Elven Weapons (Skyrim)

For other uses, see Elven Weapons.

Elven Weapons are a set of weapons available in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Description

These items can be found throughout Skyrim and are originally made and designed by the Mer. They are the primary weapons used by Thalmor soldiers. In comparison with other weapons they are more powerful than iron, steel, orcish and dwarven weapons, but not as powerful as glass weapons. 

Aesthetically speaking, Elven weapons are very lightweight with slender, curved edges and elegant eagle designs, using sharp angles and gentle curves to invoke the shape of birds of prey.

Smithing

With the Elven Smithing perk, Elven Weapons may be crafted at any Forge using the Smithing skill and the correct components. Elven Weapons are made from Refined Moonstone and Quicksilver Ingots. Most items also require Iron Ingots and Leather Strips. The weapons can be upgraded at a grindstone and require one Refined Moonstone.

 Do not change these numbers to higher values. They represent the base damage of each weapon.
