- For other uses, see Daedric Weapons.
Daedric Weapons are among the strongest weapons available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Physical appearance
Though crafted from ebony, Daedric weapons have a much more fearsome aesthetic true to their inhuman origins, featuring jagged, saw-like blades, glowing red filigree, and an overall design that blends rough organic curves with smooth, artificial edges.
Locations
Daedric weaponry is very rare and can only be found or bought in a handful of places. Unenchanted Daedric weapons will begin to appear throughout the world at level 46 and enchanted weapons can be found at level 47. These locations include:
- Sold by the Dremora Merchant after level 47.
- Niranye in Windhelm often sells enchanted bows after level 47 once she is available as a fence.
- Tonilia in The Ragged Flagon often sells both enchanted and unenchanted bows after level 47.
- Found as random loot in boss level chests.
- Dropped as random loot by Revered or Legendary Dragons.
- Possible reward from certain quests if completed after level 47.
Smithing
Daedric weapons require a Smithing level of 90 and the Daedric Smithing perk to create. They can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
They can be upgraded with an Ebony ingot at a grindstone and also benefits from the Daedric Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement. Daedric arrows are the only Daedric items that require firewood to be crafted.
