The silver armor has to be the coolest of them all. While I appreciate the alternatives to existing armor classes, seeing all new armor is exciting. We are kinda lacking in unique armor classes outside of faction gear.
You're making it complicated. Do the quest. Break the sets down to acquire the enchantments. Enchant whatever armor you want as many times as you want with smithing.
During the Masser Ring mission I had the craziest turn of events. Out of nowhere, a frost troll shows up, then another, then another, and followed up with a random vampire who came in as an invisible attacker for no apparent reason. I thought it was legit part of the encounter because the ring was so good.
I think the reason that the dwarven plate doesn't have gauntlets or a helmet is to go with the helmet from forgotten seasons and the wraithguard gauntlets. Also Skyrim couriers are fearless to make a delivery while the person is being attacked by a LITERAL DRAGON
It might also be because in Elder Scrolls Blades there's no normal dwarven armor, so the dwarven plate just re-uses the same helmet and gauntlets from Skyrim.
In my recent playthrough I grabbed the Visage of Mzund from the Dwarven Ruin on Solstheim and Sunder/Wraithguard, which were added in the anniversary edition as well. Both of those have Daedric-level armor ratings and with the ancient knowledge boost to Dwarven Armor, the set works great for endgame gear. I also used Spellbreaker until I advanced far enough in the college to get Keening and dual wield it with Sunder.

Personally I feel like the variant armors should have a greater warmth rating than the originals given that they usually have more covering to them or are a furred variant. Like the iron armor in vanilla Skyrim has no sleeves, but the iron plate has a thick padded shirt with long sleeves under the iron armor.
I was assaulted by a bandit chief in full dragon plate armor at level 27... I haven't "activated" the dragons yet, so I've no clue where he got the bones from. I also find it quite funny, that you can start the quest for the deadric armor at level one, while the ebony quest is level locked.
It is level locked now. A month or two ago, I started a new Skyrim playthrough, and had the ebony plate creation (it was free for the week). I got it really early (around lvl 5), but the quest glitched, so it never registered me getting the armor. Tyra's corpse is still waiting for me to go get it, even though said armor has been chilling in my armory for ages.
Just goes to show that some of the creation club content has better polishing and pieces than others where is just slaps in the content no matter what level you are.
Before you could do all creation club at your own discretion, now some of it is more balanced and more balanced when you can get it. It still is pretty pay to win.
I dont like how nearly every "light" variant looks to be heavier and more protective than the original or heavy variants, the dwarven and deadric are perfect examples
A little addendum to the "Bones for a Crow" quest: You can go directly to Arcwind as soon as you get the quest and snag the armor. The Forsworn won't be there, only the Draugr. Effectively you can get the quest from the inn keeper in Riverwood as soon as you start the game, then go directly to Arcwind point and have Dragonbone Armor at level 1! I have tested this, it works. Granted you wont get the enchanted loot from the Forsworn and Alvasor, but it's forsworn and Falmer gear... several tiers below Dragonbone.
the dwarven sets are honestly my favorite visually. Dwarven plate works very well with sunder and wraithguard while also running the helm of Nchuak. The dwarven crown from forgotten seasons, or rather those masks in general, also work.
Decided to do a good ol Nord build doing Heavy Armor, 1 Hand and Block. While doing the intro mission to join the storm cloaks at like lvl 25 I found a full set of Insulated Dragonplate armor on a bandit chief I killed. Was a hard fight but I've been a tank the rest of this playthrough!
I love playing as an archer, and have used the ranger set early game, though I haven't yet done the quest for the enchanted set. I'll be doing that early game now. The heavy armors are great for my tank followers, usually Lyida. Despite how functional they are, Dwemer and Dragon Armor look awful on Lydia, so I rarely use those heavy armor styles for her. This last playthrough I've had Lydia and Sofia, and they play well together, and are like twin wrecking balls. Sofia likes light armor too, so we often wear the same or similar armor I craft for her with suitable enchantments.
Haha. I’ve been watching you for awhile... Your guides are always entertaining and they help out a lot! Just wanted to say thanks for sticking with us and helping us all of these years!
literally took me 20 minutes to find this video, but three of the words in the title matched my search terms.. leaving a comment and a like for the algorithm.
