Love ur videos !
@@stash2823 thanks so much ❤
It's a nice list and I don't disagree that these armors are great. I'm kind of sad that my favorites, Stahlrim and Amber, weren't on the list. I also like the Saint's and Seducer's armor but those don't look good on male characters. Real ninjas wear blue so not to stand out from the silhouette of the moon so I wish there was a navy blue version of the stealth armor but I love the fact they are black.
Great video. I like where your head is at with your list. :)
Steel plate
Edit:Heavy dawn guard
Dragon-Scale is probably my favorite design
But I do love the deathbrand set
Side note: how did I miss this video for over a year?
I've been playing this game for like 8 years and I've never heard of the madness armor
It’s pretty decent
It’s Anniversary edition content for Skyrim
You can also get madness armor in elder scrolls 4 with the dlc
@@GamingExploits ...the Best is... dragon bone armor with the enchantement you need ...
@@ambientalgroup5117 Dragon bone isn’t the best in armor or enchantments…
Not sure if anyone said it but Dedric armor has a hidden enchantmen/mechanism. When you use the intimidate option it will have a higher chance of being successful and increase speech
Mykol!
*daedric
Will it increase Speech faster too?
@@Leto85 no it's just an intimidation check bonus.
@@falinestixiaolong9691 it would, doing intimidations or bribes, etc, increase speech faster
I know that it's not really a whole set, but I really like the ebony mail. The darkness that it imbues is just so cool.
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THIS CORRECTLY. EVERYONE IS SUCH AN IDIOT.
I use Nightingale armor but swapped the chest for Ebony Mail, lookin like an assassin samurai
Ebony armour but with wolf boots and wolf gauntlets looks kind of sick on a male avatar.
I was going to mention it if no one else did. It not only looks cool, it serves as enemy radar. Even though it's not a set, you can get the matched set perk with it since patch 1.9 by using it with ebony armor pieces.
Made a set of Ebony for Mjoll the Lioness when she is traveling with me. It definitely looks bad ass on her.
The best armor is the stuff you craft yourself. Max Blacksmithing and placing two enchants on each item with top-tier enchanting level will give you better armor bounuses than anything you find via exploration or quest-lines. This also gives you the ability to mix-match armor pieces appropriate to your character for role-play/immersion purposes.
yeah but like the thieves guild armor is unique and immersive to my usual builds (you can guess what it is)+thieves guild best build+thievs guild solos+drip
@@Vinnare Pretty sure you can still upgrade it, so yea this still applies.
@@altabalder what? No shit you can upgrade armors but im pretty sure the og comment was saying stuff you craft yourself as in like steel, glass, daedric, dragonbone, etc.
@@Vinnare Armor rating wise it doesn't make that much of a difference
But yea the enchantments are what take the upper hand
Also, not all armor pieces can be upgraded; Miraak's mask for example, can't.
@@altabalder drip>actually being good
I really like the Nightingale set. It's like I'm cosplaying Moon Knight but in all black (so pretty much Batman 😅)
Knightwing???
@@John317Mc moon knight and knight wing are 2 diff ppl
Amazing!
It feels like I’m playing shadow of war
Percisely!
I really like the Nordic Carved Armor. Some things just look and feel 'right'. I eventually moved on to the Dragonbone armor, but it did make me sad to give it up.
Same :D Nordic Carved Armour then onto Dragonplate, enchanted to max out Health and Stamina Regeneration and Magic Resistance... wielding a shield and axe and running around jumping of things into the middle of combat :D
I remember I had a dawnguard war axe that killed approx 2394 enemies, killed miraak, Alduin and harkon, it has been externalised in my bedroom in windhelm
@@curtislane87nordic carved isnt saints and seducers its dragonborn dlc, your thinking of madness armor
I gave Lydia a set of it and there is another set in the Amory of my home in Lake View. Definitely some of the best looking armor in the game IMO.
My companions tend to like the Nordic Carved Armor a lot. They wear it as soon as I gave them and it's very effective for a companion.
