It doesn't matter good you are or how decent you are at the game, it is the level that matters, things start appearing when you get at a certain level.

*sigh*

On Solstheim, things don't scale with your level. Bloodskal Barrow is on Solstheim. You need the Dragonborn DLC to go there.

Lol the iPad really messes up what you're saying.

ha ha Oh and for the record I think I know which Draugr Deathlord you're referring to and yes it is definitely possible to kill him at level 1.

1) Get his attention

2) will until he draws his bow

3) run back through the door to avoid his arrow

4) run back in and fire an arrow at him

5) rinse and repeat until he is dead

It takes a while but it certainly is possible.

My method exactly. Glad somebody can vouch for me.

thanks!!

Just got it, super easy too. Thanks guys

Dude you need an Ebony Bow like you need a toothache...
My guy is level 68 and he uses a Dwarven Bow.
The attacks are not that different, and the Dwemer bow is much faster (and lighter).

I think he wants a bow that's stronger.

Forget the ebony bow! My level 48 PC just stumbled onto a Daedric bow (unenchanted, just plain) in loot over on Solstheim. It was during the quest

I'm severly restricting this playthrough so all upgrades have to appear in loot.

My Dwarven Bow does 310 damage (Ebony does 338).
Not much of a gain for almost double the weight... and Ebony is slow, too.
Daedric Bows are even worse.

Yes but they shoot over a greater distance. That's what makes Daedric prime sniper weapons.

I second that, excellent indeed.

A Forsworn bow is another good option for early levels; easy to find, same base damage as elven and only needs the steel smithing perk.

The Forsworn is also faster than other bows in its damage range (0.875 speed).
