Hey hey JBN! A friend of mine recently shaved all his hair off because he also has alopecia and has been struggling for quite a while with that decision. He's been staying a lot at home and sheltered himself from our D&D group because he was embarrassed about having gone bald at 23. I've introduced him to your channel a while ago and when we were watching some of your ad reads he became noticeably more confident in himself. Didn't figure someone would be so confident about their alopecia and it made him feel a bit more comfortable with his decision to shave all his hair. Just wanted to say thanks on behalf of Daan and keep on keeping on! Even though you're 'Just Background Noise', to him you're an inspiration! P.S. sorry if my grammar sucks, English is my sixth language!
@@saber7534it be like that sometimes. Took me a bit to feel like people will barely notice (if at all) english is actually not my native language through text. People say i don't have an accent when speaking but idk about that. I love the english language, i end up speaking it more than even my native tongue (portuguese) purely out of habit, i'm lucky my beloved wife speaks it too. I just wanted to say it's a common thing for people who don't have english as their mother tongue to feel insecure regardless of proficiency, basically, but ended up saying more than was relevant, sorry :p i get carried away by things i enjoy from the bottom of my heart, the english language included.
"Do you think you could do this with Alchemy? ... Probably." No. I think with Alchemy, you'd become so absurdly physically strong that when you struck just Almalexia, the dream itself would end. The Godhead would wake up with one serious headache. Or maybe they'd spontaneously shatter, mind over matter and all that.
you don't wanna do this with alchemy, you will become a health potion addict, because if your health buffs wear off you just straight up die from all the damage you probably took screwing around earlier. you could literally go to sleep and wake up dead...i've done it before 💀
@@marauder7209 The Godhead flying out of bed, flailing wildly, wrapped up in their blanket at 3 in the morning would be a hilarious ending to TES as a franchise. I wouldn't like it, but it'd be funny.
breaking morrowind with enchanting? you mean the morrowind equivalent of becoming a stealth archer? true carcinization of playstiles. i always call my health absorbing weapons some variety of The Throngler.
First time I ever really 'broke' Morrowind was with constant effect chameleon enchantments. At 100% enemies won't even try to fight you, they just run around in terror after getting hit. Mildly disappointed it didn't feature here but maybe in a future video.
It was pretty stupid before they updated the game to fix the constant effect enchantments without consuming a grand soul gem glitch. So many enchantments that just so happen to fit in a petty soul while still being constant.
POV of Baralzar the witch who starts her monologue and then seeing a magic man scraping the roof with his head shooting magic nukes at her must've been scary.
I sincerely appreciate how you manage to keep the classic landscape of Morrowind alive and refreshing, and the commentary itself reminds me of an experienced walkthrough or guide :)
I like how you are basically summoning golden saints into the world just so you can violently mug them of their belongings. Only for them to return to oblivion naked and traumatized.
I actually stumbled into almost this exact setup by accident, including the 1 second levitate + as much speed as possible for travel. I wasn't speedrunning, I just got tired of attacks with failure chances and decided to make a rocket launcher.
"You think you could do this with alchemy? Probably." I don't know why, but I found that line to be comedy gold. I think you just have good delivery with your jokes.
As a writer I have a deep appreciation for his script writing setting these up and then his delivery knocking them down. Script or not, his sentence flow is fantastic.
I remember you mentioned a default spells only run a while back and it is definitely an interesting challenge idea considering how often spellmaking comes up in most of these runs
Even most of the NPC mages use custom spells you can't buy off the shelf it feels like, so you wouldn't necessarily be on level ground to them like in Oblivion.
No lie, as a Morrowind fanboy these videos are literally the best. I'm a huge fan, and I hope that I get to see more soon! I think killing every god (Almsivi, Dagoth Ur and the luck-elf from Mournhold) only using skeletons would a god-tier video. Showcase the old "soul-trap permanent summon" glitch and rule the world with your skeleton army. Would donate for that tbh lol
I honestly thought that it was a reupload of the older JBN vid about breaking morrowind with alchemy. Glad it wasn't though, as it means more content from a favourite chanel
Hey JBN, your videos have been carrying me through tonight (July 4th) because fireworks stress me out. So I wanted to say thank you for uploading amazing and bingeable content. Keep up the great work!