I'm surprised Ebony Mail didn't make the list. Not many heavy armors tailor made for sneaking. The shadows that grow when crouched are a nice touch too
Ebony mail isn't an armour set
I said the same, dont forget the damage effects. This post is about armor sets. Wish we got a full mail set of ebony with different enchantments
Heck yeah, I pair it with the nightingale boots for sneaking.
Bro... that is my most favourite armour in all the game.
There is ebony armour though and the ebony mail being a daedric artifact fits in perfectly. I’d also recommend using the ebony blade.
I think that Daedric vs Nightingale would be interesting because Daedric is more a destruction type of armor and Nightingale is a sneaky type of armor.
I still remember getting Nightingale Armour for the first time.
Same man
I wear General Tulliis’ armor and use the Imperial Dragon Shield. Looks nice together. General Tullius’ armor can be upgraded and enchanted, which appealed to me more so than Imperial Dragon, already enchanted. To compliment, Leather Scout Boots and Gauntlets. These soft leather accessories match perfectly and can be upgraded and enchanted as desired. The gloves allow the finger tips to grip the bow string, oddly that detail is required for my characters. Although they’re typically Stamina builds. I just like to run like the wind. 😊
Ooh great set up there man!
I love how you’re just standing there trying to show off the dragon scale armor and a arrow just hits the shoulder
Haha yeah those archers really didn’t understand what I was trying to do.
I really appreciate you including armor ingredients as well as how much, Thanks!
I like the Imperial dragon armor with the shield of Ysgramor, it's pretty strong, fast to get and looks good imo
Idk why but I’m obsessed with glass armor , it’s underrated and sooooo beautiful
couldn't agree more!
You tried Amber armor from the anniversary edition? If I remember right it's weapons have the best damage to weight ratio in the game.
@@GamingExploitshow is madness armor looking better than glass.....
I knew what you'd choose as a number one after hearing about numbers 8 and 7
I personally like Daedric armor the most from vanilla Skyrim (it's black and red draconic design is something else) and I really like the Dawnguard heavy armor from the DLCs. Can't say about AE stuff though haven't tried most of it yet
dawnguard armor is crap, thanks for letting everyone know to not listen to you :)
not really, just teasing friend, my favorite is the vampire armor, if you get the vampire house you get a full set inside that you can enchanted, its nice
@@santioliva you mean royal vampire armor? Yeah I also really like this one, but the cut out in the chest on females always looks a bit off to me and I just really like closed Dawnguard helmet and sleeveless armor
I like the CC Ebony Spell Knight armor, and the CC Steel Soldier Armor. The Spell Knight Armor just looks so damned cool, and the Steel Soldier Armor reminds me of 5th Century Foitsoldier Armor and Helmet.
The Steel Soldier helm that you get from the quest also has fire resistance on it. Can't normally put fire resistance on a helm. Plus it reminds me of the Mandalorian.
what fucking game are you playing? cuz that shit isnt skyrim.
OH EW ITS GARBAGE CREATION CONTENT EWW NO.
Mine personally is the Ebony Spell Knight armor set, sometimes I'll use Wraithguard instead of the the spell knight gauntlets since I enjoy using Sunder
I like to mix and match sets. Penitus Oculatus, Elven and Stalhrim for light. Ebony, Daedric and Wolf for heavy. The Jagged Crown and Imperial Shield go well anytime ^^
Can’t argue with that, and great choices! A++
One that I like to do when starting out for the Thieves Guild is a set of sneaky Glass Armor mixed with Krosis' Dragon Priest mask.
The color of the mask mixes well with Glass Armor's gold-ish highlights.
But my favorite has to be either the Nightingale Armor or the Deathbrand Armor.
"Sneaky" referring to the armor's enchantments of-course.
That's the armor I've been using in my latest playthrough and that mask fits it absolutely perfectly. The mask is light armor as well so you can get the all light armor pieces bonus with that combo.
