Are bound weapons worth the money? Until dragonbone, daedric, or custom enchanted blades become more expensive, you may be wondering if you should buy a bound blade. The answer is yes, but only until you replace the soul trap enchantment with empty soul gems. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of each. Also, we’ll discuss which weapons have the best value for money.

Dragonbone bow
If you’re a new player to the game, you might be wondering if the Dragonbone bow and bound weapons are worth it. These weapons are powerful but expensive. The Dragonbone bow has a damage bonus of 350/shot. It also deals 30 damage to fire and frost, which makes it an excellent choice for high-end players. Double-enchantments will help you make the most out of your new weapon and make your character better overall.
The Dragonbone Bow has the highest base damage per shot of all the bows in the game. It doesn’t have an interesting look, but its damage is high. The Dragonbone bow can be enchanted with any effect you like. However, you’ll need a high smithing level to fully make the most of it. The Dragonbone Bow is also a good choice for sneaking, requiring a decent amount of smithing.
Nightingale bow
You can obtain the Nightingale Bow in the Inner Sanctum after you have defeated the Arch-Curate Vythur. This item increases damage as you level, but you cannot disenchant it. It is the second strongest non-enchanted bow in the game, and its value and damage will increase as your Dragonborn levels rise. This weapon can be obtained as loot, sold by merchants, or smithed by players with a level of 80 or more.
The Nightingale armor and weapon are unique and compliments the stealthy build. This build can be very effective in sneaking, as the Nightingale bow can target all enemies below level 30. It can also benefit from other sneak bonuses, which make it an excellent weapon for assassination. Using it is very beneficial for those who don’t have time to do this. If you’re looking for a unique weapon that will help you in your game, then this is the weapon for you.
Storm atronach
Creating Storm Atronach bound weapons requires skill in Daedra spellcasting. This spell is effective on all three types of Atronachs – Frost, Flame, and Storm. The main difference between these two types is the amount of stamina needed to cast them. The first type of Atronach has a much higher stamina requirement, whereas the second type has much lower.
As for the damage dealt by a Storm Atronach, it deals 2323 Shock Damage, stuns enemies, and periodically zaps enemies in front of it. In addition, it has a charge-up synergy called Charged Lightning, which increases damage done by 10% for eight seconds. Those are some of the main differences between a Storm Atronach and its non-boss counterparts.
The Frost Atronach requires conjuration level 40 and can only be acquired through Phinis Gestor in the College of Winterhold. It favors tankiness over damage, so it’s a good choice for squishy mages and other characters with small health pools. Frost Atronachs explode to deal high frost damage in a radius. It’s a great option for fragile characters as it will raise the dead in combat, and summon Atronachs.
Daedric bow
A Daedric bow has the highest base damage per shot, but it’s heavy and hard to use, making it not the best choice for the average player. A Daedric bow is also worth the effort if you’re looking for raw hard-hitting power without the added weight of a Daedric armor set. It’s also possible to enchant this bow with a permanent soul trap, which makes it a powerful weapon for dealing with persistent Draugr. Likewise, an enchanted bow will turn a player undead if you choose to use it against the undead.
The Daedric bow is the best bow for DPS in the game, and you’ll get the most damage out of it if you combine it with the Mystic Binding conjuration perk. This perk will give you 100 Daedric level arrows every 120 seconds. These arrows are extremely powerful, and you’ll find that you’ll use them frequently and preferably in the most threatening situations. This bow also draws a lot faster than a regular bow, which is another plus for the Bound weapon.
