Blades Armor is a piece of heavy armor and part of the Blades Armor set found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Locations[]
This piece of armor cannot be created at a blacksmith's forge, however it can be found in the following locations:
- Sky Haven Temple – In a chest in the armory located to the left of the main chamber.
- Worn by any follower recruited into the Blades as part of the quest "Rebuilding the Blades."
Smithing[]
It can be upgraded with a steel 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.
For its weight, this armor offers very little damage protection, and should not be considered as a permanent solution on higher difficulties.
