Ebony armor is a set of heavy armor that appears in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Ebony armor can be forged if the Ebony Smithing perk from the Smithing skill tree is selected at level 80 or above. The set contains five pieces, including a shield, boots, a cuirass, gauntlets, and helmet.

Pieces of Ebony armor can also be used at the Atronach Forge in the Midden to craft pieces of Daedric armor.

LocationsEdit

Unenchanted pieces of armor will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 32 and enchanted variants can be found at level 33. These locations include:

• Blacksmiths and general goods merchants.
• Found as random loot in chests or as a world item.

Fixed locationsEdit

• The Ebony Warrior^DB wears a full set.

SmithingEdit

Ebony armor requires a Smithing level of 80 and the Ebony Smithing perk to create. Pieces can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:

• Leather Strips
• Ebony Ingots

Pieces can be upgraded with an ebony ingot at a workbench and also benefit from the Ebony Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

VariantsEdit

• Ebony Mail - A Daedric artifact of Boethiah, is a unique armor piece of Ebony armor, however it is not considered part of the Ebony armor set. Because of this it cannot be used to grant the matching set bonus that can be obtained with the regular armor piece.

History in other gamesEdit

Ebony armor has appeared in every main Elder Scrolls title since Arena, where it usually serves as the set statistically outdone only by Daedric armor. Skyrim, however, omitted greaves, dropping the count from six to five pieces in the set.

BugsEdit

•  PS3   When Ebony armor is picked up, it will not add any weight to the inventory. After a few hours, however, the weight is added.
•  PC   360   PS3  The 25% armor bonus added from the perk "Matching Set" may not be added when a full set of Ebony armor is equipped. This glitch may also occur when Boethiah's Ebony Mail armor is equipped with other parts of the Ebony armor set.
•  360   PS3   The skin around the neck may be visible through the armor in the third person view with male characters but not with female characters.
•  360   When looking at your character in third person view while wearing a full set of Ebony armor, your character's head may not be present when looking at his shadow. This normally happens while playing as a male.