You can get full sets of bonemold and ebony armor (minus shields,) and a daedric helmet and scale gloves when you do the "A Dying Wish," quest from Falkreath and pick the "altar of power" option. They can be found in the arena after you kill the arena champion. (Anniversary Ed)
I like the combination of nordic armor + closed imperial helmet. Looks awesome and you can find both parts early on.
My go to is the ebony mail, deadric boots and gauntlets, and the dragon preist mask mask in solsteim that reduces fire damage since I'm a vampire.
Ooh great set up!
Well yeah, I personally think Nightengale is the best looking, except when I'm clothing my companions. Then I stick them in buffed up Forlorn...uhhh...just because.
Haha just in case what? ;) carry on
Dark seducer armor looks amazing on Khajiits and Argonians.
💯
"looks amazing" someones been playing a little too much
I like the Royal Vampire Armor, its light and with some leather smithing it is easy to upgrade. You can find plenty of un-enchanted boots, gloves that you can upgrade.
Not great as far as armor goes but it's hands down the best-looking female set in the game.
Left out the Civil War Champions armor sets and they should have absolutely been placed somewhere on this list. Both sets are phenomenal in both armor rating and enchantments. I personally prefer the Imperial Champion set, plus with them being upgraded to legendary, the armor rating on top of the enchantments practically make your character godlike. Not to mention the shields and weapons that come with them.
I wear Daedric armour for my tank build, with double enchantments for health regeneration and magic resistance on jewellery - makes the character virtually invulnerable to magic whilst being able to shrug off most melee attacks.
For my stealth mage build though, I don’t even wear armour: just robes with magicka perks on it.
I guess the best armour is whatever suits your build best, but ultimately crafting and enchanting your own is far better than anything you pick up.
Ebony mail is really good. Looks good. Plus the poison effect and sneak are good perks. Hate the smoke though when sneaking, makes it harder to see when using archery
At the end of the Boethiah's Calling quest your given a ebony set with a ebony mail chestplate that, when crouching or in combat, turns the whole set pitch black. None of the other pieces are enchanted so you can put anything you like, making it potentially the best heavy stealth armor possible
Awesome video ! I mostly use Aetherial crown , master robe , daedra mail gaunlets , and black college boots
The imperial armor set from the quest that gives flat magic resistance. Very OP
Yes!
My favourite armour would have to be the arch mage robes with a dragon priest mask, preferably morokei,as well as some good gauntlets and boots
Gotta love the dragon priest masks!
Quick tip on the daedric armour you can get it at the very start in the college of winter hold basement through the vigil stone you will need void salts daedric hearts and a filled grand soul gem if you want daedric weapons you will also need a silver sword, (quick save when all ingredients are in the box and keep getting pieces till you get what you want, you need level 90 conjuration just spam soul trap on a dead mud crab
I'm loving the ebony spell knight armor. The two other variant's look awesome but there's just something about that black and gold.
Can anyone tell me what song is used for the intro? I think it's a remix of "He's a Pirate" but I can't find the exact one.
I love nightingale armor. I have my game modded but still choose it over all the other ones. The only armor you didn't mention- probably because it's ONLY the torso armor- is ebony mail. I use that sometimes because the poison enchantment is amazing.
My favorite is that ebony armor that poisons nearby enemies. One of my favorite builds is the "Covid-Laced Leonidas" where you have it on, and have no weapon besides shield bashing. And you just crouch + block towards hoards of enemies like a spartan from "300" and bash them to death and give them covid with the ebony armor I mentioned.
I've always loved the Vampire Royal Armor that you can find in the Volkihar castle. It's the same armor that Serana wears.
You don't even need to JOIN the Dark Brotherhood to get the Ancient Shrouded. Just go to Hag's End, use the Ritual Stone, then exit through the front door, and all the bodies you raised will follow you out including the Ancient assassin. Just wait an hour/Un-raise him and take the armor.
