you wont find a better sword than umbra at lv. 1 of course once you master blade then daedric and ebony swords once enchanted can be much more useful....i love to tease clavicus lol he gets mad but whats he gonna do lol

A good bow/arrow would be (You need to be apart of the dark brotherhood,security at apprentice recommended) ,the bow of Infernal Frost (in imperial market district) and the Arrows of cleansing,do the "arrow glitch" with a different set of arrows,dont get shivering isles/a update on your 360/comp,otherwise,the glitch doesnt work.

Another thing is to enchant weapons,I have.I currently have a Akaviry katana that i renamed the Pale Pass Akaviri Katana,Has major frost damage,and drains Acrobatics,Atheletics,and Strength,I also have the Hetithorn (Yes,named after the sufferthorn),which has 20 Fire damage,20 Frost Damage (Frost damage in a 10 ft area),nice

I like enchanting weapons,it gives me a chance to create my own things

try enchanting a weapon with either frost/fire or shock 20 points then add drain health 100 points .....few enemies have over 100 HP (goblins lv 25+ minotaur lords liches and ogres 25+ and some daedra (storm atronach . xivilai ) and NONE have more than 100 hp at lower levels the drain health enchantment is surprisingly cheap compared to the absorb health and the damage health enchantments and is quite useful for bows while sneak attacking 3X damage = 300 drain health ...not bad... the only problem is when you enchant a weapon you will probably enchant it as much as you can ....restricting the number of uses....which is why i use dawn/dusk fang.....i also think is sucks that you cant add more than 1600 charge on your weapons when i see other weapons have 6000 i would have made the black soul gems more powerful that the grand ones ....that way black soul gems would actually be useful....
