I had been using a Daedric Longsword looted from a shrine in the basement of St Olms. On the island where Dagon Fel is situated I then found a Daedric Katana in a smugglers' cave. A few minutes later I found the Iceblade of the Monarch in Rotheran, a two-handed monster which suits my human tank approach to the game perfectly - the heaviest armour, the biggest swords!! All I need now is some heavier armour, ebony is ok but I want more!

the super axe described here is so much better than any weapon in the game, except sunder and keening...got hose yet??

Not got Sunder or Keening yet, I'm still in the fairly early stages of the game, a puny level 18. I'm just about to max out my long blade skill, I think I will then start developing my axe skill. I've already paid for training to level 40 or so and I left a Daedric axe stashed in the shrine near Ald Velothi - bloody thing weighed in at about 72 lbs!!!!!! I'm also trying to develop my magic but I can't be bothered casting endless puny spells so I'm just looting everything I can find and paying the mages' guild for training. I haven't quite got the hang of enchanting weapons/items yet. I enchanted my Daedric longsword to paralyze on strike but that didn't seem to work too well, everything I hit resisted magic or died on the first blow. Maybe I need a golden saint soul and a grand soul gem to get the really good enchantments going? Best I have so far is a storm atronach soul.

daedric battle axes are great, but my current fav weapon is bound axe with +41 axe skill!!!!


its just as effective as sunder, and even gives umbra sword a run for the money...
in my opinion, the umbra sword is the best sword in the game...

it kills saints for harvest in 3 swacks...

go to tel brannora, and go all the way up to theannas room, a person in there can teach you summon saints spell, make an item, and while grand gems are hard to find, go do the azura star quest......

Thanks very much, I shall take your advice. In the meantime a reluctant Dremora Lord coughed up a Daedric claymore. Wow! How do I choose between that and the Ice Blade of the Monarch? I need a good reserve weapon (long blade skill 105 with belt of sanguine hewing) in case I come across anything I can't kill with my fiend axe and paltry skill - 51 and I cheated and bought training up to 50!! It's going to be hard to develop my spear, blunt weapon and shortblade skills, I shall have to find an awful lot of rats/scribs/etc to kill!!! BTW that Dremora Lord nearly killed me when I took him on with the axe.
