Another great item you can get for stealth builds super early is the Amulet of Mephala in the temple in Raven Rock, gives the vanilla Skyrim 'muffled and moves silently' 100% noise reduction
It's Amulet of Mephala. Also get ring of surroundings from fishing bounties doubles sneak damage. There is ring of namira to feed on corpses. Also there are earring and piercing of mephala that are additional jewelery to be worn that are unenchanted.
Thanks a lot, this build is really fun to play. The Blade of Woe fits this build also really well, especially with the life drain it's very fitting and the Dark brotherhood lines up with RP for a nightblade anyway. The shrouded armor and later ancient shrouded armor is a really good intermediate set for this build before getting the daedric dawn mail. Also the Necromancers amulet is always nice when working with magic, especially as the mythic dawn armors regen effect more than cancels out the negative effects of the amulet. Mephala is a great alternative deity, increasing sneak attack damage even further at high favor and you get favor by performing sneak attacks from behine. So win-win here
@bertholdstegemann4475 yup all decent stuff. I think Melphala is a little overkill, i prefer the sustain Hermaeus mora gives. The builds only strong if you can cast things. Infact you can't cast Hidden Cobra without it, not enough cost reduction. as for jewelry I reserve those for resistances, you can't always rely on stealth, I prefer a rounded character.
@@RelentlessZen Totally fair point, might switch later as I max out on the stealth hits. I believe I'll still stick with Mehala as my previous pure mage char allready went with Mora and I'm going all in on the stealth to do things different.
Aside from my original comment great work on the build dude! You've definitely come a far way with this and it was great seeing the development in real-time! And it's been especially great to see Vampirism itself looking very flavorful in this modlist 🦇🦇.
Heard a rumor in the discord that taking off all your armor and clothes increases the odds for being infected with vampirism. I tested it myself and it took 15 minutes with all cloth and 3 minutes naked.
This is very well put together, well done! The only suggestion I have is to pause just a weebit on the perks and stuff so their text is readable for folks. But awesome job, looking forward to new builds!
Proudspire Manor has easy access to a closed-off vamp, but this vampire is notoriously difficult to provoke into draining you. She prefers using her shield for some reason and tends to get stuck in the ivy in the running animation. There is another vampire spot, that's not as convenient, but still quite easy to use - Broken Fang cave. It's right next to Rorikstead. In this cave there is a vampire that doesn't really aggro beyond the section it spawns in. You can also pull one of the vampires in that cave outside, where it will be very easy to kite. Just don't forget to sleep in a camp nearby to respawn.
I'm a little biased I don't like Modded Skyrim with a controller. it does have Support for it, the issue for me is there's just too many keybinds that it doesn't feel natural.
@@RelentlessZen ohhh that's so understandable, i might switch to keyboard just for a smoother experience if the binds make it feel that way, thank u for replying :)
@AddictwithAnEcho little tip for you: Press F11 in game to view a chart that shows all the default Keybinds Biggie set. If you alter anything it doesn't update the chart it's just a visual aid for newbies
Quick question. Once we have the build complete do we still need to use muffle, chameleon, invisibility before a fight if we cast nightfall? I'm just trying to figure out what we need to buff before engaging after build is complete. Thanks in advance. and killer build, my fav!
Depends on the fight, every little helps. It certainly does against the ebony warrior. Nightfall only casts the Shadow mage spells from Triumvirate so your other detection spells do stack
Additonal tips for a vampire nightblade join the thieves guild ASAP their armor gives you 40% bonus to sneak and while your doing jobs in other holds make sure to lethally drain guards to speed run your vampire life cycle to get better bonus's
how would you go about getting gather shadows as early on as your guide? join the dark brotherhood? as nelacar wont sell it without azura questline completion
Are you done with NOLVUS nowadays? This LoreRim 3.0 mod list looks sweet, but I like the ease of use with the installation NOLVUS modpack provides. Been using the Ascension V5 version and having a lot of fun with it.
@oni1608 wabbajack is just as easy , it's just a different autoinstaller. I'm not "done" with nolvus it's newest release is still a beta and I have no interest in playing something unfinished
Question, where does one actually get the "spell vouchers"? He doesnt simply have the dialogue option for me at the arcaneum, and I believe I've followed the live steps as best I can.
Just curious, but what about the guide allows your vampire to be out in the daylight? Is it feedings? It it something within a mod? I haven't used any of the "tweaks" mods, so just curious what might cause that.
@@greatcoldemptiness Spoken like an old person not liking that they are getting old. Every young generation has their own slang. Your parents thought the same of your generation's slang. Get with the times, gramps.
@@RelentlessZen Guess I just got unlucky then, I spent like 40 minutes trying to get infected with vampirism doing the cat n mouse (plus without clothes on) and I couldn't get it until I gave myself about 20 levels to test that theory out and I contracted vampirism in about 2 minutes. Not sure if I'm just very unlucky but probably best to check with some people from the Discord. 😆
Hey Zen, I'm trying to make a Skald, kinda like a Bard/Warrior Build. Going Nord ( for very obvious reasons), haven't choosen a god, I'm between Talos and Akatosh, and I think I'm gonna take the Lover Stone as my Birth Sign. But, can you give some advice of abilities, itens or other kind of stuff?
There are a few changes he added to the video description. Not much has changed since 2.x.x besides the Medical History / Biggie Perks and many one other thing I can't think of right now.
Biggie made it a lot harder to get Vampirism in one of his updates. Does that way in the Sewer still work or is there another way we can get Vampirism.
Sorry to bug you but I've followed to a Tee, have all the same perks and lvl 60 but hidden cobra costs over 1k mana to cast for some reason, am i missing something? Can't seem to get it as low as you have
Hey I don't know if you will reply. But here goes nothing, how do you find the right unique items and armor pieces for the builds? because I am planning to try and do my own builds.
Is it worth going for Lorerim over other modlists? The only one I tried so far was Nordic Souls, which was great but didn't wow me that much (I know its focused on being a Vanilla+ experience).
Depends what you want, Lorerim is built around Requiem which is a huge gameplay overhaul that changes a lot, makes the game feel much more rewarding and immersive but people who aren't used to Requiem often find it hard. Relearning the game can be a bit much for people. Personally I find it hard to play a modlist without it now.

