  • Thanks

    

  • I found that the Theives guild works better for this either do this with Flynn or Cynric. NOTE they do have shifts so best to do it with both. Also pickpocketing them is no problem because they will not care if you pickpocket them. And finally they do not need to be asleep just wait until they unequip there bow/arrow and then take their steel arrows for whatever arrows you want instead.

  • 1:50 The other archer is like, "Where'd you get those arrows John?" "I don't know, must be the blessing of Talos I received yesterday." "I'm not kidding, where'd you get the arrows?" "I'm telling you I don't know!" "You know what, I bet the Captain gave you those, it's no secret he favors you..." "...Mike?" "I done, I've had it with this town, I'm going to be an adventurer." "Wait! STOP!" *sound of arrow hitting flesh" "...oh my god. Mike?" "My Knee..."
  • I did the exact same thing tas you and had the perk but it says none of them actually have arrows on them! How come it won't work? did they patch it?

  • @tacophailure - no it still works. did you try the 'while asleep' method in the second half of the video? also, the thieves guild is better for this if you want to try there.

  • What level do you start finding daedric arrows and where?!?!?

  • i think i killed them will they be back? :)

  • It does work on consoles.

  • @pms00 ok I'll try does this work for ps3?

  • Ok now there is a guy shooting at the thieves gild but it says he doesn't have steel arrows. How do I make him shoot daedric ones?

  • @Toshfan7979 - when you don't have the perks, you have to follow the method in the second half of this video. wait for them to sleep and their arrows will show up. take all of the arrows on them and place a daedric arrow back on them.

  • @pms00 I went to thieves gild and same thing happened no one there

  • You know that you don't have to be hidden to pick someone's pocket! Doesn't even raise the odds of succes....just sayin'

  • Do you normally watch people sleep? XD

  • for anyone having trouble in doing this what I did was wait for them to fall asleep then plant arows on all 4 of them and take the steal arows and there you go

  • where did u get Daedric arrows? :/

    

  • Real strange, I did exactly this as in the video and the guard is still shooting Steel Arrows despite him no longer carrying any arrows except my Daedric one.

  • Or you can just buy the arrow and go into god mode and just shoot the same arrow while it makes copies of itself

  • @SmokeyTheBronco - that won't work on consoles

  • @pms00 i was just assuming that whoever read it would understand its for pc but my bad no biggy

  • When I go there there aren't any guys shooting...what do I do??!?!

  • @Toshfan7979 - try the same method in the thieves guild cistern.

  • how'd u get the first daedric arrrow?

  • @Darkslyfox1 well int he theives guild quest you could just pick pocket it from karliah or you could take it from chest / dead thug bodies around any aceint dwaven village. but their rare to find, i jsut don't get why they have deadric arrows at drawven ruins .-.

  • @arecusrulz Is this tro I have a ps3 does it work

  • If I walk away from this and go do something else, there's no limit to how many can be on the target at the time I come back to it, is there? Because this is really getting boring, and I've only got 450 so far.. I NEED MORREEE! XD Anyway, if there's a max limit to how many can be on the target at a time, I'll be upset. I hope there's not, because there are other things I could be doing, while getting my arrows..

  • On PS3, when you're standing there collecting arrows, u can hold down the action button (default is X) and press the PS button twice (to open and close the menu) and then the game will be extra fast and u get arrows at about 1 per second.

  • Unlimited infinite? That's pretty much the same damn thing. "a NPC?" You're kidding, right?

  • If only you could be a dwarf in skyrim that would be epic!!!

  • Right i've already done this but what i was wondering is if i go away for a few days when i come back will he still be firing daedric arrows?

  • @TheNightWalker1090 - yes. but there won't be a huge pile of them waiting for you. only up to 15ish.

  • @pms00 hav ethis been patched?

  • @unmi1231 - no. but if you don't have the pickpocket perks then you have to follow the second half of this video that shows how to do it when they are asleep.

  • @pms00 lol i went to the theives guild and put daric arrow in a guy and now hes shooting them

  • @pms00 when i go there they are not firing daedric arrows is it because i did the quest that turns solitude into storm cloak teritory?

  • @Personnn3 no i used the stormcloaks to make this video. if your guards aren't firing there are several tips buried away in these comments for how you can sprint into them to make them get closer and things like that. if you are a member of the thieves guild, just go to the cistern and pickpocket those guys because they shoot extremely fast and you'll get more arrows.

