You should now be getting bonuses from all 4 stones, in the Active Effects menu. Go the next stone, and activate it, pressing the hotkey as soon as the dialogue is accepted. Now, bind the crown to a hotkey to make unequipping and equipping it easier. Travel to the Guardian Stones, and activate one of the stones. When wearing the Aetherial Crown, activate the Lover Stone.
#Aetherial crown trick Patch
To level up quickly (before patch 1.9), take the The Mage Stone and The Lover Stone with the Aetherial Crown unequipped.The player can also rely on armor enchanted with Fortify Smithing to further boost this skill. Necromage should boost this when a vampire. All of these bonuses combined give a 65% XP bonus when it comes to Smithing. Go to the nearest owned bed and sleep to receive the Well Rested (+10% XP) or Lover's Comfort (+15% XP). With the Lover Stone on the crown, take off the crown (this should be confirmed by the text "Lover stone removed"). Next complete the quest " Unfathomable Depths" to obtain the perk Ancient Knowledge (+25% bonus when wearing Dwarven Armor and Smithing increases 15% faster). With the Aetherial Crown, go to the Guardian Stones (+20% to Thief, Mage, or Warrior Skill trees), then choose The Warrior Stone. A fast method to level Smithing can be done with the crown by first taking the Lover Stone (+15% XP to all skills).However, being a Werewolf nullifies this entirely, as they cannot benefit from resting. If the quest is not within eight hours travel from home, find a nearby tavern, buy a room and settle for 45% +XP for eight hours minus the journey to the nearby quest. Using this method can yield as high an +XP% as 50% (if the other stone is one of the Guardian Stones) for eight hours after resting. The way around this is to store the Lover Stone in the Aetherial Crown and unequip it before resting.

Ordinarily, Rested (+5% XP), Well Rested (+10% XP) and Lover's Comfort (+15% XP) are not given while having The Lover Stone as the active stone.For a Dragonborn interested in leveling up as quickly as possible, they can have both the Lover Stone and any of the three Guardian Stones, which grants a 35% bonus.Daily greater powers (such as The Ritual Stone) can be used multiple times per day by placing the specific stone on the Aetherial Crown and re-equipping after it is used, essentially resetting the power.For example, attaching it to The Steed Stone allows it to become a useful item that can vastly increase carry capacity when needed, or attaching it to the Tower stone power with it for saving lockpicks. Attaching the crown to a particular stone can allow it to be used in situational circumstances.This, however, will only increase the value-its armor rating will still be at zero. The crown can be upgraded at a workbench with a Dwarven Metal Ingot. It can only be crafted in the Aetherium Forge during the quest " Lost to the Ages." It requires the following components:Īpart from the Aetherium Crest which is assembled during the quest, all other materials to craft the crown can be found in the Aetherium forge room on tables to the left and right of the forge. If the Dragonborn is a vampire with the Restoration perk Necromage, the standing stone power in the Aetherial Crown is boosted with the 25% strength increase and 50% duration increase in accordance with the perk. Once a Standing Stone's power is imbued into the Aetherial Crown it has the unique opportunity to increase the strength of the Standing Stone's effect. Re-equipping it restores the older effect. If the crown is unequipped, the older of the two stones' effects is removed. This lightweight circlet allows the Dragonborn to retain the last Standing Stone power they selected, while allowing them to select another one.Įquipping the crown allows two Standing Stone powers to be in effect simultaneously.