I like that they're using locations that didn't have quests previously. I always wondered what was up with Reachwind Eyrie as I'd never discovered or heard about any quests in the special edition. I wonder if I can convince my sister to get the anniversary edition...
There needs to be a patch to stop the better armors from spawning on bandits at lower levels. I was coming across chiefs with full dragon armor at like level 25.
At first I felt like that but you are the Dragonborn! The fact that some people have better armor than me just adds to the chaos that is the elder scrolls
The only thing that's a little disappointing is the Ring of Masser, Tyrant's Bane, Namira's Itch, Dragonbone Mail and Dismal Gaze didn't have unique models. Just like the Thane Weapons =/. Still I do like their inclusion in this armour-focused DLC.
@@meinebosma I'm looking at the Dragon Insulated Armour and the Dragonbone Mail side by side and cannot spot the difference excluding the enchantments.
I did a play through for all the cc content, and I just gotta say it’s really good for melee type characters. Insane amount of heavy armor and one handed and two weapons and hardly any bows and light armor. Pretty much the only spells added are conjuration summons and 1 destruction spell that has a bunch up upgrades.
While i was up near that dungeon during the mythic dawn quest, i happened upon that insulated dragonplate armor at that tower without doing any of the other stuff. If i recall correctly, I'm not sure that i was able to get the enchanted stuff off the enemies though
The enchantments on the armors from the quests is randomized and related to your level. It’s best to knock one out early cause you’re more likely to get the rare muffle enchantment which only spawns frequently at low levels. The enchantments are determined when the quest is started, so make sure to make a hard save before starting it until you get the enchantment you want.
I am playing an heavy armored Mage with shield (most spells are sommoning until now, but I am still Lv. 19 so far) and I think the Ebony Plate looks just beautiful
Chiliad Garbology, another job well done. I like the look of this vid a lot btw, AND it will come in handy when I get my head out of M.E. and play this again.
Probably but man I tried to rush through this quest and died 12 times just trying to get there on adept difficulty at lvl 12 also when I got to the tower you had to get through to get to the quest I died like 25 times and leveled up 3 times and I still don't have it so yah I guess it's easy for some higher lvl players that don't want to grind smithing
@@xxvii9598 it doesn't though is the funny thing also what i been doing is getting the legion and storm cloak champion armor at like level 1 to level 4 XD
@@Ilzhain I know but TBH even without so.e.of the quests like the insulated dragon armor is kind of hard when I did it with a level 15 guy on like the 4th hardest difficulty I had a death lord attack and the forsworn and a dragon at 1 time LOL
I haven't really had the chance to explore these yet, but I will tell you my favorite loadout that I've created for Skyrim SE: it consists of the black mage hooded scarf in the Leather category (for armor stats) + mask (this and an unarmored version of the hood can be found in the miscellaneous category) included in the black mage armor mod, which is available through the in-game mod list (possibly Vortex too, haven't checked), the full vampire armor set specifically the black variant (enchantments and vampire race change are optional, don't change with the hood equipped it will most likely screw up your hair and make you permanently bald), the antique silver sword and nordic scrimshaw bow from immersive weapons (Vortex only mod) and the Thalmor seeker arrows (I don't remember which mod those were from sorry).
You should do bittercup's quests next. It has 3 vastly different quests with 3 vastly different rewards depending on which of the 3 choices you choose. Interestingly enough the new ridiculously overpowered nord mage follower is named Rulnik Wind-Strider(Who has a level cap of 75 much higher than anyone from the vanilla game!) maybe he is a relative of Bjormund from the insulated dragon plate armor quest?
I could definitely see my Orc Dual Wielder using that Ebony Set. The enchantments, fashion, & base stats would probably serve me well for most of my playthrough, if not all of it if I felt like it. It does fall a bit short when compared to higher tier armor with custom enchantments in the end game once Alchemy, Smithing, & Enchanting are maxed, but few armor sets will be able to beat this before you get there.