  • Wow okay now that worked haha thanks

  • Ok guys idk wats going on? But I watched this video and am trying this. But the soldiers don't have arrows on their inventory! Wtf do I do!

  • @Ch3wk - continue watching the video if you don't have pickpocket. use the 'while asleep' method.

  • i'm new to the whole arrow dupe thing. I have the perk to pickpocket his weapons, but I was just wondering - after I give him my daedric arrow to start shooting, can I leave and comeback to a target full of daedric arrows, or do I have to sit and wait for each one? Because I'd rather go off and be more productive while the guard is practicing....and thanks for the video.

  • @Cpschak7 - you can't leave and come back. if you want to speed things up, use the archers inside of the thieves guild instead. they shoot at about 5x the rate of the guards.

  • Is there any way u can speed up the process of them shooting arrows?

  • @pankers19 - not in solitude, but you can use the archer's in the thieves guild cistern once you are a member. they all shoot at a faster rate.

  • Thanks for this man :)

  • do this at the thieves guild to

  • ty so much i was never into archery becuase i only had shit arrows now i ahve daedric ty again =]

  • I was able to plant the arrows on to the guards, but only two guards are going outside to shoot and one of them is not shooting. I checked him and he does not have my arrow but it shows Deadric Arrows on his back. Even when I plant another on him, it says there isn't any on him.

  • If they dont have bows it's because they arent storm cloaks and imperials won't have a hunting bow

  • It works, no doubts, but seriously, who the hell wastes perks on pickpocketing???!!

  • @Zekee27 - you don't have to spend the perks. watch the second half of the video if you want to do it while they are sleeping.

  • @pms00 yeah I saw it after reading the comments hehe thanx XD I also found out that it works if you store one of the type of arrow desired on an Archer NPC's body than raise it as a dead thrall.. if he still has a bow equipped he will use those arrows, always, and have an unlimited amount :)

  • @Zekee27 I just went up to him, crouch, put my arrows, take his arrows, get up. All he does is say "Get away from me"

  • @Zekee27 its not wasting if you're a thief/assassin -.-''

  • If it says the person found out u were pickpocketing them, but u still planted the arrow on them, will this still work?

  • @MrDomcb4 ~ if that happens, reload your save / autosave

  • there are no archers here.....

  • "Real soldiers skip meals"

    FTW HAHHA that make me lol

  • I can't place the arrows anymore...

    I did it before and got a huge amount of arrows but when I wanted to farm some more, he was firing steel arrows again and i couldn't plant the deadric arrows, it days 0% chance is this a glitch?

  • @RiceRice17 ~ sounds like a glitch. try the thieves guild ?

  • Where are the archers specifically located in the Thieves guild ?

  • @FreshieB23 - Head to the Cistern. Just about every member will use the targets. There is a dummy by the water in the center and then a room in the back with several different targets on different spots of the wall.

  • But how do you GET dadric arrows!

  • @youre8888 - dwarven centurion masters drop them the most frequently.

  • @pms00 So not normal Dwarven centurions. BTW do you know the difference between a normal darven centurion and a master one.

  • @youre8888 There is a store named Fletcher in Solitude near the guards shooting arrows

  • Comment removed

  • I can't take his arrows they don't even show up.

  • @MMusashi420 I had this problem too. But when you go inside at the end of their shift, their inventory shows them having arrows then. I dropped a daedric and took all the steel and the next day the duping began.

  • why are they wearing whiterun guard armor lol

  • @MrTupac24 whiterun guards wear yellow. these guys are stormcloaks

  • @bigkaboom34 i meant stormcloaks

  • Is thisossible if you can't take equipped items?

  • thanks,that helped alot(iam not being sarcastic)

  • Thanks

  • Can someone please help me...I can't crouch for some reason...I keep pressing the crouch analog stick but he doesn't crouch!! please help T-T

  • @coolboy

    You have to wait til exactly 8 and they go in and follow them when they go to sleep they'll have in inventory just watch rest of video it shows how to do it if it doesn't show up at first

  • For some reason none of the archers have the steel arrows in their inventory so what do i do?

  • Good shit...

