Hold Guards[src]

Fixed locations

Without helmet

Full set

Separate pieces

Smithing

Steel Plate Armor requires a Smithing level of 50 and the Advanced Armors perk to create. Pieces can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:

Pieces can be upgraded with a Corundum ingot at a workbench, and also benefits from the Advanced Armors perk, which doubles the improvement.

Trivia

  • Originally, this armor was to be called "Nord Plate Armor," according to the book of concept art which came with the collector's version of the game.
  • It was supposed to have a matching "Steel Plate Shield," as seen in The Official Guide to Skyrim. Statistics for this were 28 armor, 14 weight, and 325 value.
  • Jarl Balgruuf the Greater wears a set of this armor without the helmet during the Battle for Whiterun, if the player sides with the Stormcloaks.
  • At low levels, the entire set (except for the helmet) can be obtained by finding Uthgerd the Unbroken, brawling her, recruiting her as a follower, then killing her outside the city.
  • Due to its high value, crafting Steel Plate Armor instead of regular Steel armor is a good way to level up Smithing faster after achieving 50 Smithing.
  • This armor is very similar in protection to Orcish armor without the shield.
  • Because Steel Plate was worn by Gormlaith Golden-Hilt during the Dragon War, which was many thousands of years before the events of Skyrim, this means that this armor is one of the oldest armor designs in the game, alongside the Ancient Nord Armor.
