Scaled Armor (Skyrim)

Scaled and Plate Armor in Skyrim is created by learning the Advanced Armors skill in the Light Armor branch of Smithing. They are available for crafting under the Steel category at a forge. Scaled armor is a Light Armor and provides better protection than Elven Armor but not as good protection as Glass Armor. Plate Armor is a Heavy Armor and provides better protection than Dwarven Armor but not as good protection as Orcish Armor.