So, I recommend doing the soul gem selling loop. What you do is buy soul gems from a merchant in tel mythral I believe its on of the telvanni settlements you can take a boat there. Then you cast a conjuration spell with a common soul which ancestral guardian works well for. Then once soul trapped to sell the soul gems to our friend Creeper in the orc house. Rince and repeat the process to get thousands of gold in a very short time.
My first enchantment was a ring that gave me a full set of summoned daedric armor and a weapon. My second was a set of gear for 100% chameleon that’s when I discovered I could talk to 6th house monsters and spent too long trying to talk to every npc on the map
12:35 adding multiple enchant effects in different orders will result in different total costs. I haven't done much extensive testing on this but from what I gather each effect's cost seems to be determined by the school of magic of the preceding effect. It might even be on a per-spell basis rather than school of magic, I haven't bothered testing enough to tell. For example a test I just did shows that applying "restore health 100 pts for 1 sec" followed by "poison 100 pts for 1 sec" has an enchant point cost of 95, while applying the same effects in opposite order results in a cost of 115, so my takeaway in general is that restoration spells should go before destruction spells. It might be worth testing this in-depth if ever you revisit this topic, or maybe there is some documentation on this already but I cba to do my research lol
the spells earlier in the list have a cost multiplier applied, so cheap effects should go first. poison has a base cost of 9, restore health has a base cost of 5.
This has fast become part of my weekly routine. Gotta love your comfy Morrowind blankets! P.S.: ooh, one little point of feedback: you might want to use a stereo audio track for your music. Sounds like it's all mono right now.
This is how I played the game, I always like being a trader/skills person in MMO's even if it's an afterthought in the game, so it kind of felt like what an OP craftsman would be to create/use god tier enchants as a source of power.
Wow, I broke Morrowind a bunch of times and I used constant duration Enchantments every playthrough, but I didn't know about that formula and how you just could spam balls of death like they were nothing. Fascinating Video.
Im my first (my current) morrowind run, i love to get around with the jump spell. I have enchants wit 33/ 75/100 jump (i think) its great, you should try it
Working as intended, that’s just the beauty of Morrowind. You can be whatever you want and your imagination was the only limit. Pre-youtube era you had to come up with game-breaking stuff on your own so it all felt valid and fair solutions.
Oh hey, you described my exact run from about a year ago. Funny thing, up until very recent versions of OpenMW, cast on use enchants stacked on top of themselves when spammed. So you could use something like Absorb Intelligence with an autoclicker and get up to around 80k+ish from one enemy. Also worked with stacking damage which was incredibly busted with Absorb Health. The best part is that I was able to instantly create top tier enchants out of thin air at will. Simply summon a Golden Saint until it had a Daedric Tower Shield, kill it with a spammed Absorb Health + Absorb Intelligence + Soul Trap ring, then loot the shield and use the soul obtained to make the enchant before the saint's body dissapeared and cancelled the absorbed stats.
Oh, and another word of advice; when boosting your own *walking* speed with Fortify, you want half of your spell effects to be Fortify Speed and half of them to be Fortify Athletics. If the number of effects is odd, have the extra effect be Athletics. I tested it and this is the best way to get fastest walking speed boost. For levitation, have every boost be a Fortify Speed; Athletics doesn't effect it.
Been watching your Morrowind videos for a bit and that licking lips animation finally convinced me to sub keep up the good content man I love your vibes and can't wait to see what you do next
Slowfall is pretty useful too. You can put it on a cheap ring with a cheap soulgem and make it 1 point for 1 second and it will never run out of charge.
I didn't realise I missed this one, watching it now - *gods* I love how hard you can break Morrowind 🤣 I always liked enchanting an Ebony Staff with +100% Weakness to Fire 2s in 50 feet and ~75 Fire damage for 2s in 50 feet. *That* felt broken (when it didn't reflect on me). And this is an entirely higher tier...
Splendid, I asked and I received, right in time for lunch too, you are easily my favorite morrowind youtuber and are overall really enjoying to watch, thank you.
I used an expesive amulet with constant effect Levitate 1 pt. and it worked for me throughout the game (mq, haven't done the expansions yet). It felt like the cheap (60%) flying mount from TBC, pretty cool. I had it hotkeyed, and swapped between that and another amulet with a constant effect of fortify speed, so that I could run when on the ground. For landing, my acrobatics got high enough that I didn't take much fall damage, so I would just hot-swap the amulet mid-air and it would work itself out somehow. Also, constant effect restore health and constant effect restore fatigue (even just a few points) are broken OP.
