Staff Enchanting at Bloodchill Manor:
The staff enchanter inside Bloodchill Manor gives 20x the normal xp for enchanting a staff. Upon arriving on Solstheim you receive a debuff which reduces staff enchanter xp by 95%, However if you don't visit Solstheim and use the 2 unenchanted staves found inside Myrwatch you can reach 60+ Enchanting with only 2 enchantments. If you dupe the staves you can reach 100 Enchanting with only 10 staves.

Smithing? no way. Alchemy? Who needs it? Buying and Selling Items? Waste of time. Leave a comment below on what you want to see next!
Could you do a crusader type character anytime soon
Please
I would like to see a dreadlord build but with a werewolf instead
Got to do health steal only build
Could you do more Elden Ring or maybe even Dark Souls builds?
Pretty please🥺🥺🥺❤❤❤
Best part is always the style, never misses the cool factor
Haha, I try my best!
Hits better that a good old mudcrab stew
@@Fevvyand thats all that matters. i appreciate you and your videos a ton. your effort doesnt go unnoticed - i hope u dont feel too pressured to make ur content a certain way, what makes videos so good is the factor that the one making it loves what they are doing
Fashion is the true endgame
Well, time to start another character
It's always a good time to start a new character!
I had the same thought
@@Fevvy samurai or ronin plz
But... i already did 9182302819204 characters...
Yes, but you didn't do *this* character. @@_erco_1142
One of my favourite "comfort" channels to watch. Peaceful, entertaining and interesting to watch the builds. Always well edited.
same. everytime i see a video of his in my timeline i know its gonna be a good day
i know what you mean, i always love these videos, they really make my autism brain happy. but "peaceful?" idk abt that one XD
Just fuckin say you like it. Jesus christ
When you killed the dragon it said “last witness killed. 40 bounty removed.” Made me picture a dragon testifying at your trial and I laughed louder than I should have in a public space with my headphones on.
Idk if it’s just me but it’s really nice to see a Skyrim run that doesn’t use the alchemy loop.
It feels like almost every run is just “get potion ingredients, get ghost house, make god potions, use god potion money to get smithing materials and soul gems, make/enchant daggers, smith god gear, enchant god gear with god potions.” Followed by getting unique items that fit the theme just for the sake of fitting the theme
Very refreshing and makes it much more interesting since the run isn’t functionally identical to most others as I don’t know what the first half of the video is gunna be like the back of my hand
Yeah I am planning on making more videos moving away from the "op" route. I have a few ideas that I am going to run past my channel members
@@Fevvy that sounds awesome, the last few "___ only" runs have been great so i can't wait to see what else you've got in store
what is ghost house? :o
@@Fevvy Finally, someone who doesn't use cheats or exploits, subscribed!

Every upload you make me want to start a new character Fevvy, you cant keep doing this to me!!
My main playthrough now stemmed from your Better Ebony Warrior build and I sank like 3-400 hours into that after all of the setup
Hahaha, I am so glad you are enjoying them!
Fevvy drops a half-hour video. Me: takes over an hour for pausing and taking notes.
I like the change of not doing all the cheesy OP loops and still getting OP, well done!
Why thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it
I'm about to give up Ordinator today to give Requiem a shot for the first time
Gonna run it on survival legendary
Was looking for a build and this is looking like fate at its finest
Appreciate you boo and all the content you put out
Hey thank you so much my friend! I am so glad to hear that! You will have to let me know how it goes!
@@Fevvy
Heck yeah, hope you had a good Christmas too 🎄
We got the black clover reference😂 only fitting for the true wizard king👑
Hell yeah bro, I'm not alone in noticing it.
What
Im so happy now 😂
Its insane that someone can make such good videos without even speaking
YEEEAAAAHHHHH FEVVY UPLOADED!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR BROSKI!!! Here's to another year of fire builds 🍻🍻
Happy new year my friend!
I love this channel so much, I have over 4 thousand hours in Skyrim yet when Fevvy uploads, I just have to start playing again. So much fun and inspiration.
Glad you enjoy it!
I always love it when the little guy pops on screen. Thanks for the video, Fevvy!
Hope you enjoyed it!
I tried to do a mage only build. Failed to keep the game flowing. Lost track of what I wanted to do next. Your videos keep me on track for my builds. Thanks Fevy!
You can do it!
