Oblivion Flint Crew Weapons Guide: A Veteran's Tales of Triumph and... Uh... Mostly Triumph

Hey gamers! So, you're diving into the crazy world of Oblivion's Flint Crew, huh? Been there, done that, got the (slightly rusty) sword to prove it. Let me tell you, these guys are tough. But with the right weapons and a little bit of know-how, you can totally dominate them. I'm talking serious loot, my friends, serious loot.

Choosing Your Weaponry: More Than Just a Pretty Sword

Right off the bat, let me share a boneheaded move I made early on. I thought, "Oh, my enchanted greatsword will totally shred these guys!" Wrong. So very, very wrong. The Flint Crew aren't just about brute force; they're sneaky, they're fast, and they hit hard.

My first few encounters were… humbling, to say the least. I got my butt handed to me on a silver platter more times than I care to admit. I was frustrated! Turns out, you need a strategy, not just raw power.

What Works (and What Doesn't)

What works:

• Fast Weapons: Seriously, speed is key. Daggers, rapiers, even fast swords—anything that lets you land multiple hits before they can even blink. The Flint Crew's armor isn't that great; quick strikes are your best bet.
• Enchantments Matter: Don't underestimate the power of weapon enchantments. Something that adds fire damage or paralyzes your foes can make a huge difference. I personally swear by fire damage, it melts those tough Flint dudes like butter. Think about it: fire damage is your best friend.
• Armor Piercing: Armor-piercing enchantments are also a big help because this crew is often armored up. I wish I'd known that earlier! It would have saved me a lot of frustration.
• Potions: Don't forget potions! Restoration potions are essential for healing up, and Fortify Strength potions can give you a temporary boost to your damage output. Seriously, don't skip this.

What doesn't:

• Slow, Heavy Weapons: Greatswords and maces are just too slow against the Flint Crew's speed. You'll end up getting hit way too often before you can even land a blow.
• Low-Level Gear: If you're rocking rusty old iron swords, you're in for a world of hurt. Upgrade your equipment before you even think about tackling these guys.

My Go-To Loadout

After many, many attempts, I finally developed a setup that worked like a charm. This is what I recommend:

• Weapon: A fast, enchanted dagger or rapier, ideally with fire damage and/or paralysis. Think something like a "Flame Tongue" with a +50 Fire Damage enchantment!
• Secondary Weapon: A bow and arrows. It lets you attack from a distance if things get hairy, and believe me, they will.
• Armor: Anything with decent armor rating and ideally some magic resistance. The Flint Crew can hit hard; you don't want to be one-shotted.

Tactics That Saved My Bacon (And Might Save Yours)

The Flint Crew fights dirty. Don't get cocky.

• Use the environment: Narrow passages or choke points can make it easier to fight them one at a time.
• Don't be greedy: If you start getting overwhelmed, retreat and heal up. It's better to survive and fight another day than to get killed and lose all your loot.
• Paralyze/Stun!: Enchantments that paralyze or stun enemies are invaluable here. They give you those crucial extra seconds to land a critical hit, or escape. This is a game changer, I tell you!

Remember, this is just my experience. Experiment with different weapons, enchantments, and strategies to find what works best for you. And hey, if you still get your butt kicked—well, at least you'll have a good story to tell! Good luck out there, and happy hunting!
