later in the game when you get higher enchanting, you can make it so your spells cost 0 magicka haha.
and you can use other spells to boost your armor like stoneflesh and the perk that gives you 1-3x bonus from it.

I finally finished the main story-line and was sent back, and is that it? Do I not have to talk to anyone, I just proceed on with my side quests?

I've heard that you can make your spells cost 0 magicka before.. thats actually true?

So Blacksmith is up to 76

Working on making dragon armor/gear..

Tired of having the 20+ dragon pieces laying in my chest..

I sold all of mine, not thinking Dragon scales / bones would be used... lol

I just hunted enough to make dragon gear, but not enough to upgrade

dragon plate armor is ugleeeeeeeeeh

I like the look of it, based on the fact that it pimps out your dragon slaying prowess..

really dont like it, if i wasnt heavy i would go for scale but i went for daedric>

only thing i dont like about daedric is the elongated helm makes your head look like a bugs lmao

yup, you can get 4 pieces of armor, i believe chest, gloves, necklace, and one other piece then enchant it with w/e you use.

example: let's say you use destruction magic, you can enchant it with 25% reduce destruction magicka cost, on 4 different pieces and since it stacks (25+25+25+25) it becomes 100%, making it free.
odd way or working cause you would think it's 25% of original, then 25% of that and so on, but nope, it's combined, and same for other gear (lockpicking,sneaking,archery)

i've seen people with bows that do like 1000 damage (of course that's with potions and the sort, but still, i think the base was at least 200+)

that being said, you can also max out enchanting and put 2x enchantments on each piece, so you could possibly do 100% destruction + regen or +100% another spell like conjuration or restoration.
and with that you can pretty much use some flesh spell to boost your def so you aren't a twig during melee, and use the perk that boosts your flesh spells x3

that plus free spells means you can spam the hell out of them as well as use conjurations to create tanks for you.


as for heavy armor, daedric has a higher base, and kinda makes dragon heavy armor weaker (unless you like the appearance)
but for light armors, dragon offers the highest def possibly.

any chance stacking gets patched?
