Throwing this out there for all of the new players as well as for any of us older players that may not know. There's a quest you can get to go and collect 20 Jazbay Grapes for a Dunmer woman that grows Nirn root. This is normally a painful undertaking as they are hard to find or buy. HOWEVER, if you listen to why she needs them, it gives you a clue where to find them in abundance. The thermal vents. Go to the region just south of Windhelm and You will find them growing everywhere. In and around the thermal vent area is a gold mine of Jazbay Grapes. Your welcome.

Anise, once you take over her cabin, is a great candidate to level up conjuration. Drag her corpse by her bed, and start casting soul trap on her. Instead of waiting one hour, you can sleep in her bed for one hour, get the "Well Rested" bonus, and keep casting soul trap on her. Also, using the barrels, cupboard, and satchel in the basement seem to be fine - they don't respawn like the upstairs barrels.

Solid walls, fully furnish rooms, an alchemy/enchanting tables with a plethora of potions and ingredients which you have to "steal" but should mean safe storage. The only downside is you are not able to sleep on the bed. Oh, and there's always a dragon outside if you started the main quest.

I knew almost all of these. Here is a tip: If you like to make all your armor color match, rename them with the color when you enchant them. Example: Black Daedric Armor and Black Mages Hood. That way you have all your armor color coordinated without having to wear the same in a set. Also, find a scroll of Magelight or Candlelight as early as possible (some merchants sell them). They are great for lighting up dark cave corners where chests can be hidden.

My most useful tip for any fellow loot hoarder that doesn't play with fast travel: get your hands on a resurrection staff as soon as possible, then simply kill some rabbit/ wolf/ bandit and stack them full with your mountain of loot. For whatever reason undead followers resurrected with staffs instead of the regular conjuration spell don't turn to ashes when their timer expires, so you can just keep on resurrecting your mobile loot truck and don't have to worry about dragging items or loot filled corpses all the way to the nearest trader. Also a useful tip for survival playthroughs/ people trying to get leather: casting the illusion spell calm on deer and their likes that can be hard to one shot early game on harder difficulty will stop them from running away from you letting you run straight up to them

Here’s a tip. when you have a follower you can make them pick up items and bypasses their weight capacity. You can make this much easier as well if you place items in a container that they can reach such as a chest barrel or drawer, when you put items in a container you can also make them take loot that is marked stolen. Also casting the “muffle” spell will level you up and you can save the perks for other skill trees. Find a bear or troll and block their attacks to level up block, get hit by enemies to level up your heavy or light armor, get a house and build a garden and greenhouse to farm potions, i farm paralysis because they can help you kill hard enemies, I carry around 30. That’s all I can think of 😅 hope it helps some people!

Very useful tips, even learned a few things and I'm not new comer to ES Skyrim. Somethings I like to add: 1. as he says: EXPLORE, the game is insane for sure just learn to change your current active quests so your not following 100 quest markers or get yourself confused by following the wrong marker. It took me awhile to figure this out my first playthrough, and keeping track of certian quests was confusing. 2. Get a player owned house/storage of some sort ASAP. You get ALOT of things in this game, you will want 80% of them, just not all the time at your current level/character progression. Saving these soul gems and ingredients in a player owned storage (chest inside your house) and amassing them for later on when you can mass produce and go sell them. You can store all of your regular dungeon gear inside a storage and travel with more items to sell. 3. As others have said, with the hearthfire DLC, get a house ASAP and start using the garden/greenhouse to grow your own ingredients, even for the long term just stockpile them. Its ridiculous money 4. Using skill trainer merhcants is an amazing way of "recycling" the money your paying to them for training back into your own hands by selling them loot. At level 50 speech you can unlock a perk to sell any type of good to any merchant, so those potions you made can be sold to a black smith etc. This is amazing to just hit up whiterun/felkreith etc. and clear all the merhcants of their gold even though your only trying to sell one type of item. Think of potions, iron daggers, loot amased from dungeons etc. 5. Try out "Role Playing" for after your first playthrough/character. The first character is all goofed and about exploring and figuring out how the game works, but when you clear the game a few times its fun to RP as a character, staying true to his/her's morales and ethic's while also bringing some realism into it. Example: I abuse alchemy on alot of my characters, but say I make a 2h orc berserker. Unless i want to, the idea of a berserking brute being well versed in magic, enchanting of gear, or brewing alchemy potions isn't common. They are known for their superb strength, and smashing things, I wouldn't use alchemy or any magic at all. This will make the game harder in alot of places, and even restrict your character from doing alot of content intended for those types of character classes but it brings something new to the game for people who've played a bunch.

3:14 Blue Mage Robes are worth 150 Septims, and at only 1 weight unit, are, like many enchanted clothing items, very valuable by weight. For that matter, almost any alchemy ingredient with an actual value are some of your best loot for cash. Getting Voice of the Sky is a lot of work; might as well just kill the critters and level up your combat skills, or just find and power up the Kyne's Peace shout. For baking, Heljarchen Hall (the Hearthfire home you build at the edge of the Pale) is the only home with a mill for making flour. You can grow Wheat in the garden and mill it for flour, if you haven't found enough in the various sacks and barrels of Skyrim. Selling Firewood to Hulda also makes Brenuin the beggar's quest absurdly simple. He asks you to *steal* a bottle of Argonian Ale for him, but once you're friends with Hulda, you can just take it. =^[.]^=

The effects this stone grants are nearly identical to the Conditioning perk in the Heavy Armor skill tree, the Unhindered perk from the Light Armor skill tree and the Extra Pockets perk in the Pickpocket skill tree.