As an alternative there are some very useful low level enchanted items that make life easier without breaking the game to the point it's trivial. Most of them only cost one charge no matter how low your enchant skill is and that one charge will regenerate before the effect wears off. Because of this you can make them with a Petty Soul Gem filled with a Scrib or even a Rat's soul and using the cheapest enchantable items in the game. -Summon Bound Weapon 19 seconds. Not a lot of fights last longer than 19 seconds in the game to begin with and backing off for a second to recast it isn't that challenging. (If you want something a bit longer and you have 15 Enchant skill Summon Bound weapon for 29 seconds only casts two charge and will also regenerate before the effect wears off). -Soul Trap 12 seconds on target. Even fighting tougher enemies you can just chip them down until they've low on health then cast this and finish them off. -Restore Fatigue 39 point for 1 second. So long as you're just running along and not practicing your Acrobatics by jumping the charge will regenerate before the added fatigue runs out. -Water Walking 12 Seconds. This one you have to time just right but the charge will regenerate just as the effect wears off. -Water Breathing 12 seconds. Since this fully resets you breath gauge after it wears off you don't have to cast it very often. -Levitate 1 to 1 for 12 seconds. You'll be moving at a slow walking speed with this one but if you just need to get over a mountain range in the open world or up to a ledge in a dungeon or around a Telvanni tower this will get the job done. -Telekinesis 10 to 10 feet for 3 Seconds. This lets you trigger trapped doors and chests from a safe distance you can also steal from guarded containers by hiding out of sight around a corner. A step up you can also make Almsivi and Divine Intervention items. You'll need an Expensive Ring (not really that expensive and available from some general traders and most clothiers) and can even do this with a Scrib filled soul gem so long as you have 15 Enchanting skill to lower the cast cost. You'll only get one cast with a Scrib soul but the charge will regenerate with a couple of hours of rest so that shouldn't be a huge deal unless you're moving house;).
My first playthrough of morrowind I stole the some dreugh helm and enchanted it with the free filled grand soulgem from Galdibirs desk with a 5-5 fire damage on target and had a machine gun hat that I used to hunt Odrinators for stuff to sell to creaper for training.
I’m sure this story isnt true but I remember some green text talking about how OP enchanting was in Morrowind and it ended w the player getting one big hit on the big bad their juiced up mace and the damage was so high it caused the game to crash.
I doubt with your subscriber base you have the time/lack of life to read every comment. but you, this channel, your respect and knowledge of Morrowind lore, your dry, witty humour, cleverness, blatant (ab?)use of in-game mechanics, attitude, in 2024, still making fucking Morrowind videos after literally two decades, dude, you're cool. The proper, full extent of the meaning of that word. Cool. That's what you are. Love your content, literal tens of thousands of people do. Thank you. You entertain, you scratch that nostalgia itch, you do things that human people across this planet enjoy. Thank you, please continue.

I mean, you've got to contend with molochs of youtube popularity in that genre but there ain't a shadow of a doubt you're competent/good enough to do it right.
I dont know if its been patched but you used to be able to permanently fortify your attributes and skills by creating a spell with fortify skill or attribute for 1 second and cast soul trap for 2 seconds. you would cast it on your feet and it would increase the skill or attribute permanently.
I'm only about 6 minutes in but I have my own bit to add: Feren in Tel Branora sells the Conjure Golden Saint spell. Enchant something with a constant effect Summon Golden Saint, instant summon for free that can be soul trapped. To my knowledge, it's the most powerful soul available to be trapped, and paired with Azura's Star, that's infinite free souls for enchanting. Broken. EDIT: Less than a minute later, and he's buying the exact spell I mentioned. I am a smooth brain lol
The boots of blinding speed make me wonder - if you throw negative effects on items does it lower the overall enchamt cost? With 100% magic resist, can you push that to infinity? I have to assume no since that would probably be plastered to the front page on enchanting... Would have been pretty sweet though.

Because of this you can make them with a Petty Soul Gem filled with a Scrib or even a Rat's soul and using the cheapest enchantable items in the game.
