Iron Armor is a piece of heavy armor and part of the Iron Armor set found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Locations[]
Enchanted and unenchanted variants begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 1. These locations include:
- Blacksmiths and General Goods Merchants.
- Found as random loot in chests or as a world item.
- Worn by Bandits.
Smithing[]
Iron Armor requires no prerequisite Smithing level or perks to forge. It can be crafted at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 3 × Leather Strips
- 5 × Iron Ingot
It can be upgraded with an Iron Ingot at a workbench, however it does not benefit from any Smithing perks.
This means the armor cannot be improved past flawless quality without boosting the Smithing skill over 100. This can be achieved by using enchanted items and/or blacksmithing potions to fortify Smithing.
