Talk:Daedric Armor (Oblivion)

Archived Version
Daedric armor is among the best in The Elder Scrolls series, mostly worn by Dremora Lords and Princes. Pieces of this armor begin to appear by level 20 in the leveld lists in Oblivion, its enchanted variants by level 22. It offers excellent protection but as a drawback it is also very heavy and cumbersome.

Note: Results for armor rating are the maximum armor possible for each piece/set with maximum Heavy Armor skill. Base Value refers to the value of the item without mercantile and/or disposition affecting it.

Background
The art of creating Daedric equipment has been a mystery to many people for thousands of years, previously believed to have originated from the plains of Oblivion. The process of creating Daedic equiment is now no longer a mystery, though no one is quite sure of the identity of the discoverer of this technique.

Daedric equipment is crafted from Ebony, an incredibly strong metal, mined almost exclusively in the island of Vvardenfell in Morrowind. After the metal is processed, a Conjurer will summon a lesser Daedra, whose is bound to the object for the rest of eternity. Those fortunate or wealthy enough to wield one of these legendary armaments sometimes claim to be able to hear the tormented moans of the Daedra trapped inside. The equipment itself is incredibly powerful, even more so than Ebony, and has high potential for enchanting.
