Unenchanted shields will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 48 and enchanted variants can be found at level 49. These locations include:
- Found as random loot in chests.
- Dropped as random loot by Legendary Dragons.
- Dremora Merchants will also occasionally sell Daedric shields at higher levels, both unenchanted and enchanted variants.