Didn’t even know about this was an addition on the ps4! Started playing again once my mate got into it after years of saying he hated Skyrim! He’s a chef and it’s usually me asking him advice but for once he was messaging me. I knew the addiction had settled in once I started getting messages at 3 in the morning asking how to get his smithing up quick and wether or not it was a good idea to do the rebellion before or after and then had a whole debate with him one evening about who was better in the rebellion. He now thinks it’s better than Witcher which was his favourite game and so, feeling inspired. I loaded up a Ranger play through I had started, I play a couple characters out of Helgen and decide what their traits are while escaping so when I load it up I know what play style I wanted to do if I get bored of another character. Once I got to a forge to make some gear up I was instantly taken by the scout armour, boots and gloves are a bit clunky so paired them with the leather boots and hide brawler gloves and love the result. This excitement around the game created by all of this is the kind of stuff I remember Skyrim being about when it first launched as well as the dlc’s! It has become a meme about the games history with rereleases but with all the updates and mod content available now I’m actually gealous of my friend and what he gets to experience playing it for the first time😂
Nice video, you sir got a thumbs up! My favorite armor of the whole lot is the Stahlrim Fur armor, after that the Dragonbone Mail (particularly the one from the quest with full resistance to fire), and finally just for how cool it looks the Silver Armor. They should have made versions for Dragonbone Mail, Stahlrim Fur and Silver brawler gauntlets, if only for how badass they'd look!
I used ebony plate at first but now mainly silver armor. This is mainly due to creating a paladin style character and silver armor fits that motif best
Honestly I play with them all. BUT I think my favorite thing is I completed by Crimson Dirk book collection as well. I just wish there was a glass alternate armor. Oh well thanks for all the wonderful help
I like the silver the best. I wish there was a silver shield, but I use other ones that sort of match, like banded iron shield, the dawnguard rune shield, or the shield of ysgramor. And I love matching those with the silver swords, too
I'm planning a vampire hunter with the silver armour and duel weald silver swords and silver crossbow what race would you recommend, I'm got a strong feeling with a wood elf or redguard
The Daedric alt armours are amazing --- but I'm partial to daedric armours in general. What is ironic though, is that the new light daedric armour looks heavier than the new heavy daedric.
For the Daedric mail armor for the matching set perk removal you must install Ordinator-Perks of Skyrim mod.Than it makes sense the set!Also i just found two armor sets what isnt in this video.The crusaders heavy and light armor and the enchanted ebony spellknight armor.Crusader got no story,but the Spellknight got story starting in Markarth in one of the rooms on the table is a notes.Knights of the crypt.
I was mostly excited for dwarven light armour but the legs, hands and helmet look way to heavy themed still. Ended up going back to heavy and using the spellknight armours (also anniversary). They look and act amazingly well.. plus the name itself is reminiscent of the elder scrolls vibe.
I've been watching you for almost two years now you're amazing I love your videos especially you new vegas playthroughs I learned so much, thank you you're amazing
I bought the daedric plate armor mission from the creation store thing and after I completed it, my plate armor got taken away randomly but kept the normal daedric armor, as well as having different enchantments on it from the enchantments in the video
I think just the heavy daedric pieces might be. They did display proper suffixes like random magical loot, but other alternative sets didn't do that. After thinking on it awhile, maybe all that comes with the Daedric plate is randomly enchanted.
If you look at the boots you actually find in the video shown, they have the carry weight enchantment, not muffle. I also got carry weight. The search for muffle continues. Might want to update your video so as not to get other peeps hopes up.
I stumbled onto Bones For A Crow by accident. I was on a totally separate quest which brought me in sight line of the tower. I thought that it was part of my ongoing quest so I dropped a pair of summons from a distance, started sniping and as I dropped down to onto the balcony to continue sniping it announced "Completed: Bones For A Crow" 😂 I only discovered, right now, in this video, where that quest even came from. I had run around all over the place trying to find it's start point.
Just wanted to give you a friendly reminder: I was able to start the quest for Stalhrim Fur and get the armor before doing the Dragonborn Questline and the Stalhrim Quest.
The Dragonbone Mail isn't even technically unique, it actually has a slightly different model than the normal Insulated Dragon Plate armor, with the Dragonbone Mail having that dragon skull, which the normal armor doesn't have. Just a little interesting thing I don't think a lot of people notice!
something I've always played was a homebrew I named "barbarian". light armor, two handed (sword specifically for a more conan style as opposed to the more obvious choice greataxes) archery, sneak, and smithing, and I've always tried to go for "savage" looking armor, I like the studded dragonscale for my build. haven't enchanted it and don't know if I will for rp reasons.