Edit: Also there's a hidden buff to the Full set of Daedric armor (Not sure if it works with the Alternative Armors Daedric stuff) that makes Intimidation checks 10% easier, alluding to the fact that your armor is terrifying! XD
Thank you! My sneaky character evolved into being an ex-Thief post-Thieves Guild questline, so joining the Dark Brotherhood makes no sense for her (though would be tempting for her)
My favourite would definetel be the Dawnguard set, because the Vampire hunter knight aesthetic is just impecable
Dwarven Armor is my favorite!
Unique helmet, Visage of Mzund with increased Stamina and a steam shout!
Also look closely at the helmets face, it changes expression if your character is male or female.
The Armor itself looks amazing and goes well with many of the uniques in the game.
Spellbreaker Shield
Volundrung Warhammer.
Black Bow of Fate
Enhanced Dwarven Crossbow.
Ebony mail and mask of claviscus vile is pretty dope end game I’m uasally wearing jagged crown With dragonbone armour for matching set and you can wear the Athenriam crown with the jagged crown
Fantastic set up!
Hey quick question, I fought a dragon and looted "Silvered Charred Leather Armor"? Never seen this. Might be a mod but not sure? I don't recall it being in mods I'm using. Could be wrong
Totally agree, i have the exact armor in every character that i have, nice and badass looking
you can get the ancient shrouded armour without even starting the dark brotherhood questline. To do this, you just need two wooden plates, platters, buckets, cauldrons or other wall glitching items, then against the wall of where the ancient assassin is, just hold the item up to it and walk/ run. You need at least two so you can get in and out without trapping yourself.
My personal favorite armor is actually the Ebony Mail from the daedric quest, I usually pair it with the Ebony Blade from the Whispering Door quest aswell
I really like the armor you get from Vyrthur even though it's not a complete set.
That black armor in the clck bait was so cool it remeinds me alot of noob saibot from mortal kombat 3
Ancient Falmer armor with Aetherial crown 🤝
Something worth mentioning about the Nordic Carved weapons is that the Advanced Armors are part of the light armor path. So while Nordic Carved may not be the best heavy armor it also isn't the worst and could be valuable to light armor players as you could still extra enhance it with smithing and give it to a heavy armor ally.
You dont need to glitch in Blackgaurd armor, just get the key to the blacksmiths house in Raven Rock and you can get it. You need to be in the thieves guild though
Nightingale armor is by far my favorite in the game. I get it every time I play the game and wear it as often as possible. Even if there were no bonuses I'd still use it.
I really love the Dwarven armor because it looks cool and it looks like it's from a Steampunk universe
The first time I ever played Skyrim the Dwarven armor appealed to me. It still does and I love it.
Look up the dwarven helmet the expels steam
@@justintyler6425 I did that already
Nice thanks great content
I play a mage/seak/ranged dark elf , I wear royal vampire armor and morokei, with the jesters clothes as a backup whenever I wanna sneak
i love the thieves guild, i also like to play Skyrim as if im living a real life in the game.(i even use survival mode). nightingale armor has such good buffs and looks, but uh, it feels like it stands out way too much in the crowds!!! I always stick to standard leather thieves guild armor set
My favorite is the nightingale armor also. I also like the dragon scale. Goung to try deadric and madness ones
I am using Xbox x, and I use the Deathbrand armour, then switch to Masque of Clavicus Vile and the necklace that gives you 25% better prices, did the glitch where you hit the seller, then load up your previous game file, then he has new items. So when I was done at one time, it was bugged out, so I had the complete set of Death brand armour, and the Masque, necklace and another necklace that makes my archery 25% better. Had a very great time with that. I even saw both the Masque and Death brand helmet at once, looked dope not gonna lie. But it bugged at times, either didn’t have the helmet or the masque, so I just kept the Death brand armour, as I didn’t find a fix to use both at all times
That’s a very cool setup!
Great video! I love the elder scrolls!
Ive been running dwemer mail for a while now. Its probably some of my favorite aesthetically for light armor.
