Smithing[]
An Elven Shield requires a Smithing level of 30 and the Elven Smithing perk to create. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 2 x Leather Strips
- 1 x Iron Ingot
- 4 x Refined Moonstone
It can be upgraded with a Refined Moonstone at a workbench and also benefits from the Elven Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
