Glass Armor (Skyrim)



 is one of the light armor sets available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Description
Glass Armor is a type of light armor that can be found by killing the Guards at "Northwatch Keep " (in some cases, these guards have been found to only carry glass weapons but wear elven armor) in the Northwest part of the map. Continue Northwest of Pinemoon Cave and you will find it (Castle Icon on the map). It can also be bought or crafted. It is the second best type of light armor, surpassed only by Dragon Armor, although some consider Nightingale armor better because of the unmatched bonuses for stealth and sneak based characters.

Smithing
Glass armor can be crafted at a Forge with the Glass Smithing perk which is available with a Smithing level of at least 70. The armor requires Refined Moonstone and Refined Malachite to forge. Moonstone ore can be mined early, as can the Malachite Ore.

Upgrading
Glass armor can be upgraded at a workbench and requires Refined Malachite. This will increase the armor value of the item. The amount increased is dependent upon your smithing skill.

Trivia

 * Thalmor Guards at Northwatch Keep, assuming the player is of a sufficiently high level, will wear full suits of Glass Armor. Completing the quest Missing In Action will cause Northwatch Keep to become deserted.
 * The Guard Barracks at The Thalmor Embassy contain sleeping guards, two of which will usually wear full suits of Glass Armor, even after completing the quest Diplomatic Immunity.
 * Members of Thalmor patrols will start wearing glass armor in later levels replacing the elven armor that they wore previously