  • Thanks so much I have soooo much dadrec arrows

  • Yeah this works on x360. I'm a low level pickpocketer so what I did was fastfow. To 8pm pickpocket them switched arrows. I have two guards shooting ebony arrows lol. Its been 15 min and I got 120 arrows. Just sprint in to the guard shooting and eventually they will shoot together

  • Does this work as of right now?

  • why is it when i go to solitude the archers are not shooting there bows? is there something i should do cause before they used to shoot now they dont! "my luck i guess" -.-

  • @9mm034 - what about the thieves guild?

  • @9mm034 are you going at day or night? cause if you go at night they are sleeping.

  • @9mm034 You need to give them the arrow before they go to the castel , then take away the steel arrow at night

  • awesome vid pms00

  • or you just use cheats

  • Thanks a lot man only 1 problem I don't know where to find a daedric arrow

  • Hey guys, for some reason this was not working for me and I found another option. Add 1 or 2 of whatever arrow you want to a guard's inventory and then give him a good punch, then run like hell so you're far enough that he'll try to shoot you, he'll equip your arrow because it's better than steel. Then quickly surrender before he can fire the arrow. He'll return to the target and you'll get the same outcome.

  • what brings a high elf to learn the pickpocket skill?

  • @xPFSFx - because race is nearly meaningless in Skyrim, unlike Oblivion.

  • @pms00 i was joking...

  • @xPFSFx It's a single player game.. Do whatever you want :p

  • How do u do this without perks?

  • @Mrbibbleonline - did you watch the full video? do the second half method where they are asleep.

  • I accedently killed that guy who shoots arrows in the theives guild... (playing on ps3) any tips to get him back? x)

    (can't load either)

  • @h3nrikoo - almost everyone in the thieves guild shoots arrows. at least one of them has to be alive.

  • Comment removed

  • Real soldiers skip meals lol

  • Could you use vampire dust instead of the invisibility thing? Just curious, thanks!!:)

  • Give the arrows to Thryn at thieves guild.. he shoots really fast and trains often

  • Yo guys do this : easy trick with the console code :

    type : player.additem 139C0 10000

    ( the last number is the number of arrows u want to get ) enjoy easy way and have fun !

    -- Jackingport --

  • You sir are a fucking genious!

  • They seemed to have fixed this glitch in the latest patch. Now the guard's just shooting iron arrows instead of deadric...

  • @DiarrheaChain - watch the second half of the video if you don't have the perks.

  • it didnt work i did it excactly like u did

  • @TaTdrizzell07 - the second half of the vid? if you don't have the pickpocket perks, you have to wait until they are asleep.

  • im level 79 but i cant find daedric arrows???

  • @GAMMAGAMR - at 79 you should be seeing them everywhere. dwarven centurion masters and draugr deathlords should always drop them for you.

  • I put a daedric arrow after taking all his iron arrows, but he keeps throwing iron arrows :<

  • @GuiNaZZu You have to have the skill to pickpocket his equipped items if you don't like he says in his video wait for that guard to go to sleep then you can switch it

  • Ok so i bought the perk and i tried pickpocket-ing and i realized that their equipped weapons Will Not show up if you do not have your weapons put your weapons(s) away

    Invisibility potion

    Chaurus Eggs

    Crimson Nirnroot

    Ice Wraith Teeth

    Nirnroot

    Luna Moth Wing

    Vampire Dust

  • Thank you very much very detailed helped me alot :)

  • thumbs up for the soldier at the end who takes 3 years to aim at a target three feet away. (Y)

    

  • One prob.... by bounty is 5000+ in solitude... is there any other area to do this?

  • @TheShadowW0lf - works with any archers. thieves guild for example is great and they shoot faster than solitude.

  • @pms00 Thnx!

  • @TheShadowW0lf In riften at the thives guild. there is one guy there

  • Great guide! I love how you showed how to get the arrows even without the pick pocketing perk, again great guide!

    5/5

  • this doesn't work... on my PS3 it doesn't even show the guard having arrows or a bow equipped. when I take the invisibility potion the guards still detect me

  • I just figured out that you can get the second soldier to start shooting arrows by standing against him for a second, causing him to move, then he starts firing arrows at the same rate as the first soldier. Double the arrows!

  • thank you

  • does this work on PS3?

