Blackguard's Armor

 is a unique set of light armor found in Raven Rock on Solstheim. It is almost identical to Linwe's Armor Set.

Acquisition
The full set is in a display case in the basement of Glover Mallory's House. The basement can only be entered after completing the following quests for Glover Mallory:
 * Retrieve the Ancient Nordic Pickaxe
 * Paid in Full

Once these are completed, a key to the basement is granted and any items in it can be taken without incident. The set respawns, along with most of the rest of the items in the basement, after a certain amount of time.

Enchantment
The enchantments on this armor set are identical to those found on the Guild Master's Armor Set, but the boots, gloves and hood are 5% more powerful.

Smithing
All pieces can be upgraded at a workbench with piece of leather and the Arcane Blacksmith perk, however they do not benefit from any smithing perks.

This means this armor cannot be improved past flawless quality without boosting the smithing skill over 100. This can be achieved by wearing enchanted items and/or using blacksmithing potions to fortify smithing.

Trivia

 * This set is both stronger in enchantment and may be acquired earlier than the Guild Master's Armor. However, its base armor rating is lower.
 * The armor set respawns after a few days, therefore more than one set can be obtained.

Bugs

 * The Blackguard's Hood has the same missing mesh problem on vampires as the Thieves Guild Hood does.
