If you want to increase your sneak early before you leave the first dungeon who ever you sided with and get to the part with the bear, just sneak behind your helper and keep hitting them in the back they won’t get aggro towards you so you can keep doing it until it’s at a high enough level

About the armor, if you get the dark brotherhood gauntlets/gloves, you can get 30x damage and one shot everything. you can also get mehrunes razor from a quest line in dawnstar. and you can also get a sword from the dark brotherhood questiline (It's on a boat, I don't remember the name.) And you can stunlock every enemy and potentially one shot them. If this gets seen by anyone, I hope it helps.

[@drakemyers7017]

As I generally play a stealth based character in most of my playthroughs I can say with absolute certainty that the key skills you want to dump points in are Enchanting, Alchemy, Archery, Illusion, Sneak, Light Armor, and lastly Lockpicking. Fortifying your enchanting makes your gear better obviously. Alchemy is to give you advantages like healing, fortifying illusion, and of course poisons which are a staple in stealth as you will be relying heavy on them to get the maximum damage. Light armor is for the stamina regen and survivability. Archery is for thinning the heard and applying your poisons early in a fight. Sneak is for picking off enemies while remaining undetectable and getting maximum damage output. With sneak, Archery, and alchemy as well as boosts from enchanting, you can tackle legendary difficulty. Illusion is namely a very reliable tool to give you the edge while leveling sneak for muffle and invisibility but also for calm and fury spells. Stealth builds need utility that's why we need all these tools. But lastly is Lockpicking. You need to have access rather it be doors, or chests, and it's a nifty tool to have in later stages. However, I disagree with a few things here. First, as speech is a great skill, as a member of the thieves guild it can become irrelevant as you can bs your way out of crimes. It's only real use is with money which isn't hard to come by but can also be bypassed by, you guessed it, enchanting and Alchemy. Pickpocketing is generally only good for keys. The poisoner perk is handy but not essential. It's the carry weight you want mostly. Smithing isn't exactly good either besides arcane enchanting. Again boosts with alchemy and enchanting. But to each his own. But if I may make some tweaks. Aside from a handful of precise perks I mentioned prior, I would like to say instead of bound weapons, why not utilize the summons as a means of distraction to tank hits while you pick enemies off. Other tool I'd like to mention is runes. Traps are a good breaker when enemies do find you but stumble on a carefully placed rune by your feet. Also alteration is good for getting some extra armor but also for enemy detection. As for some other things, while elemental fury is good, slow time, aura whisper, and marked for death are what you want for stealth. On another note I'm mildy surprised becoming a vampire wasn't added simply for boost to illusion and sneak. The blade or woe and mehrunes razor deserved to be mentioned as they are great weapons. But also and lastly, if you decide to use the aetherial crown as a gear option, I'd recommend the Lady and Lord stone for regen and survivability

I have been looking for ages for a thief guide that was good this is the best one i found not gonna lie

[@David-ud9ju]

It's more of a mage build to be honest. No thief wants conjuration, or smithing or enchanting. Those aren't thief skills. Thief shouldn't even have light armour, one handed or arcery, but if you actually want to play the game a thief/assassin build should be: One-handed, Light Armour, Archery, Alchemy, Sneak, Pickpocket, Lockpicking, Speech.

[@GameVibzMason]

They enhance a thief because to get the best light armour you need smithing and thieves also go invisible in the game and Conjuration is just for bound bow archery is a thief skill

“it does not take very long to get your enchanting to 100” me: *does it for an hour and a half*

[@xananymous431]

I've calculated it took me 2 hours to get enchantment to 100 including punching a merchant.. Tip: Get the lover Stone so you'll lvl up all three skills and than get a gold ore and smelt it.. Than duplicate it along with gems.. Get like 676 gold ingots and 100 each of soul gems and then smiths some necklace and rings till you lvl up smiting to 100 and then used that rings that you craft should be around 1300+ to lvl up enchantments then sell it to endarie in radiant raimant solitude.. Should lvl up speech.. An with that you have lvl up speech, smiting and enchanting in one day.. Also you can lvl up Conjuration and illusion by putting both cast spell less on armour, amulet, rings and head gear..

[@clutchTU]

To make the transmute part go faster, you could also double enchant your restoration gear with alteration so that it serves both purposes

[@jacoblik6240]

I think the best race for a stealth build like this one is either a Wood Elf or a Khajiit. But let's be honest, you can make every race work in Skyrim.

[@dead4419]

best race for everything except summoning builds is orc.

By far the most valuable potion in Skyrim is garlic, salmon roe and nordic barnacle. Trouble is salmon roe and nordic barnacle are hard to come by. Unless you know where to look for them.

[@DwnRange]

The body of water outside Bronze Water Cave has around 20+ Nordic Barnacles, simply follow the entire shoreline looking both under the water and along it and playing as a Bosmer (Wood Elf) and using their Command Animal power is possibly the best and easiest way to harvest Salmon Roe ("if" you are playing on SE or have the DLCs) one shout properly timed and then picking them all up generally is far easier than catching them by hand or flaming them. Picking a potato and selling it to Katla there at her farm will get ya 9 re-spawning Garlic (as well as the multitude found at other farms, Dragon's Reach and a host of other locations).

@@DwnRange you can also use the duplication glitch to get 125 or 100 to get max level alchemy

Tip on duping.. i play to the point of getting breezehome in white run.. and get the nord lady in the pub ( beat her in a brawl) then i store things i want dupe (dragon bones ingots for arrows.. even a woodcut axe then dupe firewood) but i tend to do the dupe near the gaye in the little tower areas.. walk out of the main gate and back and it works.. saves fast travelling alot and can be done on survival

Worth making an alchemy set so that potions are worth more and then with the potions instead of simply shl ing them, you wait til you get the merchant perk and use trainers and sell back. Boosts levels and doesn't feel like a drag

[@joeynemeth6548]

Wym use trainers

@@joeynemeth6548 the trainer's that up your skills, once you can sell to any merchant you can up your skills fast and sell the potions back making it free leveling.

One way you can level lockpicking, and never have them break is you can join the thieves guild then when you get the skeleton key you literally have unlimited lockpicks because it never breaks.

18:06 Wouldnt it be useful to first create a set of armor with fortify alchemy because we already have enchanting 100🤔

as a thieve i highly recommand buying Fendrick's welcome as soon as possible,it makes you invisible for 5 secs allowing you to steal anything in front of people,insta unlocks every locks up to expert with no lockpicks required and also cost way less than invisibility to cast in case low on magika

Alchemy is undoubtedly the best skill in the game.
