Shrine's and Stone's

What shrine and stone do you use?

For me it's the steed stone and shrine is anytime I see a new one I use it. That comes to a question I have. What is the best shrine in Skyrim. I know there really isn't 'the best' in an elder scrolls game but what one is the most practical for a archer/ one hand/ explorer?

Can't remember, it's the one that lets you raise all the dead in a room for a bit.

EDIT: It's the Ritual Stone. Best one I can see on http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Standing_Stones is the Lord Stone IMO, but with the 1.2 patch having a glitch on some games that breaks all resistances, we'll have to see.

I still use the Warrior stone from the game start.

As for shrines... Any given one I stumble across when I have a disease, otherwise I don't bother with them.

I use one of the class specific ones until my main skills are expert, then I change to the Lord stone. The AC and resists are nice for any class and since I never applied any patches to the game I dont worry about broken resists :celebration:

I use the steed stone. Now, at 600 max carry burden, I'm still constantly going over. I can't imagine what I did when it was at 300. Plus, I just started using heavy armor, so it helps with that too.

I haven't found any shrines that help much. If i happen to pass one I activate it.

My battlemage Argonian still uses the Mage stone, and favors the Akatosh shrine (+10% mana regen), though so far I've only managed to find one Akatosh shrine atop some mountain.

I am currently using The Warrior stone, but I'm trying to see if I can find The Lover stone.

...Oh, and I pick Mara's Blessing.

Warrior to start with

Lord Stone is great though

When I get a blessing I usually stick with Arkay

I started with Mage Stone, switched to Atronach.

What are these shrines you speak of?

Same here (also exactly 600)! Just took it for the carry weight, since I was already Level 40 when I found it, I didn't find it necessary to use the thief stone any longer.

I guess my ingredients just weigh to [censored]in much. Why the [censored] do I have this need to harvest nearly everything I find...

Ritual Stone and Talos shrine (in whiterun).

I also like dibella and zenithar shrines.

Same here. Seems to be working out nicely!

I wish Mage characters actually had a decent choice in Stones. Nothing comes close to the Atronach.

The mage's stone is better for leveling magical abilities faster but gives no real bonuses of itself. The Lady stone gives a Health&Magicka regeneration increase.

Went with Warrior then Atronach.

Does Lady Azura's shrine count?

Both are which are vastly inferior to the Atronach Stone. What is your point?

Warrior Stone and Blessing of Kynareth in Whiterun. Fortify Stamina +25 for 8hrs.

So... you're not using the Atronach on your mage?

» Mon May 28, 2012 8:13 pm

Shrine of Dibella and the Lord stone.

It's all I ever used on both of my Mages. The rest of the Stones are so poor by comparison.

Magestone on my mage and warrior stone on my warrior

» Tue May 29, 2012 12:26 am

My character doesn't really believe in stones or gods, but considering that I have yet to find an actual doctor in game, I usually wind up at the shrine of Talos. Considering that he (usually) kills Imperials and their legion on sight, I guess that might make sense.

Steed Stone has saved me a lot of heartache. I still go over once in a while CW=485 but not nearly as much
