Jewelry (specifically, amulets/necklaces and rings), can be created at any blacksmith's forge from ingots and jewels, but these are not counted as protective armor (the two exceptions to this are noted in the section above) similarly, circlets/crowns - like common clothing - have no armor/protection value and cannot be crafted.

Tempering an enchanted version of the armor (whether custom- enchanted, or generic) is similar to tempering the base version - it requires the same auxiliary item, and is twice as effective if you have unlocked the forging perk - but also requires the Arcane Blacksmith perk to be unlocked. Tempering is twice as effective if you have unlocked the perk necessary to forge that armor. All standard armor can also be tempered at Workbenches, if you have the necessary auxiliary item. The ability to make armor is not dependent upon your character's level, but is instead dependent upon which Smithing perks you have unlocked. Most armor from the list below can be created at Forges, by using the Smithing skill. Although Dragonscale, Dragonplate, and Daedric armors can all be found in random loot, once your level is high enough, the chances of finding any of these armor types is 20 times less than finding other armor types. See Leveled Lists for details on how these lists are used to determine the probabilities of individual items appearing. Enchanted versions of each armor type will begin to appear one level later see Generic Magic Apparel for more information. Lower level armor will also randomly appear, but so will higher level armors in certain situations: potentially up to at least 12 levels 'early'. The following tables describe the base level at which an armor type begins to show up randomly for the player. Which quality armor you will find is generally determined based on your character's level. Higher quality armor provides better protection (but is generally heavier). Armor Materials Īrmor appears in several different materials and styles, which determine the quality of the armor.

In addition to standard pieces of armor, two necklaces in the game provide an armor bonus: the Locket of Saint Jiub DG, and the Amulet of Articulation.

The Divine Crusader Creation adds an additional type of armor: the Fastened Shield of the Crusader, which is a Shoulder piece. Gauntlets: covers your hands up to your elbow.Armor: covers your legs, chest and shoulders.In addition, there are shields which provide an additional passive increase to armor rating (active blocking is governed by the Block skill).Īrmor comes in several pieces which can be equipped independently of each other. Armor comes in two varieties, corresponding to the two different skills governing armor usage: Heavy Armor and Light Armor. Armor is a type of apparel that is worn on the body to reduce damage from attacks.
