Daedric Gauntlets are a piece of heavy armor and part of the Daedric Armor set.
Locations
Unenchanted gauntlets will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 48 and enchanted variants can be found at level 49. These locations include:
- Found as random loot in "boss" chests.
- May be found lying around, though this is rare.
- Higher level (49+) random encounter enemy NPCs have a chance to wear Daedric Armor pieces, including the Gauntlets.
Smithing
Daedric Gauntlets requires a Smithing level of 90 and the Daedric Smithing perk to create. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 2 x Leather Strips
- 2 x Ebony Ingots
- 1 x Daedra Heart
It can be upgraded with an Ebony Ingot at a workbench and also benefits from the Daedric Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
Atronach Forge
Daedric Gauntlets can also be crafted at the Atronach Forge. It requires a Sigil Stone that can only be obtained via Conjuration Ritual Spell, which in itself requires a Conjuration skill of 90.
The Atronach Forge requires the following components to create Daedric Gauntlets:
- 1 x Sigil Stone
- 1 x Daedra Heart
- 1 x Ebony Gauntlets
- 1 x Centurion Dynamo Core
- 1 x Black Soul Gem (empty or filled; using soul gems filled with greater souls or higher will create a randomly-enchanted pair of gauntlets)