-Summon Bound Weapon 19 seconds. Not a lot of fights last longer than 19 seconds in the game to begin with and backing off for a second to recast it isn't that challenging. (If you want something a bit longer and you have 15 Enchant skill Summon Bound weapon for 29 seconds only casts two charge and will also regenerate before the effect wears off).
-Soul Trap 12 seconds on target. Even fighting tougher enemies you can just chip them down until they've low on health then cast this and finish them off.
-Restore Fatigue 39 point for 1 second. So long as you're just running along and not practicing your Acrobatics by jumping the charge will regenerate before the added fatigue runs out.
-Water Walking 12 Seconds. This one you have to time just right but the charge will regenerate just as the effect wears off.
-Water Breathing 12 seconds. Since this fully resets you breath gauge after it wears off you don't have to cast it very often.
-Levitate 1 to 1 for 12 seconds. You'll be moving at a slow walking speed with this one but if you just need to get over a mountain range in the open world or up to a ledge in a dungeon or around a Telvanni tower this will get the job done.
-Telekinesis 10 to 10 feet for 3 Seconds. This lets you trigger trapped doors and chests from a safe distance you can also steal from guarded containers by hiding out of sight around a corner.
A step up you can also make Almsivi and Divine Intervention items. You'll need an Expensive Ring (not really that expensive and available from some general traders and most clothiers) and can even do this with a Scrib filled soul gem so long as you have 15 Enchanting skill to lower the cast cost. You'll only get one cast with a Scrib soul but the charge will regenerate with a couple of hours of rest so that shouldn't be a huge deal unless you're moving house;).
I just realized Sotha Sil survives during this playthrough
I'm a simple man, I see a JBN vid and am happy for 22 minutes and 50 seconds.
My first playthrough of morrowind I stole the some dreugh helm and enchanted it with the free filled grand soulgem from Galdibirs desk with a 5-5 fire damage on target and had a machine gun hat that I used to hunt Odrinators for stuff to sell to creaper for training.
probably the best nord vpn sponsor segment next to internet historians nord man
I’m sure this story isnt true but I remember some green text talking about how OP enchanting was in Morrowind and it ended w the player getting one big hit on the big bad their juiced up mace and the damage was so high it caused the game to crash.
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if it's true lol
I doubt with your subscriber base you have the time/lack of life to read every comment. but you, this channel, your respect and knowledge of Morrowind lore, your dry, witty humour, cleverness, blatant (ab?)use of in-game mechanics, attitude, in 2024, still making fucking Morrowind videos after literally two decades, dude, you're cool. The proper, full extent of the meaning of that word. Cool. That's what you are. Love your content, literal tens of thousands of people do. Thank you. You entertain, you scratch that nostalgia itch, you do things that human people across this planet enjoy. Thank you, please continue. Is there a chance you'll apply your weaponised follicle-free autism to Oblivion next? I mean, you've got to contend with molochs of youtube popularity in that genre but there ain't a shadow of a doubt you're competent/good enough to do it right.
I dont know if its been patched but you used to be able to permanently fortify your attributes and skills by creating a spell with fortify skill or attribute for 1 second and cast soul trap for 2 seconds. you would cast it on your feet and it would increase the skill or attribute permanently.
I'm only about 6 minutes in but I have my own bit to add: Feren in Tel Branora sells the Conjure Golden Saint spell. Enchant something with a constant effect Summon Golden Saint, instant summon for free that can be soul trapped. To my knowledge, it's the most powerful soul available to be trapped, and paired with Azura's Star, that's infinite free souls for enchanting. Broken.
EDIT: Less than a minute later, and he's buying the exact spell I mentioned. I am a smooth brain lol
Thank You So Much For Being You Backgound Noise❤❤❤❤
The boots of blinding speed make me wonder - if you throw negative effects on items does it lower the overall enchamt cost? With 100% magic resist, can you push that to infinity? I have to assume no since that would probably be plastered to the front page on enchanting... Would have been pretty sweet though.
14:45 I can't believe you've done this
the end "you think you can do this with alchemy?"
yeah..... int pot, int pot, int pot, int pot...... 5k into..... ENCHANT ALL THE THINGS!!!!! lol
i never knew about the multiple fortify health trick! neat!
