Hey Wizard's, hope you enjoyed the vid! 🧙‍♂️ This one was a good long while in the making and I sincerely thank you for your patience 🙏 What is your favourite Black Book Power? 📖 *FAQs* 👇 Q: The Waking Dreams power that allows you to reset all your perk choices in a skill tree for a dragon soul, does not do the "exact same thing" as making a skill Legendary? 🧙‍♂ I realised after re-watching the video that I may cause some confusion here, and I apologise. I added some text (top right) directly after what I say (referring to making a skill Legendary) in an attempt to clear things up: "Well... slightly different: allows you to level up again to gain even more perks." While this is true, it's still pretty vague as to what making a skill Legendary actually does. Legendary definition: Once a skill has reached 100, it can be made "Legendary." This resets the skill back to level 15, and refunds any Perk points that were spent in that skill tree. Before making skills Legendary was a thing, Waking Dreams was essential to redistributing a limited supply of Perk points, as back then, the maximum level that could be attained was 81. At this level, fully unlocking all skill trees was not possible as there was an insufficient amount of Perk points. You had to be careful with what you chose, and if you did make a mistake, Waking Dreams could be utilised. Nowadays, you can unlock all skill trees by making skills Legendary, providing an infinite amount of level ups and Perk points. Q: The Waking Dreams power is useful if you don’t want to lose your skills, as making a skill Legendary will reset it back to 15, whereas Waking Dreams leaves your skill level untouched? 🧙‍♂ That is true, but why Legendary a skill that you know will take a long time to level back up? A top tip is to only Legendary skills that you can easily power level back to 100. Think of Illusion and casting Muffle, or using the Telekinesis exploit to instantly hit 100 Alteration, or continually casting Soul Trap on a corpse for Conjuration. These are just a few examples and there are many more. This way you can maintain your current skill levels and can use the Perk points gained from power levelling other skills and making them Legendary to unlock all skill trees in the game!

​@@efulmer8675 Analyzing what Ulfric says. "Not entirely true, though not entirely false either. Any Nord can learn the Way of the Voice by studying with the Greybeards, given enough ambition and dedication. My shouting Torygg to the ground proved he had neither. However, it was my sword piercing his heart that killed him." "Any Nord can learn the Way of the Voice by studying with the Greybeards, given enough ambition and dedication." The way of the voice is an ideology anyone can learn an ideology. For the Thu'um however, there have been no mentions of the Thu'um being a Nord only ability by Arngeir. Futhermore, the students would have to dedicate themselves to following the ideology, which as seen Ulfric refused to do after studying with them for almost 10 years. "My shouting Torygg to the ground proved he had neither." Ulfric was a Great War Veteran and was already expected to win the duel. Fun fact, the Greybeards are careful when interacting with others because their voice can cause damage just by speaking if not controlled just like wild magic. Arngeir is similar to a master mage. Unless if the High King could take the force of the Thu'um which most people can't, he had no chance. Similar to being hit with a destruction spell. "However, it was my sword piercing his heart that killed him." There was no mention of him stabbing the High King by anyone Imperial aligned. Why is this important? Assuming that they were lying, they could have easily included that in their story to make Ulfric look bad. "I killed Torygg to prove our wretched condition. How is the High King supposed to be the defender of Skyrim, if he can't even defend himself?" Ulfric was on the cart getting ready to be executed. Hadvar says this: "A masterstroke by General Tullius! He's only been in charge here for a few months, but he's turned things around for the Empire. We've been trying to catch Ulfric since the war started, but he always seemed to slip through our fingers... like he knew we were coming. This time, the General turned the tables on him. Ulfric rode right into our ambush with only a few bodyguards. He surrendered pretty meekly, too. So much for his death-or-glory reputation. I thought we were taking Ulfric back to Cyrodiil, but I guess the General changed his mind. You know the rest." Ulfric surrendered without a fight whereas Toyagg agreed to duel Ulfric even when the odds were stacked against him. Ulfric would not have made it to Sovngarde if he was executed at Helgen (it can supposedly only be reached by true Nords who die valiantly or in battle, regardless of personality.). Then, we have High King Toyagg's dialogue: "When Ulfric Stormcloak, with savage Shout, sent me here, my sole regret was fair Elisif, left forlorn and weeping. I faced him fearlessly - my fate inescapable, yet my honor is unstained - can Ulfric say the same?" Yeah, I think I will take the words of the dead man. Summing it up, Ulfric's words are another side of the story, as seen it introduces unconfirmed information and information that is questionable. Often times, you will even find his words to be rather hypocritical as well. Considering what Toyagg said I am inclined not to believe Ulfric.

