Smithing[]
A Dwarven sword requires a Smithing level of 30 and the Dwarven Smithing perk to create. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 1 x Dwarven Metal Ingot
- 1 x Steel Ingot
- 1 x Leather Strip
- 1 x Iron Ingot
It can be upgraded with a Dwarven metal ingot at a grindstone and also benefits from the Dwarven Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
Trivia[]
- The Dwarven Sword design may have been inspired from the primary sword used by Ancient Roman foot soldiers, or the bronze sword of Goujian, as it shares many design similarities with both.
