Vampire Hood & Dragonbone Weapons

Post » Thu Sep 05, 2013 6:46 am

Thought I would post this for any that are interested in trying it and see if they get the same results.

I always play as a sorceress, my twist on a mage, so I do not know how this will do with other characters.

It is said that the Vampire hood is not attainable. Wrong. I do not know if this was fixed in the very long patch they put out, or if it is only on the Legendary game disk.

My release date Skyrim disk finally got worn enough that I put in the Legendary Game disk, and started 2 new characters, both being a sorceress. I joined the Dawnguard, and went and recuited the 2 people needed. When I went back and talked to Isran, he sent me on a quest to talk to some Jarl about a vampire posing as a good person. After the vampire was dealt with, I received the whole vampire outfir, which included the vampire robes, the vampire gloves, the vampire boots and the vampire hood. I received the whole outfit with both characters. Also, these items can be duplicated on the dummy in the cellar at Winstad Manor. I now have 5 of each one.

Also, I have been in the Soul Cairn at least 7 times. Never have I received and weapons over glass or dwarven. With these 2 characters, and the Legendary game disk, when I killed the 3 keepers, with one I received a Dragonbone Bow with 24 arrows, another I received a Dragonbone sword, and with the last I received a Dragonbone mace.

I play on the xbox, so there is no mods to use, and was wondering if anyone else found these items, and if there was anything else "different" between the regular Skyrim game disk and the Legendary Skyrim game disk.

Wow, thats crazy, but great. Ive always wanted the vampire hood but Ive read here before that it can't be obtained on the Volkihar side, only the Dawnguard side, which makes absolutely no sense at all. And that really svcks as I always play on the Volkihar side.

True, but one can go through the Dawnguard side, and become a vampire lord later on, after the final battle with Harkon. That way, one can get the hood, gloves, boots and robes. I have seen the robes before, they are common, but there is only 1 hood.

What you can't get is Serana's Hood which is a leather version of the mage's hood. The vampire hood is just a black version of those green hats that couriers and some other NPCs wear. As for the dragonbone weapons, if you're high enough level you can get them from the keepers. But you get the axe the bow and the third I forget what it is. One thing that makes me scratch my head is why didn't Beth add pants on the vampire outfit. The other clothes variants have pants, what? Suddenly male vampires are too cool to wear pants?

So it sounds like the dragonbone weapons are leveled, just like daedric is leveled.

I do not know about the "leveling" part of getting the dragonbone weapons, for one of my gals was level 30 and the other level 34 when I got the weapons. The vampire hood may be the same as the plain cowl / hat that can be found, but it is black and matches the rest of the outfit. On a male, the robes look just like they do on the vampire you kill to get them. They do not look like a "dress" on male characters.