I like the merchant due to the fact I always play with fast travel disabled. Being able to sell in the middle of a dungeon is fantastic.

@@Voltar_99 dawnguard is precisely that bad. If it weren't for the memey horse armour dlc for Oblivion, Dawnguard would be the worst ever. Dawnguard is the most shiny example of the iherent design flaw of Skyrim and why it is so much worse than Morrowind. It starts when you arrive at Volkihar and refuse Harkon and are just apparantley powerless to deal with him so you go quietly. What the hell? Even if Harkon is really tough, you should at least be allowed to try to take him on there. Not saying it should be easy or anything, just possible. Especially because you don't even need Auriel's Bow for the final fight. So the entire questline adds no reason as to why you suddenly can stand up to him. In fact, nothing is more retarded than showing up with the bow. There wasn't even an indicator you'd use it on him during the fight. The fact the dlc adds three of the most horrible dungeons - forgotten vale, castle volkihar dungeons, soul cairn - aside, what Dawnguard really encapsualates is this whole "you can go everywhere because enemies are levelled and your stats don't dictate your power". Imagine you've slain Alduin, Miraak, slain 50+ dragons, got every shout, looted every dungeon but some dumb vampire is apparantley still too scary for you - twice. Remember the Falmer vampire? Ugh. The basic idea of the whole dlc (joining an anti-creature guild, get choice to flip) was already done 80 million times better in the Bloodmoon dlc for Morrowind, too.

I love the Dremora Merchant. Selling off big hauls immediately is super convenient. Consistent access to high end gear. I've never even considered the other two powers from that book.

Waking dream deserve more love. It can keep your skill at the same level and can do whenever you want. Unlike legendary skill that requires to level up your skill until 100 to get your perks back and reset the skills to 15. Great content 👍🏻

Imo Waking Dreams is absolutely broken as it allows you to temporarily shift your skill points between combat-related and crafting-related skill trees like alchemy, smithing and enchanting. You can basically max out these skill trees, get uncanny gear and potions and then shift back to maxing out your combat-related skills, absolutely annihilating anything. This black book absolutely BREAKS the game by removing the draw back from using skill points on crafting. I can't understand why people put it that low

Lover's Insight becomes even more busted for getting discounts when you apply the speech skill perk where you get better prices from merchants of the opposite sex. Meaning a basically free 20 percent discount on all purchased goods just from two perks.

2:25 making a skill legendary doesnt do the same thing tho cuz it will reset your skill back to 15 (and require hitting max first too) while Waking Dreams lets you keep your skill level and also doesn't req lvl 100 in the skill, making it a lot better for skills that are difficult to grind like most combat ones

Every playthrough, I have a Dr. Doom "sponge for knowledge" mind frame where, even if I'll never use certain spells, shouts, scrolls, tomes/pages, hand-me-downs, rumors, etc, I'll still collect them all for necessity of never needing to use them vs needing them and not having them. Doctor Doom is the villain equivalent of Batman Prep Time, in my opinion.

It’s nice to see someone else approach it with the exact same mindset. Doom is my favorite comic book character and my lust for possession of all magical knowledge and artifacts is inspired by his same motivations. I’m more of a spell sword though and mostly use stuff that fits with vampirc lore as found in “Vampire: masquerade”

Greetings to you and your clan good sir! Found your channel today wizard, and I must say! I love it! As a fellow lorekeeper of the fine art, I must say I love the enthusiasm of your videos and I'm looking forward what you post next! You have an ally in the dwarves of the north! Have an nice day!

I love the classic wizard look.

