Skyrim - Top 10 Daedric Artifacts Ranked

Ойындар

My Top 10 Daedric Artifacts Ranked in Skyrim, including some honourable mentions. In today's video, I explore the Daedric Artifacts in Skyrim, including those introduced in the Anniversary Edition, and rank my top 10.
Daedric Artifacts are very rare, unique and powerful items enchanted by Daedric Lords and passed on to mortals, usually their champions. Players must complete Daedric Quests to earn these Artifacts in Skyrim. 17 Daedric Artifacts can be obtained in the base game, however, this number is almost doubled with the introduction of 14 new Daedric Artifacts from the Anniversary Edition.
My ranking is based solely on the power and utility of the Daedric Artifacts. And as a disclaimer, this ranking is my own opinion, and mine alone.

    Hey Wizards, hope you're all doing well and enjoyed the vid 🧙‍♂This was certainly a long one for only 10 rankings and honorables and I learned a good number of new things throughout this vid that I didn't know before. Hopefully I could teach you something new too :) Which Daedric Artifact do you think looks the most badass? 🔥 *FAQs* 👇 Q: Doesn’t the Unofficial Patch mod allow the Daedric Artifacts to benefit from Smithing perks? 🧙‍♂️: It does indeed, I forgot to mention that. With the Unofficial Patch mod, all Daedric Artifacts (weapons and armor) will benefit from a smithing perk. Q: What about the Ring of Khajiit? 🧙‍♂️: Truth be told, I must have completely missed it and skimmed over the Fishing Creation entirely! Apologies for that. But with that being said, the effect on the ring is rather cool; “You move 10% faster. Allows you to cast the spell "Hide”. I wouldn’t rank it in the top 10 but would definitely mention it in the honourable mentions. Q: Why bother with Daedric Artifacts when you can make your own with max smithing and max enchanting? 🧙‍♂: There are certainly benefits of crafting your own gear and I won’t argue against that, instead, I’ll offer some reasons as to why you might choose Daedric Artifacts (unique weapons and armor): 1. Daedric Artifacts all have a unique look to them, most looking pretty badass imo. 2. Most Daedric Artifacts can be retrieved at the beginning or very close to the beginning of the game offering a great early advantage. 3. Most Daedric Artifacts have unobtainable enchantments on them and they’re pretty darn good (Dawnbreaker, Mehrunes Razor and Wabbajack are great examples). 4. Some Daedric Artifacts have innate enchantments and never need to be recharged, but if anything does need to be recharged, Azura’s got your back with her star or The Black Star. 5. While nearly all Daedric Artifacts do not benefit from Smithing perks in vanilla Skyrim, the Unofficial Patch changes this allowing all Daedric Artifacts to benefit from smithing perks. 6. One could use the Restoration loop (before installing the Unofficial Patch) to improve any unique weapon or armor until satisfied. You don’t have to go overboard with the loop either, so long as you use it sensibly and can produce upgrades of realistic quality for your level.

    Lady Nocturnal isn't "evil", the thieves guild just use her because her very nature is that of the unknown. And thieves value many things including being not known. Because it is unknown what will happen next, she's also considered to be the daedra of fortune or luck as well.

    The ebony blade is amazing for a light armor two handed build. Dodging attacks and recovering every hit you take. it's absolutely op, since it doesn't drain any stat. Magic drains your magica, melee drains your health and ranged drains a lot of your time and sometimes even stamina. The blade makes your fighting capability basically infinite, which with the blade fury shout, is very op. It makes you kind of unbeatable, only outmatched by fortify enchanting and stealth archer.

    The Black Star is by far my favorite and most memorable artifact for me. I will never forget how much easier it made my Skyrim life after I first got it. When you dont have it, it can be pretty annoying to keep casting soul trap on enemies to fill soul gems with the right type of souls just to recharge your enchanted weapons. And if I remember well, the biggest soul gem stones are pretty hard to find, and expensive if you buy them. With Azura's Stars, you never have to worry about that process again.

    @@theWelshWizard was my favorite weapon though the explosion thing never happened for me, was that a later patch? Mind you I had legendary edition with all 4 expansions. Also did ever keep copies of the unique weapons, such as the rusty mace that turns into malog-bols mace? You can do so by putting it in a weapon rack at one of you houses and then killing the dude inside the cage. You might could do a video on unique quest items you can keep by using a glitch or pickpoketing from who you deliver it to.

    I do think it would be cool to make a follow up video talking about which one you prefer in terms of looks. That would be fun. From the artifacts I remember (prior to watching the video) The Skull of Corruption looks pretty cool, and I like how it looks pretty gruesome. Wabbajack is cool, I like the design of the head, but it could use more detailing or contrast with colors Dawnbreak is an interesting one for me, I like it, just wished it glowed more Volendrung is probably the most awesome looking Warhammers in the game (Other than the Champion Cudgel) Mace of Molag Bal is probably one of my favorites

    Black star definitely deserves the number one spot imo. If your build can at all utilize it, its basically a necessity because of how useful it is. That being said, late game its usefulness dies off a little because you get access to places with soul gems that respawn like the College of Winterhold, but it will never be useless.

Also having just an elemental damage seems boring to me Kinda wished more of the creation club items had better enchantments, and surprisingly the crusader armor is a pain to wear cause if you do ONE misdead, the armor because a bag of boulders strapped onto you. Plus the enchantments aren't as useful compared to Oblivion where I could wear that armor until the end of the game where this just is meh
