Standing Stone Options

[King Coin]

Which Standing Stones in Skyrim have you all used? Which is your favorite? Do you switch regularly, or do you generally take just one and keep it?



To answer my own questions, I've used very few of them. I start with one of the Guardian Stones that you pass on the way to Riverwood at the beginning of the game, and then switch it out when I find the one I want.

I've used only two of the other Stones in game: Atronach and Lord. My favorite is the Lord Stone because my primary character is a light armor, dual sword Khajiit. Its bonus to armor and resistance to magic without any negative effects is invaluable. Aravi has only switched once, and that was to replace the Warrior Stone with the Lord Stone.

I typically start with whichever guardian stone suits my character best. Then like KC, I switch out to another when the opportunity arises. I never used very many of the vanilla stones though. Just the Lord stone, and the Steed stone.

After I modded the game to make the stones more useful (to me at least), I started using a lot more of them. For example, I changed the Mage stone to give you a bonus of +50 magicka, the Warrior stone to give you a +20% damage with one and two handed, and the Thief stone to give a 50% muffle and a +20% damage with bows. Almost all the others got changed too. After doing that, I have used nearly all the stones in the game.
