Daedric Weapons (Skyrim)

Daedric Weapons are among the strongest weapons available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, apart from Dragonbone Weapons and unique weapons such as Daedric artifacts. Similar to their predecessors, Daedric weaponry in Skyrim possesses craftsmanship similar to Daedric armor, in that they feature sharp, jagged edges, are crafted from ebony and daedra hearts, and possess red, glowing filigree. Smithed and randomly acquired Daedric weapons can be enchanted, via an Arcane Enchanter, with Soul Gems, with the exclusion of Daedric Arrows.

Acquisition
Daedric weapons can be found in chests or dungeons as random loot at high levels.

Smithing
In order to craft Daedric weapons, the player must have both obtained a Smithing skill level of at least 90 and learned the Daedric Smithing perk. Smithing Daedric weapons employs Leather Strips, Ebony Ingots, and Daedra Hearts, with the exclusion of Daedric Arrows, which cannot be crafted.

Attributes by piece
Damage values are base values, independent of One-Handed, Two-Handed, and Archery skill levels and perks.

NOTE: Most of these weapons' damage stats varied from the stats given on their individual weapon pages: the one-handed weapons in particular looked quite a long way out. These have been corrected to the figures shown on their individual pages for consistency and greater accuracy. If you think that they are different from what you is here then don't hesitate to ask on the talk page.

Atronach Forge
Daedric weaponry can also be crafted at the Atronach Forge, however to do so requires a Sigil Stone that can only be obtained via the Conjuration Ritual Spell, which requires a Conjuration skill of 90 to initiate.

 * Sigil Stone

Trivia

 * Bound weapons take on an ethereal quality, but use the same design as Daedric Weapons.
 * When wielding a Daedric weapon, guards may say, "Who did you have to kill to get that blade?"
 * Some deadric weapons do more damaged than deadric artifacts of the same weapon type. This depends on your level.