More things: Using Unrelenting Force on a waterfall can, depending on your timing, kill salmon trying to jump up it. You'll have to go searching for the dead salmon though. Salmon harvesting is the only way to get Roe for alchemy use. Make sure not to use the shout too close to a city or the guards will become hostile. It also can get a letter delivered to you from "a friend" telling you about the location of a word wall. Using more shouts outdoors will increase the chances of a dragon attack when you approach a creature spawn point. Shock Auras can ruin a slaughterfish's day if it attacks you while swimming in the water. You can't use a weapon if your feet aren't planted and they swim away once you're on shore so this is a good solution. I'm not sure if the Aura works for salmon if you stand on a rock in the middle of a waterfall, but it might. I always think of testing this but never bother.

for the weight limit a couple more things: A) you can do better then the drop an item and carry it.. kill a small creature (rabbit, fox or wolf..) when you loot the corpse, transfer a bunch of your stuff, then you can carry the corpse by clicking it and holding the button for a second. unless they fixed it, you can put hundreds of items on even a dead rabbit and carry it, then with it. fast traveling or entering buildings may drop it tho. 2) Pets! there is multiple pets included in the AE pack or available in the CC without AE (no modding needed) one is always free, the dwemer mud crab, it only carries a little.. but the "pets of skyrim" and a few others can carry more weight, and most importantly, you get a Teleport spell to bring them instantly to you and they CAN NOT DIE.. summon (not conjure, it just teleports them to you) a pet even in a dungeon, give it as much as it carries and either tell her to go to town or house of your choice or travel with her AND the other pets. goat carries 140 (-1 for her pack) nix hound carries 75, bone wolf 200.. this is also a way to basically have a pickaxe and wood cutting axe on command instead of carrying one all the time freeing up 10 - 20 carry weight, give a pet one of each, then summon that pet when you need the pick axe or wood axee, use it and give it back. 3) you can gain 100 carry weight easily: get your pickpocket skill to 50, thru use and / or pay for training (the beggar in windhelm is one) 4) adding a point to stamina also increases carry weight.. i don't recommend it tho, magicka and health are SO much more important. 5) there is also backpacks added with AE (or with the CC) that add 75 to carry weight, possibly other bonuses (like 20 magicka) and they are found in a lot of dressers (you may want to sneak and take one or two... i'm sure you'll return it later) followers can use them as well. i still don't find carrying stuff worth less then 10 times it's weight worth it if you are just selling it, later on money is very easy anyway.

It is what is known as a "body bag" in Skyrim. It won't let you go through doors, however, but still very useful. At minimum you can drop the body outside the door and then slow walk the shorter distance in to sell the loot. Also sometimes if you're sprinting with the bag it can catch on something and go flying out of your grasp in a random direction. Bit annoying to go repelling down a cliff to recover it.

1. The first one is the most important by far. I have steady saves at various points in the game, more often than not, at the end of gaming when I return to my player home, unload all of my keeps (armor, items, etc.), and get rested. Those don't get saved over. And when I venture out again, I have 3-5 saves that I rotate though. I'll used the tilde key (~) and type SAVE "name". For me it's save through save 5, and I'll keep saving over them as I progress through the game. They're timestamped and appear in order so I know which one was used last. 2. Anise's cabin - there is a mod that makes the entire cell a home cell, so that all of the storage areas are safe. I used that place a long time, just because of the tables in the cellar. 3. Voice of the Sky also works on the vampires. No, it's not a bug. It applies to vampires, followers, and animals for 24 hours. This is particularly useful if you're doing a quest that you need to kill a single vampire, like the radiant quests, or if you're in a cave of vampires, which happens on some quests. For example, that quest with Laelette during the Laid to Rest quest? A lot of people try to figure out how to get around her so she isn't hostile? Voice of the Sky. 4. There is a mod to fix the homecooked meal bug where our spouse stops making them.

