Daedric Armor (Skyrim)

''I can only tell you tales of how to make Daedric armor. I have never seen it myself, nor do I know anyone that has. The stories say that it should always be worked on at night... ideally under a new or full moon, and never during an eclipse. A red harvest moon is best. Ebony is the principle material, but at the right moment a daedra heart must be thrown into the fire.''

- Book of "Heavy Armor Forging"

Daedric Armor is a set of heavy armor available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.



Characteristics
In order to craft Daedric armor, the player must have a skill level of at least 90 in Smithing and have obtained the Daedric Smithing perk. Conjurers who have completed their Ritual Spell at level 90 can also create Daedric armor at the Atronach Forge.



Daedric armor is a set of heavy armor found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Below is a list of different types of Daedric armor that can be crafted in Skyrim with their stats and the necessary materials. Ebony Ingots are required and can be made from Ebony Ore (see Gloombound Mine), although generally you will have a much easier time buying ingots from smiths or general stores. Daedra Hearts are required and can be bought from alchemists or found on dead Dremora.

Obtaining Daedra Hearts

 * Four Daedra Hearts can be acquired if the player has completed Pieces of the Past, by going to the Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon (found east of Morthal). Nearing the entrance you will encounter two leveled Dremora which drop one Daedra Heart each. Inside the shrine you'll meet two more leveled but weaker Dremora who also drop a Daedra Heart each upon death. This process can be repeated every 7 in-game days for more hearts.
 * Three Daedra Hearts can be gained by completing the Daedric quest for Azura's Star given by Azura the Daedric Prince of Dusk and Dawn. For the final stage of the quest, the player will go into the star itself during the quest and fight three Daedra who each drop one Daedra Heart. This may prove difficult for low level characters due to the fact that the Daedra are powerful Destruction Mages, but any player over level thirty should be fine provided they are careful. The Slow Time Dragon Shout may prove particularly helpful. As a bonus, the player will obtain a reusable soul gem that can constantly be refilled and reused to charge weapons or devices.


 * One Daedra Heart can be found in Jorrvaskr Living Quarters, sitting on a plate in the room outside Kodlak Whitemane's personal quarters at the far end of the hallway. It will respawn after a few in-game days have passed without you visiting the building, so you can repeatedly steal the heart over the course of many days if you are patient enough to wait for it to come back or just go do something else. If The Companions questline has not been completed, this heart must be stolen.


 * One Daedra Heart can be found in Blackreach, in Sinderion's alchemy house.
 * Can be bought in The College of Winterhold from Enthir, who will restock them every 48 hours.
 * Can be bought from Babette of the Dark Brotherhood.
 * One can be found by showing the Gourmet's Writ of Passage obtained during the Recipe for Disaster quest to a random traveling man who is collecting herbs for the Gourmet.
 * One can sometimes spawn in Anise's Cabin, which is located North-West of Riverwood (across the river).


 * Two can be obtained during the daedric quest Waking Nightmare in the lab while searching for Vaermina's Torpor.


 * A sure way to obtain a Daedra Heart is by using the Atronach Forge, using the correct recipe. You can also create some Daedric Armor and Weapons in the Atronach Forge as well.


 * Occasionally, a Summoned Dremora can be killed and drop a heart. For example, using Sanguine Rose to summon a Dremora and killing it will sometimes yield the heart (although this could be a bug, unconfirmed).
 * Two can be bought from Herluin Lothaire (assuming you have finished the 2 special quests/requests given by Delvin).
