    The only thing I would really change in this is how you leveled pickpocket and alchemy. I get the thief stone, head to whiterun. I then sleep at the inn and in the morning once I am well rested I seek out the alchemist merchant. She can train you up to 75 skill. So I buy 1 point of training, then pickpocket my gold back. This will level pickpocket and alchemy in tandem. Once you hit 50 skill the price for training jumps so ensure you have about 2500 gold total to prevent having to leave to afford the leveling. I also ensure I have the spell muffle so I can train illusion for leveling purposes just in case you need it to access the next level as you will only be able to train 5 points per level. Once I hit 100 pickpocket and 75 alchemy I just buy up her stock of reagents and start making very expensive potions. I then save game, smack her, and load my save game to reset her inventory. I then buy all her reagents again and sell the potions I made back to her thereby recovering the money I spent on reagents and making a significant profit while at it. Good video. Subbing.

      That's a great question. Unfortunately, poisons of paralysis and slow don't work on Dragons. I would first hit them "weakness to poison" followed by "damage health & lingering damage health". That way they still take damage if they fly out of reach. You can also use "damage magicka" poisons to stop them using breath attacks.

    Hey there! Back again after discovering a 4-effect potion that levels alchemy quite quickly, sells for a decent amount, and you can grow all 3 ingredients! You need Dragon's Tongue ( quickest grab is next to the Alchemy shop in Whiterun) , Fly Amanita ( there are 2 next to the sawmill in Riverwind where you speak with Helga/Ralof) and Mora Tapinella (everywhere between Helgan and Riverwood).

    • @Fahluaan
      @Fahluaan  11 місяців тому

      For Dragons you can apply poisons with the wieldable Fork or a Longbow with Practice Arrows since these are the lowest damage weapons for their classes.
      For things like Dwemer Automatons, you probably want to use the Spider Scrolls or staffs, since they won't level your other skills.
      I have videos showing both of those options in this playlist:

      No, the build wasn't intended as a gimmick. I just wanted to try something different and sometimes it is fun to just go around towns planting poisons of paralysis or frenzy on NPCs.
      As for playability, it depends on how strictly you want to stick to reverse-pickpocketing poisons. If you want the build to be purely focused on that, then you will have to rely on sneaking past enemies that can't be pickpocketed or are immune to poisons, or you can direct a follower to fight them on your behalf. Otherwise, you can use the fork or the long bow with training arrows to poison enemies that you can't pickpocket. For enemies immune to poison, the Ebony Armor enchantment is supposed to still work since it seems to count as an effect rather than a poison, but it is fairly weak and impractical.

      For dragons and other enemies that you can't pickpocket, you need to apply the poison to a weapon. The Fork is a good melee choice, or the longbow with the training arrows for melee. These weapons do the least damage, so you are mostly killing the dragon with your poison damage.