What that does is turn iron ore in your inventory into silver ore, and then silver ore into gold. It also levels alteration quite well. That way you can level a skill and then also get loads of gold ore which you can smelt into gold ingots. They can in turn then either be sold for a high profit, or smelted into gold rings/amulets at a forge, which levels smithing really quickly 🤣

I chop wood until I earn enough money to buy Windstad Manor. I make Lydia my Steward so that I have both Vorstag and Lydia guarding the home. If you put a circular table in the kitchen, and also add a fish hatchery, you can earn a ton of money by crafting potions. On the table is salmon roe which you can place in the hatchery. When you Fus the salmon, you get more roe, and when combined with a couple of other ingredients, it creates the most expensive potion available. Sell the potions to earn money for whatever you need. Buy a bottle of Honningbrew Mead. If three drunk men want to have a drink, offer them your Honningbrew, and they will give you a necklace of Fortify Carry Weight. I try to get the Volsung mask ASAP because it has the most useful enchantments early in the game - prices are better, can carry more, and can breathe underwater. You can pray at a shrine to remove diseases, so you can save money on cure disease potions. I do buy the disease immunity necklace before I start the Dawnguard quests, but it becomes unavailable after a certain level, so buy it as soon as it is available. Arvak is a horse from Dawnguard you can call by a spell, and he doesn't take up room when you don't need him, or get lost or killed. Near Whiterun is Halted Stream Camp where you will find the transmute ore spell and you can change iron into gold for making money if you want to make jewelry to enchant. Don't grind alchemy, enchanting, and smithing, and forget about the other skills, because the enemies level up with you. If you're level 20 because of all of those other things, but weak in actual combat skills, it won't be good. The best advice I can give to new players is to create a character that is fun for you, and play however you want to play. Don't try to do every questline if that isn't that character's personality. If they aren't a cold blooded killer, have them reject the Dark Brotherhood. If they aren't a thief, don't join the Thieves Guild. A different character on another playthrough can do those things. Also, there are ways to break quests by discovering things too early, or by clearing things too early. Don't discover anything off the beaten path of Dwarven design near Markarth, or it will stop your ability to begin a certain side quest. I know there are also another couple of bandit camps that come up in the random quests from the blacksmiths, etc. that can mess with main questlines. It's best to do the main questlines to a certain point before accepting the smaller quests. You can also reload the game to before accepting the quest, speak to them again, and a new location should pop up. You may have to wait 24 hours before speaking to them again to get a new quest location.

You've got the follower extra carry weight one but theres a much better way. If you're in a dungeon dump everything in a chest or corpse and tell him to loot it, he will collect it all so you don't have to drop indivdual items and spend ages telling him to pick it up. This works extreamly well in dwarven dungeons to make the ingots from dwarven components. You can get 300+ dwarven ingots in a single run. Makes smithing a breeze. This also means you can move everything in one house to another quite easily but theres a bug with that where everything he takes gets marked as stolen. If you repeat the loot chest action with all marked stolen items it marks them unstolen. That works for actual stolen items too.

Where ever you see dragonflies on water there are fish below. And if underwater, you see fishes, there are dragonflies above. Great for getting alchemy ingredients. Just lazily float down the river to whiterun.

I really hoped this was going to be tips for people new to Anniversary edition, or tips related to anniversary edition in general. While I didn't know much about Anise's cabin, the others are all generically good tips for players new to Skyrim in general, not existing players new to anniversary edition.
@mike-thegamingdad10 ай бұрын
Yeah thats fair, anniversary edition is mostly a collection of bolt on additions like weapons, armor, homes etc. And I've done separate guides on all of those. I put AE in every video I've done more as a reference to which version I'm playing, rather than to state its AE specific content each time. Most of my videos will contain some of it, but not every one. You'd be surprised the amount of "this isn't in my game, why you using mods" I get almost daily still even with it in the title 😅

Ill throw in my lockpicking tip here. Cause i still see people struggle to lock pick. Use the image in the background as a sort of "gauge" Find the sweet spot and pick something in the bacjground image as reference, now you know exactly where you were before it broke, and can get a good idea of how much farther to move it. The harder the lock, the further down the pick you look You can pick master locks at 15 with a handful of pick

Even better tip lol hoard lockpicks! They dont weight anything so you can have 200+. Not to mention the skill increases evertime they break and if you crouched and hidden it doesnt matter cause no one even knows your there. Though I have the skeleton key right now so I cant break picks to get the skill up sigh. Every other lock is master now ugh.
@Anthoninoatletico2 ай бұрын
Also: save before attempting lockpicking, then know that every time you enter the lockpick ui, it resets, so you can do this infinitely while just not dragging around the lockpit but trying in the starter position all the time until it's set there.

You can tell your companion to take everything in a chest or barrel. They have unlimited carry capacity this way.

common bug it seems that will happen: all the container stuff will be marked as stolen. Still you can undo that by unloading everything and having the follower pick it up one by one.

Saving games. The original was so "single player" that multiple members of the household could not save theri own "special" games. I wrote a silly little batch file (ouch with no error handling.) that would change the name of the default "SAVE" FOLDER and swap it out for a SAVE Folder with YOUR name on it. Just renamed the folder, nothing more. Then, after running the batchfile all of YOUR saved games would be there. You had to run the batch file at the end to get it to change the SAVE folder back to YOUR name. It really worked. Skyrim, when it came out, was pushing the envelope of computer hardware so hard that a lot of folks had issues with loosing progress when the game crashed.

You get as much time as you like to rename your item. The clock stops at the text screen.

Sounds like a headache 🤦 wouldnt want Frost to die and not be able to go back since he attacks anyone that being hostile ugh. Sometime I just leave him far far away from where Im actually going lol. Imagine playing for hours you die and those hours are wasted, do you disable auto save 🤔 is that a thing 🤨.