You also have to complete the quests to make the armor start spawning naturally in the world and added to lootpools, so you’ll see NPCs wearing them too.
I've not done the iron quest, yet those parts frequently come up in loot pools I also got hold of the leather armour early, again with having not done the quest Same with silver, orcish plate, so on and so on
The enchantments on the deadtic plate are random and the deadtic male does benefit from all perks both while wereing the helmet and while not whereing anything else with an armour rating in that slot meaning you could still where the atherial crown and get full benifits
I personally love the silver, iron, and steel armor, but a shame that there aren't any new silver weapons and that the silver sword/greatsword can't be tempered Also, I see that some have seen bandits with deadric and dragon armor, but I have yet to see any with such and I so hope they have the armor and weapons, just to make it like oblivion again
At 2:03? Those are the Brawler's Steel Gauntlets that you can get from Adrianne sometimes with Anniversary Edition. You can craft the unenchanted ones as well!

Nice video, you sir got a thumbs up! My favorite armor of the whole lot is the Stahlrim Fur armor, after that the Dragonbone Mail (particularly the one from the quest with full resistance to fire), and finally just for how cool it looks the Silver Armor. They should have made versions for Dragonbone Mail, Stahlrim Fur and Silver brawler gauntlets, if only for how badass they'd look!
This video is awesome and extremely helpful
Will you be making a video on the Artifacts in the free Fishing creation?
Possibly! Have you been looking at my notes by chance?
@@CaedoGenesis Sorry, can't say. Trade secrets. Love your content, been watching since the Fallout 3 guides
I used ebony plate at first but now mainly silver armor. This is mainly due to creating a paladin style character and silver armor fits that motif best
Yeah, and since the silver armor had robes and a mage hood it perfectly captures the battlemage or spellsword aesthetic.
Honestly I play with them all. BUT I think my favorite thing is I completed by Crimson Dirk book collection as well. I just wish there was a glass alternate armor. Oh well thanks for all the wonderful help
which armor set was your favorite and why silver?
25:22 finding this body when looking for words of power and I was confused why it was there XD
God I fell in love with the silver armor for my holy monk character. Never going for anything different
I love that you can just upgrade any armpit set to broken extents so you can literally use any armpit you want at any point in the game
I love how your auto correct changed armor to armpit. Hilarious.
@@celuiquipeut6527 lmao I didn’t even notice
@@bbjynx1036 please don't edit
You just made my day thanks thats funny
From what I have seen in terms of style and benefits, the Ebony Plate armor will be my go to armor set.
The spell knight armor is cool.
I'll never understand why the INSULATED Dragonplate armor doesn't have a higher warmth rating than the standard set.
I like the silver the best. I wish there was a silver shield, but I use other ones that sort of match, like banded iron shield, the dawnguard rune shield, or the shield of ysgramor. And I love matching those with the silver swords, too
I'm planning a vampire hunter with the silver armour and duel weald silver swords and silver crossbow what race would you recommend, I'm got a strong feeling with a wood elf or redguard
@@james739123i know I'm a year late but probably red gaurd
I'm a Silver Armor boi. I went out of my way to get that one early because it looks like a cross between Goblin Slayer and Oscar of Astora.
The leather scout with hide brawling gauntlets, mad witcher vibes lol
The Daedric alt armours are amazing --- but I'm partial to daedric armours in general. What is ironic though, is that the new light daedric armour looks heavier than the new heavy daedric.
To quote Pokemon, I'm goning to collect them all!!! I'm a armor NUT I love getting armor and making new gear! Love it. Thank you
For the Daedric mail armor for the matching set perk removal you must install Ordinator-Perks of Skyrim mod.Than it makes sense the set!Also i just found two armor sets what isnt in this video.The crusaders heavy and light armor and the enchanted ebony spellknight armor.Crusader got no story,but the Spellknight got story starting in Markarth in one of the rooms on the table is a notes.Knights of the crypt.
I was mostly excited for dwarven light armour but the legs, hands and helmet look way to heavy themed still.
Ended up going back to heavy and using the spellknight armours (also anniversary).
They look and act amazingly well.. plus the name itself is reminiscent of the elder scrolls vibe.
