I just got and started Dawnguard, I got the first mission to - Dimhollow Crypt.
I saw that Silver weapons are good against Vampires...Does anyone know where I can
pickup a Silver Greatsword quick, for my 2 handed Warrior ?
I know Vampires have weakness to Fire....And I know they use alot of Frost magic.
I don't have any Jewelry to Ward off Frost spells. In Restoration magic I have - Steadfast Ward.
Also wondering If I can get a Necklace or other piece of enchanted Jewelry that wards off Frost ?

You kind of have to get lucky in finding silver weapons. While it says that silver weapons are good for slaying undead and ghosties, it's really a load of crap because you can't temper the weapons, rendering then practically useless to higher level players. You're better off with a steel greatsword with a fire enchantment or something.

Well... The silver weapons have a unique enchantment, good for early Dawnguard days, however true fact that theres so many stronger weapons out there.

Those Silver weps though, good to give followers.

I've only just got to the Soul Cairn bit, loving Dawnguard so far though.

Fallout 4 's keeping me away from Skyrim atm. Lol.
 
To get jewellery with decent perks, I just go to belethors shop in whiterun and look at what apparel he has, wait 48 hours and look again, keep repeating till he has something decent. You'll find what you're after but it may take time.

Silver Weapons are probably the most underrated weapons in the game, more on that in a sec.

To get some Silver Weapons head to Gallows Rock. Three Silver Hand spawn outside the fort and may spawn a 2H Bandit that wields a Greatsword. If no go, head inside. Save before entering.

"Do Not" clear the fort as this may cause the The Companions quest to "Glitch" by killing the Boss.

As for Silver Weapons. They can't be tempered on a grindstone, but they can be tempered with Enchants witch makes them viable end game. (5/5 Enchanting, up the left tree, Extra Effect)

Fire Damage + Silent Moons Enchant (While the moons are out, Burns target)

A neat, creepy element of game play is clearing out Draugr/Vampire ruins at night when the weapon is most powerful.

I love my Silver Weapons...

I just bought the ring of peeless destruction this way, took me a fair few hours of loitering at the shop but very satisfied

Well, I admit I underrated Dawnguard...It is a mysterious and interestingly engaging little adventure. With a creatively ancient Gothic vibe, and storyline...Serana is a most interesting character (And Hot! I might add)...and a great mage follower...What a twisted and awful predicament she is faced with...To have to refute against a relative (lack specifics here, just to avoid the spoiler)...

Dawnguard has definite bonuses / weapons you can use throughout Skyrim play...You gotta love the - "Drain Vitality" shout. Very effective against the heavier enemies, especially when you get ambushed...
and the crossbow is a good acquisition. Fort Dawnguard is an awesome structure in itself...
I'd say Dawnguard dosen't lack anything in the way compared to Dragonborn DLC...

The only other point, is I agree Dawnguard should be played before Dragonborn just for more sensible storyline premise...But not important. I give Dawnguard a 'thumbs up";)

Let's hope the next Elder Scrolls adventure is equally as engaging
