Bonemold Armor is a set of heavy armor that appears in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn.

It's fashioned from actual bone that's been reinforced with a resin-like material and then shaped to form the armored plating. Although it may appear brittle, it is said to be comparable to iron or steel armors.^[1]

It is primarily worn by Redoran guards patrolling Raven Rock, however it can also be crafted. Three separate chest pieces are available and the set comes in two variants, regular and improved.

HistoryEdit

The invention of Bonemold armor can be traced back to Dunmer folklore. Legend tells of a noble lord by the name of Arslic Oan. As a servant to the king, he was granted a castle and land for his service. Arslic built himself a walled stronghold and settled down with his slaves to enjoy a quiet life.^[2]

Soon after, a tribe of cannibalistic Nords began attacking Arslic's slaves in the fields, and then slowly grew bolder, until they held the very stronghold itself under siege. After several failed attempts at sending his slaves to fetch water from a river, Arslic asked his armorer, Gorkith, to forge an armor sturdier than leather but lighter than metal. Bonemold armor was his answer and although seventeen of his slaves were killed and eaten in the subsequent attempt, one made it back with a jar of water.^[2]

LocationsEdit

This armor piece can only be found on the island of Solstheim. Locations include:

• Sold by Glover Mallory in Raven Rock.
• Worn by Reavers throughout Solstheim.

Fixed locationsEdit

• Old Attius Farm - A full set can looted from the corpse of a Redoran Guard lying by the farmhouse.

SmithingEdit

Bonemold Armor requires a smithing level of 20 and the Steel Smithing perk to create. Pieces can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:

• Bone Meal
• Netch Leather
• Iron Ingots

Pieces can be upgraded with bone meal at a workbench and also benefit from the Steel Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
