Bound Bow Play-Through

Post » Sat Oct 03, 2015 4:59 pm

So, I plan on doing a Play-Through using only the Bound Bow, and since I'm on XBox that means after Helgan I'll beeline to Fort Amol.

Just any tips tricks? Also, doesn't anyone know the Magicka Cost?

Early on, you may want a back-up weapon, just in case. It is a mid-level spell, so the cost is pretty high early on. Will you be using sneak, also? I would recommend it :)

Can't think of anything else, right now.

Have fun! It can be an interesting playthrough :)

I did a play through with it. I'd highly suggest getting conjuration skill up there because base magicka cost is ridiculous. 206.

Buy Bound Sword as soon as possible (Riverwood), and always keep it active while making the beeline to Fort Amol. Build Magicka on Level Ups, and Perk the Conjuration Tree to reduce casting cost.

Look for Posts by Acadian about Buffy.

Altmer is the race of choice here. Not having boosts in archery like other races becomes irrelevant later on, while +50 magicka is +50 magicka.

If you're not using a lot of other magic, I'd recommend light armor, with a hood until you actually get a helmet fortifying magicka. Maybe use atronach stone until you have adept conjuration.

I like to play a Breton when I'm planning on using Bound Bow. The boost in conjuration helps, and if you get the novice hood you can always disenchant it and make magicka boosters from that. I usually don't use armor with that sort of build, prefering instead things like the mage's robe that boost magicka regeneration.
