Any tips on locating a Daedric Bow? : V

» Wed May 30, 2012 3:39 pm

My thinking is i can only hope i get one off a Master chest random drop but im hoping there might be one in the world or maybe an enemy type thats more likely to have one? dunno.

I can honestly say I've never seen any daedric armor or weapon in any chest... so my guess would be that ur going to have to make one urself...

I've gotten a Daedric greatsword in a chest so it can happen, also on my current charector i've gotten a dragon bone chest plate and two dragon bone gloves (one with +35 bow dam) so anything can drop. its random.

Craft your own? Smithing is easy to increese and sure it costs a few perks but it's totally worth it. If you invest perks into smithing/ alchemy/ enchanting you can get a dedric bow with a base dm of over 300 plus use dedric arrows. I started a thread awhile back on how to get unlimited dedric arrows if you search the forum for "dedric arrow factory" you can find it.

Back on topic: I would smith your own plus you can improve them better with the perks too.

Tips no, it can be a random drop. Sounds like your are an adventurer and not a blacksmith- so you are in my boat. We have to wait for a drop, but it is only mariginally better than an ebony bow assuming both were legendary level, so meh.

Conjured bow is daedric

Just be L48 or higher, and you might find one. But there's nowhere in particular I know of that's more likely than anywhere else.

Alternately, get your Conjuration skill to 90 and talk to Phinis Gestor at the College of Winterhold. Smithing isn't the only way to make Daedric gear -- I've only ever seen one piece drop (a bow, amusingly enough, but my character isn't an archer) but have made myself a complete set, despite my total lack of smithing perks.

Yeah, im not playing a a PC that smiths or conjures so i was hoping there might be some unknown where my odds were slightly higher. just about got the rare item drop increase perk so hopefully that will spead up my hunt.

Claviger is right actually, you can get a bunch of daedric stuff in the basemant caves of mages guild in a certain place.

you know its sad but the reason i want it is cause it just looks WAY too cool. im vain that way >_<

*edit* my charector isnt allowed into the guild as he doesnt use magic...role playing and such...but the forge would work and i hadnt thought of that. if i get desperate...

i've only seen deadric pop up on dragr deathlords, And even then it was only once

» Thu May 31, 2012 2:53 am

Damn I just found one yesterday but can't remember where :mellow:

sorry! Was doing a word of power discovery quest though...

I found a Daedric battleaxe in one of the bandit-infested forts near Riften at level 55+.

Also - the Khajit caravans sometimes sell enchanted Daedric weapons after you restore the Thieves' Guild to its former glory/you've formed an alliance with them. I've only ever found Daedric bows for sale though.

» Wed May 30, 2012 6:32 pm

I found a Daedric Dagger and Daedric Bow; both of which were in chests in dungeons. I suppose once you are of the level it is just random spawn from that point on.

» Wed May 30, 2012 10:18 pm

Once I reached level 50+ there was a Daedric bow for sale regularly from a merchant in Windhelm market at one of the stands.

I am pretty sure that it is very very rare to find a deadric weapon or armour, the easiest option would be to craft a set of armour or wep yourself, this is what i did

» Thu May 31, 2012 3:58 am

holy crap! what do you have to do to get the deadric bow do over 300 damage?

If I may? Where are these kitty caverns? Not trying to derail the thread here.. Send a PM if one must. But I would like to know.

Made my first two. Found my main soul trapping one in a chest. Got one from a vampire master.

Tbrough smithing mine hits 114. I also always fire from sneak (100) and I have x3 sneak bow multiplier.

One setsup outside of Whiterun - like right at the entrance. I think you need to be acertain level though (like 30+ ?)

Oh, Caravans... Well that's completely different than a cavern.. I know about the Caravans..
Must have mis-read the post...

If you want a role-play reason to join the College, just walk up to the bridge and use the "Pff. [censored], please. I'm the Dragonborn." option. She'll say something along the line of "Oh, Dragonborn? Well, even though you aren't a Mage - we can still learn a great deal from each other. Please, follow me."

Though, you can eventually become the Arch-Mage, with no knowledge of any Magic beyond the Flames spell you're given at the start of the game. You can use shouts to get through everything in the quest line.

..So you might need to invent another role-playing reason for that, as well. =P

For me, 180hrs in at level 66, the ONLY daedric anything I can reliably find on any vendors are the dang bows.

Locations: The Thieves Guild fence in Winterhold, and the Kahjit caravan. Both after getting the achievement for restoring the guild.

Guys guys. People always seem to forget something :X

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Atronach_Forge

Atronach Forge ftw.
Turn that ebony bow into a deadric one and without having to get 90 smithing

Heads up though the ingredients required are rather hard to find.
Ebony Bow (unenchanted), Daedra Heart, Centurion Dynamo Core, Black Soul Gem.

The BIGGEST problem though is that it requires having a Sigil Stone in inventory and the Sigil Stone can only be obtained through the Conjuration ritual spell quest which requires having 90 conjuration before even being allowed to start the quest. Personally though even on my warrior toons i like having conjuration :X