Liking these build\challenge hybrids. Really lets you focus on parts of the game that normally get ignored.
So glad you are enjoying them!
Never knew you could create spell tomes in the forge underneath the college. All these years later and I’m still learning new things in Skyrim.
I love this dude , he can to pump life back in to the game more than mods do .😅
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Fev,
I was trying to do a pure high elf build and I need the inspiration.
Started Skyrim 2 years ago and you r build helped me through it
when did skyrim 2 get released?
Yeah this would actually work really well with high elf!
I never played a pure mage build. In Morrowwind, Oblivion or Skyrim. Time to put my big boy pants on and finally do it.
Wow, the timing is amazing. My new Altmer mage just ran screaming through Riverwood yelling about a dragon.
Thanks for all the work you've ever done on this channel Fevvy! You've made me come back to Skyrim so many times. After many years and different games I've played I still have spot for Skyrim in my heart.
Being one of the older viewers (this isnt supposed to sound arrogant) its so amazing to see how your videos keep getting better and better. Keep going!
Thanks so much for sticking around!
We are truly blessed this holiday season, for Santa Fevvy had dropped another banger down the chimney.
To anyone who wants to atempt this , or one of the other standing stone builds , but make it harder, how about for the thief only invest in stanima for the warrior only go into health and for the mage go magica only ?
That's a pretty cool idea! If I had of done this for this video it would have been way more challenging
Thx for the heart ❤️
@@Fevvy i still don't think I could have beaten Skyrim with no trading , so kudos to you mate
Very unfun challenge... base 100 hp on legendary difficulty basically means nearly everything can 1-2 shot you, which means that you can be insta killed by any humanoid enemy in the game with a kill move at any moment. Its VERY unfun, your options are basically cheesing their pathfinding and hoping nobody has bows bc even weak bows can 2 shot you on legendary difficulty with 100 hp, strong ones can 1 shot you
@@Surr3alD3sign basically no hit run
bro i've been subscribed to this channel for quite some time and the quality, creativity and entertainment of the vids literally never goes down. another banger by Fevvy
Aye, love the video, starting another playthru right now lol
At 21:25 i recommended spamming magelight over the hills next to solitude gate. Lvl Alt super fast for some reason there.
Is it faster then Telekinese though? I have actually never tried that method
@Fevvy on my current playthru I haven't gotten telekinesis but Alt goes up faster than you lvl up. I suppose with more magelights you cast it gets faster but I'll keep you updated
@fevvy I've tried on ps5, comparing to telekinesis casting magelight is WAY faster. I've gotten to 100 Alt in 12 min. Timing is important, I recommend casting it once at a time per hand than at the same time. Plus magestone. There may be more locations but it has to do with magelight catching on walls that "don't exist" then glitching thru if that makes sense.
Let the light reach the mountain top before waiting to reload magicka :)
@joshMcBuddylove noted
If you use the unbounded storms spell and use fast travel from Fort Dawnguard to Castle Volkihar, destruction will go straight to 100, just a tip.
Another superb build, ridiculously professional editing and there’s always a little bit of new stuff that even a Skyrim veteran can learn from.
Genuinely delighted to see a Fevvy video - thank you and have a great 2025
Thanks so much! means the world to me!
I always play mage and never ended up with a stealth archer and every time i tried I'd get frustrated and go back to mage so it was really fun watching your vid ❤
Legend and hope you had a good Christmas (I was playing Starfield and Skyrim over Christmas 😉 😁 ) good work Fevvy 🎉
Nice, I still haven't even played the starfield dlc lol
Babe, wake up. New Fevvy.
Hey welcome back! Good to see you are back making videos!
@@Fevvy Thank you! Great to be back, and great video as always!
Been watching your videos for a long time now, it’s always a nice sight to see another Skyrim video, ty for the entertainment and knowledge
0:18 cold🥶🥶🥶
Look forward to your videos everyday. Thanks for the new year gift.
Happy new year! and you are so welcome
Glad to see another upload bro! Loving it as a mage main
Glad you enjoy it!
I've been waiting for this! Thanks for another great skyrim build!
Thanks so much for watching!
So atoked to find your channel! Brother, you are so underrated. Youre videos are so efficient and easy to follow even without speaking. Amazing
Will never get tired of your work, probably the best Skyrim content creator out there, keep it up!!
Thanks so much!
bro i just started playing skyrim and holysht i found your videos like super entertaining😭🤣❤️
So glad you enjoy them!
