What many players don’t know is that there’s actually a way to make Daedric armor and weapons without ever interacting with a smithing forge. Related: Why Skyrim's Illusionist Assassin Is A Terrifying Character Build Reaching 90 levels in Smithing is a time-consuming, labor-intensive process that usually boils down to mining, smelting, and crafting hundreds of iron daggers. Moreover, players cannot craft Daedric gear without attaining the level 90 Daedric Smithing perk. This is first a costly process, as it involves spending money to buy the requisite Leather Strips, Ebony Ingots and Daedra Hearts. Typically, the best way to ensure getting a set is to forge it.

Only Dragonbone weapons can surpass Daedric quality, and in terms of defense, even Dragonbone cannot match the armor rating offered by Daedric heavy armor.Īt higher levels, Daedric weapons and armor can be found as leveled loot, but this is rare and unpredictable. Likewise, anyone wielding a Daedric weapon into battle poses a large threat, dealing more damage than practically anything else in the game, even including Stalhrim from the Dragonborn DLC.

Of all the armors available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, none have the force of presence commanded by a full Daedric armor set.