  • "Real soldiers skip the meals" rsrsrsrsrsrsrsrsrs

  • When i go into there inventory I don't see the arrow they are shooting so when i give them the daedric one they keep on shooting steel! any help?

  • @CryoVoltage - watch the full video ?

  • @pms00 where do you find daedric arrows in the first place?

  • @xRaw381 i found deadric arrows in mzulft a dwemmer ruin after opening a door and getting attacked (pretty deep in the ruin) by one of them big collus things or whatever i killed him and took 9 deadric arrows by looting his body! of course i may have just gotten lucky

  • @xRaw381 You can find Daedric arrows on Dwarven Centurion Masters, Just search them after you kill them

  • @pms00 Ya the problem was I didn't do it while they were sleeping. Good video thx for the help :D

  • @CryoVoltage I am pretty sure you need to have pickpocketing at 100 and you need to have the perk to pickpocket equipped items and weapons.

  • @CryoVoltage Jus t found out you need 100 pickpocket and must have Misdirection for it aswell.

  • @CryoVoltage No sorry it is Perfect Touch.

  • Comment removed

  • how did you get that mace

  • @pms00 thanks for the nice video! Now i can use my daedric arrows

  • If you do this at the Thieves Guild, they shoot a LOT faster!! Thumbs up so everyone can see!

  • @RiSKphycozero What time do they start and finish?

  • Doesnt work

  • @UNBOUNDMODDER - wrong. watch the full video.

  • fanx ahoulla lot worked like a charm ;-)

  • ...Why are they called "Stormcloak Guards" if this is in Solitude....mine come up as "Solitude Guards"

  • @bwomp91 - i had sided with the stormcloaks in the civil war on this character. it works the same way with solitude guards, which i've confirmed on my current imperial-sided character.

  • @pms00 Ah I didn't know you'd finished the game at this point. Another question...if I leave for multiple game days and come back, will he still be shooting the same kind of arrow or will he have reverted back to the original?

    Thanks!

  • @bwomp91 - you can leave and come back and he will still have the arrows. however, just to be clear, there will not be a ton of daedric arrows waiting for you. you still have to stand there and spam the "take" option.

  • @pms00 me2 :P

  • new tip: max arrows that can be queued on the target - 15. after 15 arrows are fired, the first will disappear.

  • do i have to be a certain lvl for daedric arrows to drop???

  • @Gazkhuul yes

  • @pms00 Do you know what lvl i have to be? Im lvl 36 almost 37... how much higher?

  • @Gazkhuul - they start showing up on centurions around level 25. you should be seeing them by now. keep checking those dwarven ruins

  • How do I get a daedric arrow early in the game?

  • @Wahozzy - dwarven centurion masters are the only ones that can drop them before they start showing up on draugr and archer npc's.

  • That soldier at the right didn't want to shoot his arrows cause he knew u were gunna take em ha

  • After I've given him a desired arrow, can i just wait there from 8 30am till 8pm and will the firing plate be full of the desired arrow?

  • @showking5319 if you can't see his arrows you probably don't have pickpocketing perks therefore if you just place your desired arrow the guards will not shoot it because they are still using their equipped arrows which you can't see because you don't have the required perks. Jump to 2:13, from there on it shows you how to do it without perks.

  • @fututrepilot1 Thats not whats being asked... He's asking if he can use the Wait ability to wait a full shift and find the target full of arrows or if he has to sit there real time and collect one by one.

  • If you give your follower a daedric arrow will she be able to shoot continuously with them?

  • @Waffenmeister13 - yes.

  • thank you so much

  • Thank you !! Sub

  • Great video, i just used some low level pickpocketing potions cause im a noob at it. Turns out well. But i hate how you have to stand there, such a shame it didnt shoot when you do the wait command thingy

  • I dont really get it, so you take the guards arrows, and replace them with a good arrow, and steal any new arrows if he has them, lolz he

  • For me they don't have the arrows...

  • @2000huggs - watch the entire video or read the description.

  • @pms00 Now they don't appear.

  • @2000huggs - watch the entire video and do the method of pickpocketing while they are asleep shown in the second half.

  • @2000huggs No dude, I waited for like 2 days and they don't appear.

  • Well apparently this doesn't work on PS3 because you can't pickpocket any of the guards arrows they have equipped. For me it doesn't even show they have arrows in their inventory.
