    Thanks, Umbra! You could use the "werewolf chat glitch" to equip five amulets of talos at once and still use the Gauldur Amulet at the same time. I'd recommend using Beast Form rather than Vampire Lord, since it has fewer negatives ... And I wouldn't bother actually using the form other than to do the glitch, since you have to re-do it each time you transform, which means getting new potions each time.

    You can do it with the Gauldur fragment with generic in-game potions, too. I forget the exact combo but it's somewhere in the comments here if you want to dig it up.

    I suppose I could, at that. I think it wad a philter and a draught...I can't recall. I might wait and go pursue St. Jiub instead, for that extra carry weight. My only gripe with infinite stamina. I wish I were back on my PC, for the simple sake of Haven Bag. Haha

    +1 from the BB here! But meeeesa have-a couple-a questions

    1)  Would the ring of Namira qualify for unlimited Stamina?

    2) "Philter, Draught, Philter" - Taken from the Unlimited Concentration Casting Guide.

    If I were to use that combo before drinking a Fortify Destruction, would the combo enhance the Destruction potion?

    IF so, the next part of the question: Would that help reach 100% Spell Absorb with the Atronach Perk.

    3) Would a Vampire with Necromage fudge-up everything above? Ya'know, screw it all up?

    1.) Yes, assuming the ring is affected by fortify restoration - some items are weird. 2.) I don't know for sure. I'm going to go on a limb and say yes. But you could also just drink multiple destruction potions of different magnitude to achieve the same effect I believe. 3.) Very much so. However, it should be possible the numbers just won't be the same - it'll be much more complex. Especially with day/night changes.

    I can confirm Kaiser's yes for Q2. Drinking that combo should enhance the Destruction potion, as Fortify Destruction is counted as a Restoration effect.

    And you would be able to achieve 100% Spell Absorption with the Ultimate Atronach Stone and the Atronach Perk. You'd actually end up with 108% Spell Absorption.

    I'm fairly sure with Necromage you'd have to work with its Fortify Restoration 25% effect. So you'd need a different combo of potions, but it could be possible.

    I think I tried just about every combination of generic in-game potions with Necromage and several different tiers of items, and couldn't get it to work. I definitely tried every potion combo specifically on the Locket of St. Jiub, but I may have been less exhaustive with the items of +20/30/40 Magicka (I think there may be others that go up to +60/70 as well, I forget).

    It's certainly possible with custom Restoration potions, but yeah, it'd take some serious mathing to find the sweet spot. Either that, or a massive stroke of luck.

    can combine the completed Gauldur amulet with a certain combo of restoration potions to grant unlimited stamina and magicka (still trying to find a trick for unlimited health).  Make a fun combo of the two builds!

    this build is a cool culmination of work we all did together many moons ago!

    Yup! I think that idea came up a few times in the comments. No one's put it to use, but man, a combination of the Seraphim + Sapiarch would be absolutely devastating!

    I'm so glad you came back, buddy. I was hoping you'd see this build.  It took about a year longer to publish than we were originally planning, but so worth the wait!

    Whoa, it's James! You've contributed some really amazing stuff to Tips and Tricks to make this build possible, mate! :)
