Luckily, there are many ways to stay warm, like standing next to fires, using torches, or selecting armor and clothing that has higher warmth ratings. Players can also make hot soups using fire salts, which makes the character warmer in addition to restoring health and stamina.
skyrim survival mode armor warmth ratings
Gear: The only required gear are the Ironhand gauntlets, otherwise, he was a mashup of gear, preferring gear that keeps you warm and has an enchantment, as armor has a warmth rating now in Surivival Mode. I ended up with a heavy steel helmet (archery), a light armor cuirass of your choice (fortify health preferable), light armored boots (stamina or stamina regen in the later game). Stormcloak gear will involve the officer's helmet infused with a weak archery enchantment, which with unperked enchanting and a filled grand soul gem will give you about a 12% boost to the skill. I also enchanted the Stormcloak cuirass with fortify health. The Gauldur Amulet for endgame or at least the stamina fragment or any magical necklace or ring (Amulet of Talos for rp or Kynareth for stamina boost, or even resistance). I wasn't especially picky. This build can't afford to be because artifacts are extremely rare with Morrowloot installed. Hawk feathers (an easy cure disease option that doesn't cost a lot of gold, think of it like Kyne blessing your body with the symbol of her power), salmon steak (a light food, .1 carryweight, that restores 220 points of hunger), cabbage soup, potato soup (restores 380 poins of hunger), fire salts (to infuse foods with soothing properties that restore warmth), Beef stew, Venison stew, Vegetable soup (for regeneration properties), mead (because he's a Nord), potions (because he'll need them). The best bow of your choice and only 100 arrows, because they have carryweight in Survival Mode.
Survival Mode - This is a new mode introduced by the Creation Club and available for SSE. There was a week where all platforms could get it for free, but now it costs 800 credits. It's a mode that introduces survival aspects; cold, fatigue, encumberance, and hunger to the game. Yes, there are mods that do this, and do this very well, but while I had my reservations about it when I participated in the Beta, now that I've given it a try in a legitimate playthrough, I actually like a lot about it, with some modifications. Oldrim players can simulate Survival mode's effects with either iNeed or RND and Frostfall. I did like, however, that I had all the mechanics in one place and Survival mode does some other interesting things that these mods don't do. You are now required to eat and sleep or face stunted mechanics, even death if you're not careful enought. In addition, you no longer regenerate health passively (there are workarounds), fast travel is disabled, you must sleep to level up, and shrines now cost money for blessings. Skyrim is now divided into zones ranging from comfortable and warm to treacherously cold. Swimming in water can now be deadly, depending on where you swim.
6. 200 warmth is your goal - Aim for a warmth level of around 200 to avoid suffering, even in the most frigid conditions, though Nords, Khajiit, and I believe Orcs can get away with a bit less since they are given warmth bonuses. Mine hovered at around 170, depending on what armor I was using. This is best accomplished through the use of certain light armor, especially fur and when I knew the Winter Bear would be stuck for long periods in unfavorable conditions, I would carry a spare set of fur armor.
This is my first time ever attempting to play in survival mode. It seems interesting right now but I'm only barely to whiterun at this point. I dont really know the ins and outs of survival mode and was wondering if you guys had any tips or things to always do while on this mode? Anything helps really. Thanks!
take your time, invest in heavy armor, as you level it has better warmth ratings, pick up salt and cook food, and be prepared to rent a room at every town you stop in. keep a torch on you for a little extra warmth. prepare and plan ahead. 2ff7e9595c