On the way to crowstooth there will be a dragon regardless of if they’ve been activated from the main quest
I've been watching you for almost two years now you're amazing I love your videos especially you new vegas playthroughs I learned so much, thank you you're amazing
I bought the daedric plate armor mission from the creation store thing and after I completed it, my plate armor got taken away randomly but kept the normal daedric armor, as well as having different enchantments on it from the enchantments in the video
I really was feeling the story behind the silver armor. Really felt for her.
The enchantments are sort of random btw. The daedric boots did not have muffle but carry weight instead. I was level 24 when doing the quest. 21:13
I think just the heavy daedric pieces might be. They did display proper suffixes like random magical loot, but other alternative sets didn't do that. After thinking on it awhile, maybe all that comes with the Daedric plate is randomly enchanted.
If you look at the boots you actually find in the video shown, they have the carry weight enchantment, not muffle. I also got carry weight. The search for muffle continues. Might want to update your video so as not to get other peeps hopes up.
I stumbled onto Bones For A Crow by accident. I was on a totally separate quest which brought me in sight line of the tower. I thought that it was part of my ongoing quest so I dropped a pair of summons from a distance, started sniping and as I dropped down to onto the balcony to continue sniping it announced "Completed: Bones For A Crow" 😂 I only discovered, right now, in this video, where that quest even came from. I had run around all over the place trying to find it's start point.
Thanks so much for this guide
Thanks for the great Video, it helped me so much.
Just wanted to give you a friendly reminder: I was able to start the quest for Stalhrim Fur and get the armor before doing the Dragonborn Questline and the Stalhrim Quest.
Also I like the Stalhrim Fur from the Alternative armors but my fav. Armor is probably Madness from Saints and Seducers
11:15 there are few things more hilarious and horrifying than a man phasing through a door like that
The Dragonbone Mail isn't even technically unique, it actually has a slightly different model than the normal Insulated Dragon Plate armor, with the Dragonbone Mail having that dragon skull, which the normal armor doesn't have. Just a little interesting thing I don't think a lot of people notice!
Neat!
The Dragonbone Mail is an artifact, also known as the Dragonbone cuirass in Morrowind.
I love the silver armor I just feel like a knight with that armor
something I've always played was a homebrew I named "barbarian". light armor, two handed (sword specifically for a more conan style as opposed to the more obvious choice greataxes) archery, sneak, and smithing, and I've always tried to go for "savage" looking armor, I like the studded dragonscale for my build. haven't enchanted it and don't know if I will for rp reasons.
You also have to complete the quests to make the armor start spawning naturally in the world and added to lootpools, so you’ll see NPCs wearing them too.
I've not done the iron quest, yet those parts frequently come up in loot pools
I also got hold of the leather armour early, again with having not done the quest
Same with silver, orcish plate, so on and so on
There are also netch leather armors, with a set of unique painted on the Reikling island off the coast.
Definitely gonna make a black iron tarkus outfit with the iron armour
you opening the bannerd mares door and jon just appeared was fitting for anniversary edition
Incredibly helpful video! Thank you!
I actually got the enchanted dragon plate very early on by accident lol haven't taken it off since.
The enchantments on the deadtic plate are random and the deadtic male does benefit from all perks both while wereing the helmet and while not whereing anything else with an armour rating in that slot meaning you could still where the atherial crown and get full benifits
I remember stuming across the Dwarven Plate armor without starting any quest. It seems the set is there regardless
Awesome video man,appreciate it.
I personally love the silver, iron, and steel armor, but a shame that there aren't any new silver weapons and that the silver sword/greatsword can't be tempered
Also, I see that some have seen bandits with deadric and dragon armor, but I have yet to see any with such and I so hope they have the armor and weapons, just to make it like oblivion again
I wish the Silver Hand wore the Silver Armour
What gauntlets are you wearing with the spikes? They look cool
At 2:03? Those are the Brawler's Steel Gauntlets that you can get from Adrianne sometimes with Anniversary Edition. You can craft the unenchanted ones as well!
@@CaedoGenesis def gonna make those for my unarmed character. Thank you!
23:36 you can just go to the very end and get the armor without doing the quest and it still has all the enchantments
DAMN THE STEEL SOLDIER HELMET IS THE SAME WORN BY ROYAL SWORDSMAN IN DARK SOULS 2
23:36 The first time I tried to do this Quest the NPC with the Armour just did not appear.