I really like the guild master armor, just feels really cool with the all black without looking super exquisite like nightengale or ebony but don't get me wrong they are cool just prefer the other. The Telvanni robes with dragonplate gauntlets and boots with the konahrik mask is really cool i find that on a female with the heart stone holder it looks really good.
Oooh great one!
but how do you get it ?
For the guild master armor complete the thieves guild quest line, and do five misc jobs for Delvin in each hold. Then complete each special mission in each hold.
For telvani robes complete neloth's quests and eventually he'll give you a mission to kill his old apprentice. She is wearing the robes and just take them off her corpse. (Note. The robes are unobtainable if you have the skyrim unnoficial patch)
For konahrik find all dragon priest masks and take them to the bust room in labarinthian
right? I feel like everyone looks over the Guild Master Armour but I love it, it was the first set I saw on Delvin, Vex, etc and I was like yes I need this immediately
@@PicklePugz Same here, they just screamed rogue character.
For a vampire assassin (a little bit of battle mage though) I may get the nightingale armor but there is another armor that is good for this type of build and specifically for a vampire, I have been wearing vampire royal armor for a while lol
Dude that intro song has no right going this HARD. Full version?
Is there a different way to get dragonscale armor? I don't really wanna spend all that time smithing
None of you wrote but ancient falmer armor set looks really cool. Also you can put any enchanment on it. It is like full white and never seen in the game this type.
this video is so good guys thanks. none of my favorite armors are in it tho
Thanks a lot mate!
daedric armor will always be my go to choice in skyrim. I love the look and atrributes of it.
Yea I've got a compilation of armor going on right now on second playthrough. Dragon bone armor,ebony gauntlets, ebony boots and then Otar helmet with Spell Breaker shield(Everything enhanced Legendary+plus☝️).What a combo but still NO Daedric.I don't recall finding any on last playthrough besides daedric helmet.I forget where I found it.Anyway most of my current weapons however are Daedric and enhanced plus+☝️Legendary also.Im pretty well good enough Id say though at level 56 on Adept and about 2/3 - 3/4 of the way through.Sovengarde and Alduin are not too far now but still have plenty to do from now till then really lol
Does anyone know what armor set is shown in the video preview image? I see the Nightingale armor and another set that looks like some sort of Bonemold armor. Is that obtainable in the game, or is it a mod? Thanks!
Id like to know the number for the night gale armor and ebony armor just in case i wanna play a little different early on
If you got creation club you can find two different sets of dragon armor
Dragon scale and dragon plate bot are relatively easy as long as you dont piss off the dragon guarding the plate armor and i forget where thr scale is is found .
Although this is about armor sets, ive been using Ebony Mail for sneaking, the damage from being too close is amazing
Funny i found this, level 11 and I already finished the Thieves guild quest getting the Nightingale Armor. I keep the Skeleton Key until I max Lockpicking, then i finish the Thieves Guild Quest line by returning the key to the Twilight Sepulcher. Then I usually go down the Dark Brotherhood Quest line and I usually dont play the main story until about level 70.
What was the armor besides the Nightgale Armor in the Thumbnail? If its a mod please share it to me it looks awesome!
Have a full set enchanted for weapons in chanted and Now so make sure they do extra damage in my armour has extra armour
I agree with Nightingale armor being number one. I wear it most of the time. Dragonscale comes second for me. Also Ancient Falmer armor is beautifull! too bad I have no helmet and shield:( Does anyone know how to get those?
Hi, I'm new to this game, what level can I get the armor at, I was mostly looking at the Daedric or the Nightingale armors can I get the armor at any level so I can keep using it from the start ? thank you
Weapons and armor do not have a level requirement so you can use them anytime, getting them is the hard part since you require a certain level in smithing to craft them or you can just find the as loot
I was going to do the mission and let that npc give me the armor in the thief guild@@MOHED_
@@mpunt69 you can also do the smithing level up exploit, you need like 1300 iron ingots and 1300 fire wood (use duplication glitch) to make iron arrows
How do I use the duplication glitch is it a spell ?@@MOHED_
If i would level up enchanting a lot and learn the enchantment of the nightingale armor could i enchant for example the dragonscale armor with the same enchantments using the best soulstones?