@metalismychim6536 default Lorerim. Which is Cabbage.
It was so much fun watching you test this build live 🗣 Can't wait to play this build!! great work 👏

I was waiting for this video to drop so I could play this build!
Awesome video and guide and also excellent editing! Keep the vids coming!
Thsnk you! Bard-Barian should be fun!
Really looking forward to the Bard-barian build, keep up the quality work!
These build videos are exactly what I’ve been looking for. The Paladin was great, I’m stoked to try this one now. Keep it up brother
Great video man, I can tell you've put a lot of work in editing this. Awesome build, was a lot of fun watching it play out in real time on stream
Once again my friend, a stellar showcase of a badass build. Thank you for all the hard work! We appreciate you 👍
I wanted to come back and thank you for this build! I haven't had this much fun with Skyrim since it first came out!
Great video. I’m new to LoreRim and this build was really fun and enjoyable to play. The editing was good too
Another awesome build video. Thank you for all the work you put into these! The community appreciates it.

Absolutely fire!
You are awesome. This is amazing thank you for the lorerim build guide. I now know what my first character will be.
a work of art, can't wait to see the next one
Another banger Zen, was glad I could catch a couple of your streams on this!
This build is beautiful, although I’m not one to backstab or one shot, it’s a very helpful guide. Thank you.
love these builds. Can't wait for more. Its been fun watching the entire process from idea to execution in the streams too
More to come!
Heading over to Castle Dawnguard for the first time as a vampire always makes me laugh. Those tools can't tell you're a vampire? What professionals!
Went in there with a hood and because of that sun from the top I couldn't see myself as vampire either.
Been waiting for this since you released the preview!
Heard a rumor in the discord that taking off all your armor and clothes increases the odds for being infected with vampirism. I tested it myself and it took 15 minutes with all cloth and 3 minutes naked.
The best diseases always come when you're naked...
wait... whut...
FINALLY! Thanks Zen! Been waiting for this one!
I was watching the streams while waiting for this, finally 🔥🔥
Been waiting for this one!! Great job.
Very cool, as always! :)
Really enjoyed the streams and this incredible build!
Brother just doesn't miss. Thanks so much!
My pleasure

Thank you very much, the build is awesome and the video is amazing! Can you make an archer next?
Would you be able to do an updated starting guide for Lorerim 3.0 for players new to Lorerim/Requiem? Would be greatly appreciated
nothing really changed.

Those perks are for other absorb spells we use. Especially Cascading torment
@@RelentlessZen Ahhhh, gotcha! Thank you for clearing that up for me! Excellent video and thanks for all that you do for us!
