the best weapon?

Post by DarkAngel »

Hi i am a lvl 21 assassin and have a question. should i use my ebony claymore with 25 frost dammage, or a daedric longsword with 25 fire dammage and use it with a elven shield wich gives me 12pts to my blade skill, or is there a better weapon i should have?

i believe the umbra sword is one of the strongest in the game, if you search around other forums it might tell u where to find it, i believe u have to kill umbra the sword holder and then u take it. it has the ability to soul trap and is a strong sword.

Umbra's sword is a longsword that can Soultrap on hit. With blades at 100, it deals 30 damage, as opposed to a daedric longsword's 28. You can find Umbra in the Ayleid ruin of Vindasel, south of Imperial City near that bridge landmark.

The best and most damaging sword i found is a 1 hander called goldrend (or something like that) from one of the daedric shrines

Probably Goldbrand. It was my favorite weapon in Morrowind. I heard it was here as well, means something to look forward to.
And He whispered to me in the darkness as we lay together, Tell Me where to touch you so that I can drive you insane; tell Me where to touch you to give you ultimate pleasure, tell Me where to touch you so that we will truly own each other. And I kissed Him softly and whispered back, Touch my mind.

hey ill start a new thread for this, but it is kinda important......umbras sword is actually a quest item that your supposed to retreive for the daedra Clavicus Vile...u can choose to give or not give it to him once you have it in exchange for the mask of clavicus vile(which is pretty crappy)...but if u dotn give it to him then he ****s with you for the rest of the game...e.g. totally random events that kick you out of your guilds(and i mean all of em) for stealing or something..but they keep happening over and over, and it gets to be a pain in the ass when u want to get back into them....just a fair warning to everyone that wants this umbra....or u can not do the clavicus vile shrine and get it on your own anyway...

Alone, Umbra is the best sword. But since you can't encahnt it, I prefer a Daedric Lonsword or Claymore. You can enchant those with Soul Trap and a whole lot more, versus just soul trap.

If you're level 20+ and haven't finnished the main quest, Cruelty's Heart is pretty powerfull.

Chillrend you mean? Looks like a short glass sword but is icy blue? That was my companion for days, until I made my own, pretty good weapon non the less.