You could indeed
So is the madness only on anniversary edition because I play on PS4 special edition and I have access to madness and amber armor
I love the way Ancient Nord Armor looks on my female Nords. As for my male characters I always put them in Dragon Bone or Daedric Armor.
Great choices!!
You can also craft dedric armor easily in the basement of the wizard college thing. You need to do a simple quest where you kill e dedric that can be summoned on the roof of the college. Then you gather dedric hearts and a few other ingredients allow you the transmute them into any peace of Dedric armor and weapons
Do you need the anniversary edition to get the blackguard armor?
I always thought the ebony amatory you got from the daedric quest that makes you go black when crouching and drains health permanently when people are close was the coolest
I still fancy the Dragon Scale armour and enchant it myself to how I play. I have tried the Nightengale armour.. I do like it.. but i like to get a set of it with no enchantment to enchant the way i like it.. I wonder if the Dev's could put that in the game..
My favourite is either Ebonyplate, Studded Drahonscale or Master Thiefes Guild Armor
I remember the first mod I installed, it was precisely one that allowed the construction of the enchanting nightingale
The blades armor plus any Dragon Priests mask is just first off pretty high armor rating ALSO it just looks so friggin cool..
I choose daedric because of 2 reasons: 1, when fully upgraded with the right enchantments and a maxed heavy armor skill, you are basically a walking tank. 2, hidden intimidation bonus and it looks cool
I get everyone likes the Nightingale and Daedric armors for how they look, myself being included. But Azhidal's armor has some crazy enchantments on it that let you walk on water, can paralyze enemies who attack you, let your wards absorb magic, which when combined with certain other perks can totally nullify spellcaster enemies outright, and boost your enchanting. Also, Indoril's armor has the highest base armor rating in the game. So yeah, saying the Nightingale set is the best is obviously a biased remark when there are many other possible sets that do a better job of spicing up your gameplay while also keeping you protected.
I love the Nightingale armor, and I wish it was available as a Motif in ESO, cuz my Khajiit thief would only ever use it 😊
I like the Spell Knight Armor from the Creation Club. I also like Ebony.
im in that 10% who almost always makes a spellsword working on an alteration and illusion build i normally run nightingale if i do rogue though and deathbrand when i do melee builds
I only fashion the Skaal Armor with that bear hat… sick!
I love the nightingale Armor.
Lol I commented before watching!
I'm currently playing a mage run so I'm just using iron armor spell with no actual armor equipped.
The only problem I have with the nightingale armpit is the the cape doesn’t move I’m not sure if a mod has been made so that it will move but if not I hope somebody makes one
I love the Death Brand Armour just because of it's defense I have a really high light armour so it's really my go to choice for light armour.
I always use the nightingale chest and boots with an enchanted daedric helmet and enchanted vampire gauntlets. Bonus points for talos amulet and an enchanted ring.
My favorite armour so far is the madness armour (part of the saints and seducers DLC) it looks amazing and holds up pretty well, it's good heavy armour for the level I'm at, there's also amber armour which is also part of the saints and seducers DLC, it's way easier to get the materials for amber armour rather than madness armour. The madness armour requires ebony smithing (or daedric, I forgot) and the amber armour requires glass armour smithing. Both good sets madness being heavy armour, amber being light.
Thieves guild armour with elven gauntlets and elven armoured boots, plus Otar or Krosis and dual wielding an enchanted scimitar (stamina drain) in right hand and an enchanted imperial sword in the left hand (health drain). My favourite so far. Fantasy roleplaying in the Templars Guild who are trying to gainsake their glory days as questing Knights before they became trapped by Riftens Robbers Dogs (Thieves Guild) and lost their honour.
