What is the best bow in skyrim?

Answer 1

The best weapon if you are a high level and have The Shivering Isles expansion is the sword you receive from the dead Orc at the end of the quest for Xedilian. It is significantly higher quality/durability and normal weapon damage than Umbra and somewhat more than a Daedric sword; it is equaivalent or slightly higher quality/durability and normal weapon damage than a Perfect Madness sword. It also has 40 fire damage during the day, and 40 frost damage at night, and 80 uses for each. The best part about it is when it transforms from night to day or vise versa, it recharges its magical energies, so you get 80 free charged uses every 12 hours. In addition to that, once you use it to kill 12 people or creature in a 12 hour period, the sword will recharge itself automatically, AND it will now have an absorb health attribute in addition to a more powerful fire-or-frost attribute. The only problem with this sword is that it is leveled, so all magic effects, uses, quality/durability, and normal weapon damage are relative to your own level; however, once you are level 25 or higher it is superior to all other one-handed blades (and probably all blades, the best Claymore being Shadowrend) in the game by far.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1--------------------------------------------- Added: by visceral relic There is a greater weapon, the mace of doom. This can only be acquired with the frost crag spire add on... But it's worth it. To acquire this weapon you need to go to the bedroom in frost crag spire and save the game, after doing this delete the add on from your hard drive (you can redownload) and simply load the game this will teleport you to a black nothingness However there is a random house that you need to jump towards and you will be teleported inside. After teleporting inside exit the house and you will be in a wasteland with three houses in front of you the mace is in front of you next to the fire. Oh and there is an unlimited amount of every sigil stone in the game in one of the houses too. P.s to clone objects have three or more of the same spell NON STOLEN scrolls and hold the a button on them when in the menu then WITHOUT RELEASING THE A BUTTON go to the item you want to clone and drop it. Whilst still holding A. And you can sell the stuff you clone like perhaps some certain White glowing rocks that recharge your weapons-£££££££££
Without mods (or enchanting), it is arguably Umbra.

here aremy opinions on the bows

the daedric bow is powerful, but it weighs roughly about 25-30. it also kills ghosts.

the ebony bow is a good choice. it weighs 20 and is just as good as daedric. this cannot kill ghosts though.

silver is good but not the best attack and it weighs about 10. this can kill ghosts

steel is poor weighs about 5 and does minimal damage lvl 1-7 should use this. this cannot kill ghosts.

iron is the worst weighs about the same as the steel but is a Little bit weaker. the rusty iron bow is the worst same as iron and it can't kill ghosts.

glass weighs about 13 and does about 7-13 damage. I recommend this because it is hardly weighs anything. This cannot kill ghosts though.

elven is just as good as glass, weighs about 12 and does less damage. this cannot kill ghosts.

if your either a high or a low char the damage would be different. you can enchant them with sigil stones or go to the arcane university, (in the imperial city) if you haven't joined the follow this: go into the arch-mages lobby then use the teleport into the the arch mages quarters (make sure no ones looking! and its trespassing!) then go into the bedroom and use the enchant (you need a soul gem or azuras star and it needs to be filled!) and you have magic bows!

Answer 3

The top 3 best swords in the video game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion are:

1. Chillrend

2. Goldbrand

3. Umbra

In terms of raw damage, Umbra is, which you can get during the Clavicus Vile quest. Second is Goldbrand, your reward for the Boethia quest.

Umbra may have the most base damage, but Chillrend is the best because if you are level 25+ it attacks with 20 points of frost along with the fact that it weakens the enemy to frost by 35%, making the damage 27 points instead. In addition to that it is a short sword, allowing the user to attack far quicklier than the Umbra sword.

What about duskfang and dawnfang?

If you are a high level and have The Shivering Isles expansion the sword you receive from the dead Orc at the end of the quest for Xedilian may be the best. It is significantly higher quality/durability and normal weapon damage than Umbra and somewhat more than a Daedric sword; it is equaivalent or slightly higher quality/durability and normal weapon damage than a Perfect Madness sword. It also has 40 fire damage during the day, and 40 frost damage at night, and 80 uses for each. The best part about it is when it transforms from night to day or vise versa, it recharges its magical energies, so you get 80 free charged uses every 12 hours. In addition to that, once you use it to kill 12 people or creature in a 12 hour period, the sword will recharge itself automatically, AND it will now have an absorb health attribute in addition to a more powerful fire-or-frost attribute. The only problem with this sword is that it is leveled, so all magic effects, uses, quality/durability, and normal weapon damage are relative to your own level; however, once you are level 25 or higher it is superior to all other one-handed blades (and probably all blades, the best Claymore being Shadowrend) in the game by far.

Answer 4

Tricky one. I assume you mean the highest damaging arrow. There is a single arrow you get in a dark brotherhood quest (permanent retirement) called The Rose of Sithis. This arrow will kill the assassination target instantly if you hit him with his armour off. With the armour on however, or if you shoot it at any other npc, it does about as much damage as a dwarven arrow. For just standard arrows, the Daedric ones have the highest base damage. These won't appear in shops or in loot or on enemy's body's until you are well over level 18. Finally there are enchanted arrows. You can make them yourself at the arcane university or you find or buy them. I'm not certain of the highest damage but i once found some "arrows of immolation" which did and additional 65 fire damage to the target.

Then again, if you meant the coolest looking arrows then in my opinion its the elven arrows.

Answer 5

The two strongest weapons in Oblivion are Umbra (in terms of raw physical damage) and Goldbrand (which has a fire damage enchantment).

Answer 6

Daedric Bow is the best and most powerful bow in Oblivion. (you need to be over level 20 be for the Daedric Bow comes into the game).

Answer 7

The best un-enchanted non-unique bow would be a Daedric Bow. However there are enchanted and unique bows that can be much better with damaging enchantments, or other perks.

Answer 8

An upgraded Daedric Bow does the most damage, especially when enchanted.
