps getting more and more optimized

Hello Fevvy, i would like to thank you for all these amazing builds and hilarious videos, my grandma has been suffering from a cancer she discovered last year and your videos are being such a remedy (along with the real ones haha) for my depression, God bless you, huge hugs from Brazil!

[totaldespair]

After 8 years of playing this game, the fact that there are so many people still interested is amazing. Keep up the great work man🥳

[evanyoung]

Ah yes, the stealth archer, the best, most original build ever

[Michael-hsgs]

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.

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.

[jalongraves]

ELEVEN years of playing this damn game, and I never once thought of dropping the daggers and carrying them like this.... you're a mad genius Fevvy!

[spyguy]

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 <3

[hulax]

I may not use any of these builds but it's always fun learning new things about the game, this videos are so informative, well edited and funny

[chrisg]

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.

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.

Dude I was just thinking about playing skyrim and doing a archer build then you popped up ima use your build thanks

[bedirhandurmaz]

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.

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

[nikitaradchyshtn]

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 :))

[calciumcrusader]

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