I have been on a gaming drought for nearly a year your vids have made me come back to a game I thought was dead to me your content is brilliant genuinely it’s made me go through the game with almost fresh eyes it feels with your skill vids and tier lists thanks man ❤

Hey! Great video! Maybe one of your best yet. The editing was excellent. Personally I haven't explored as much of dragonborn as I would have liked but after this once the AE stabilizes I will definitely do so! My only complaint is that I wish you'd release more content xD. Obviously I want you to take your time though, don't force your creativity and your process. I've always subscribed to the it's out when it's ready way of thinking. Either way well done and I can't wait to see what you do next.

Thanks David! My plan going forward is to definitely release more frequent and regular content! While I love making video's of this length, they do take a lot of work for me complete, and for the channel to be sustainable, I need to make that shift to shorter form content. I appreciate your kind words and feedback again, you shall see a new release very soon! 🧙‍♂️

My favorite is secret of arcana and I like to use lightning storm with it to kamehameha dragons out of the sky. With the impact destruction perk, dual casted destruction spells stagger targets and it makes targets stuck in a stagger loop. I save the ability as my go to counter for dragons since lightning spells are quick travelling so I don't have to lead my target and it is very accurate and has good range. Great for damaging dragons in the air and on the ground, dragons have a long stagger animation and just loop it over and over due to the master level spell being dual casted on them. In other situations, the book ability can be used to spam healing spells, conjure high cost reinforcements like dremora, cast high cost spells like harmony or telekinesis to power level, etc.

Legendary Skills are not the same as Waking Dreams, lets say you make the ultimate armor/weapon via Smithing. Why would you EVER want to Legendary that tree? If you ever want to improve or change up your look you're going to have to settle for substantially worse tools till you level it up AGAIN. Better to take the perk points out of Smithing and keep it at 100. The same applies to Enchanting. Alchemy gets 1 better, lets say you make 100x of a potion. These will last for a long time. Get better perks. Then when you run out... one quick trip lets you get back to 100 Alch with the right perks. Or perhaps you've grown tired of being a Sneak Thief but don't want to Legendary because you know you want to go back to it later. Boom, one simple trip and you can now spec in Melee for a bit. Level it up till you're tired of it and switch back. Making a skill Legendary isn't actually useful in the slightest unless you want to level it from scratch to eventually hit max level.

In my infancy of playing, it took one time to learn that the hard way. I think it was either blacksmithing or enchanting that was reset, and once I finally realized what I had done without fully reading the description, I was pissed TF off.

The fortify-resto loop combined with the salmon roe waterbreathing potions is a great way to quickly level your alchemy. You don’t have to use the super broken potions if you’re just after a quick level up.

In waking dreams defense. It let's you respec without returning the stat to 15. So you don't have to relevel it if you get more perk points and want to put them into it.

Companion's insight can be very useful for using AoE effects and spells while still keeping your allies in the fight rather than kneeling useless on the ground. Especially if you're using mods that change up combat or make companions more useful.

Very informative. Thank you for a great video. 🙃☕❤

Dragonborn Frost (free 15 second mass paralyze, instantly cast and on a 30 second cd) Seeker of Sorcery/shadows/might (Useful and can be swapped) Lovers insight (Amazing for female characters) Scholar's insight (up to 5 free levels per skill) Mora's Boon (full restore) Secret of Arcana (no need to invest in mana again) Mora's Agony (instant area denial spell) Dragonborn Force (minor buff to unrelenting force) Secret of Protection (can be used with WW/vamp lord) Black Market (convenient) Mora's Grasp (a worse paralyze) Dragonborn Flame (trash summon who doesn't follow you) Bardic Knowledge (good for Civil War sieges, otherwise useless) Secret of Strength (worse than vegetable stew) Secret Servant (only useful for 1 quest in game) Companion's Insight (doesn't work with Storm Call)

2:30 Yes, but your level is also reset when make a skill legendary. So it's better to use Miraak's book.

Personally I prefer the passive buffs, mid to late game you have so many spells. regardless of how much power each spell has it's a drop in the bucket . Especially if it's a one time use per day, its harder to justify cluttering up your favorites bar.