@ omg ty btw anytips for new players🤣
@@thisaintjwan I would recommend a stealth archer easy to do and super powerful making it a fine choice for any new player to Skyrim. I would suggest going either Khajiit or Wood Elf. Very simple sneak, light armour, alchemy, archery, enchanting and smithing
@@SamJeffries-yd7hyicic i just got transformed into vampire and ive been spamming it hahahaha
@@thisaintjwan if you’re going vampire then you want to grab necromage in the restoration tree. That improves all active effects on undead that includes you. So things like potions you ingest will be stronger, enchantments will be stronger and so on
The edits are top notch! Never fails to entertain, and laugh a tonne!
8:50 love how music and magic are in rhythm. New sub. New skyrim fanatic, and apparently time for new character.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas if you celebrate that and you have a happy new year Mr. Fev, I always enjoy watching your creations
its been a long time since i last checked out this channel and im so glad to see youre still doing skyrim content, big up fevvy
Thanks for coming back to check in! Hope you enjoyed the video
@Fevvy i did!
The music you use in your videos are always so good
Hello Fevvy, I really like your videos, every time you post I feel very happy, the videos are very creative and funny, thank you very much for making the works of art to entertain us in these final days.
Happy New Year. You play the vanilla game using everything the game has to offer, but just one question: have you ever used mods? Just to see what it's like? I apologize if there are any grammar mistakes.
I'm using a translator to write this text 😄. I'm Brazilian 🇧🇷 manda um oi por favor ?...
Happy to hear that!
I have used mods before, I just prefer videos that everybody can relate to. I may make videos with mods in the future
Crazy how i literally redownloaded Skyrim & started a mage only build a week ago… now I see this video😭
You’re actually very funny along with being great at editing your videos. Great job!!
I appreciate that! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Ive been waiting for this. LETS GO FEVVY.
Fevvy has the best channel to find inspiration for weird ways to start a new stealth archer play through.
Hahahaha trueeeee
welp, time for the monthly replay of skyrim....
Mad music on this video too btw.
I would have been okay with adding alchemy, so I admire your dedication to the cause
Yet again, I am impressed with the commitment to finding the loop holes in the game. I hope you do as good a job with your taxes.
Hahaha, I need to do as good a job with my taxes... trust me...
one of the only channels i have notifications on for. can't wait to see what is planned for 2025!
perhaps a shield damage only run?
I’ve been waiting for this it really made the rest of my year
Haha glad to hear it!
He's looking like maleficent or the dragonlord of DQ with that setup plus dragon aspect. I LOVE IT!
I know right! I was really happy with the look of this one
@@Fevvy Always good to make a build one likes. Might inspire me to try another character in skyrim...
Assuming I get out of helgen first... 😅
I was just thinking abt doing a new Skyrim build, Fevvy is truly the Augur of yt.
The complete absence of master destruction spells confirms how pity they actually are.
Looks like anniversary edition was finally respectfull with the path of the mage.
Awesome video, ty.
I'm doing a mage run in Oblivion right now. Spell crafting is so much fun and breakable.
You playing on Max difficulty? I really want to make another Oblivion video, I just have to find some time to play it again
@@Fevvy Of course.
Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy LoreRim, what it’s doing for the community, and the content that’s coming out due to its release - but I LOVE these videos. I’m booting up LoreRim rn and I was so happy to see that this is a new post. I always learn something new about base Skyrim and I think that’s neat
I am going to have to give that mod a try at some point
Bravo, you've done it again Fevvy! Keep em' coming!
Thanks, will do!
Started a build like this a couple of weeks ago. Im really have fun.. guess you can say ive been having....a blast.... :D
Haha I see what you did there!
I love the different little sound bites xD
This video has re-introduced my interest for skyrim. Thank you
Bro I love your videos so much please keep up the good content
Thanks so much! Don't worry I will keep them coming
Dude that wizard challenger got decimated by Serana on my last mage playthrough 😂😂😂 Serana and I had just cleared out Mzinchaleft that I'd stripped of all scrap metal(this place resets every few in-game days btw) and bro was literally waiting on the road. Also yes I was using the crafting loop, don't @ me😂 but yeah he challenged me and as soon as I accepted Serena started laying into him with lightning bolts. Killed him in like four hits, too. My character just stood there like "Damn son" 😂😂😂
Haha nice! I think it resets in like 10 days if you don't fully clear it right?
