Elven Armor is a set of light armor that appears in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Typically worn by Thalmor soldiers, Elven armor can be crafted, purchased, or found as random loot. It has the third lowest armor rating of the craftable light armor sets, after leather and hide. It is, however the lightest craftable armor and the second lightest overall being preceded only by the Ancient Shrouded Armor.

VariantsEdit

Elven Armor is available in two variants:

1. Elven Armor - The regular variant. Unenchanted pieces will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 12 and enchanted variants can be found at level 13.
2. Elven Light Armor - A weaker variant. Pieces appear throughout Skyrim from level 1.

In addition, a stronger cuirass called Elven Gilded Armor is available.

LocationEdit

General locations include:

• Blacksmiths and general goods merchants.
• Found as random loot in chests.
• Randomly encountered Thalmor patrols can be found wearing the light variant at level 1 and the regular variant at level 12.

Fixed locationsEdit

• Several sets of light armor are worn by the Thalmor warriors and archers in Northwatch Keep from level 1.
• Several sets of regular armor are worn by the Thalmor warriors and archers in Northwatch Keep after level 12.
• Elven Gilded Armor can be found on Thalmor after level 27

SmithingEdit

Elven Armor requires a Smithing level of 30 and the Elven Smithing perk to create. Pieces can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:

• Refined Moonstone

• Quicksilver Ingot
• Leather Strips
• Iron Ingot

Pieces can be upgraded with refined moonstone at a workbench and also benefit from the Elven Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

TriviaEdit

• Elven Armor uses an eagle motif in its design. This is reference to the Altmer's chief deity, Auri-El.
• Many Nords, especially Stormcloaks, often laugh at the Dragonborn if wearing Elven Armor, saying, "Hah, Elven Armor eh? What's wrong with good old Nord Steel?"