Watching you collect all the ingredients is always better than doing it myself.
5 minutes ago just visiting your profile, and 5 minutes later, new video ,, greatt ❤
Hope you enjoy it!
Did a conjuration only run a month ago and it was the most fun i’ve had in a while (I did all factions and dlcs and side/main quests)
Best content on UA-cam. Thanks for the fun.
The editing on these videos has gotten really nice
Glad you think so!
Great video! I think you can also increase the damage even more by getting vampire + necromage and aspect of the terror before selecting all the other damage perks in the destruction tree.
Quick tip for pc players, if you want to train one handed, two handed or sneak (basically anything that involves hitting a target infinetly), there is a key that makes the game go faster, wich means you will need less time (And laso, save after getting to the lvl you want, just in case you die, happened to me yesterday). Unfortunateyl I can't remember what key it is
Another Fevy Video always makes the world a better place.
Ah this is a more efficient version of my Electro time mage build. I was struggling with enchantments and the routes to go and I never chose the vampire route. Nice one!
Grabbing the fear effect for flames and the face of terror perk from illusion increases the damage of elemental burst as well
For alteration there's also a bug with the magelight spell, if you cast it towards the mountains near the entrance of solitude it will level up crazy fast, even better than telekinesis in my opinion
Is this faster then the Telekinese method though?
ive seen my alteration go up 20 to 25 levels per cast until about level 65 than it slows down alot lol
If you cast it towards the top of the mountains it level faster, for me it's better than telekinesis but both works well. Magelight is just easier to get
This might be my favorite build so far, and that’s saying a lot!
goated channel still keeping up the legendary skyrim content💕
This guy makes me want to play skyrim after years, great job
Why thank you!
Woww so you still uploading Skyrim gameplay, its really nice to see it again, i mean your video is so unique and nice to watch 😅
Always wanted a pure mage build from you
Proper way to end 2024 :D
Love that this video was recommended to me. Maybe YTs algorithm isn’t bad after all
hands down, best build ever and an incredible joy to watch
Thanks so much!
A new Fevvy video makes my day. Thanks.
Enjoy!
I'm glad to know people are like me playing Skyrim and fallout over and over lol.
I play Skyrim about once or twice a year since it came out. Love the game. That and RDR2, Mass Effect and Cyberpunk. Sometimes the Fallout games
It's been quite some time since your last Skyrim video. I always enjoy these.
Yeah sorry about that, sometimes I need to take a break and play some fallout 4
@Fevvy No worries i understand the feeling 👍
Another awesome year of Fevvy goodness 😁👍💯
Awesome, as always. I use casting magelight at the mountain close to the solitude front gate. It levels up Alteration so much faster. You can get Alteration level 100 in less than an hour.
Thanks a lot my friend! Yeah I will have to give that method a test, A few people have been commenting on it
Love your Skyrim videos . I’d like to see a nightblade guide please . Also how to power level light armour from one to hundred any suggestions? Thanks Fevvy
Best way is to wear a full set of light armor then find some gaints and let them
wail on while you cast healing spells. Think it should only take 30 - 40 mins for 100 that way
@@Fevvy thanks mate
1 second upload is insane
Thanks for another year of super entertaining builds!
Thanks for a year of watching!
You can power level alteration with mage light spell. Just go to door before you go into solitude. Cast mage light on the mountain to your left in the distance. The xp gain is based on the distance that the ball of light travels from where you cast it. You can level alteration well before you can get telekinesis.
Best skyrim Ytber outthere good video as allways
The leveling up destruction is no joke takes forever
You know what ima try this for my first time
Omg new Fevvy time to re install Skyrim again
Hi fevvy! Instead of casting the ward for a long time, in solitude you can start the wolf queen quest and get a level 50 resto turn undead spell for free, then go to the catacombs in whiterun to spam this spell against skeletons and it progresses restoration quite a bit faster, of course this isn't afk like the ward spell. It is still a little quicker though!
what if you did builds based off of the initial racial bonuses? like orcs could only use heavy arm, block, one handed, and so on. making the most nordic nord or the holiest imperial or even the most holier-than-thou high elf
Major slack has full playthoughs like that. Makes a pretty good restriction.
For an unnarrated video this was pretty damn funny! Well done, and nice build!
Another awesome video . Good present for new year
Happy New Year!
