Madness Ore is a material that is used to make madness armor and weapons in the The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles. According to Cutter, it contains the souls of dead heroes. It can be found on grummites or in madness ore deposits that are mainly found underground in the ruined forts of the Shivering Isles. Deposits do not respawn their ore content.

Forging[]

Head to Cutter's Weapons in Crucible to forge the armor or weapon. There will be different options depending on how many pieces of ore are on hand. Most armor requires two pieces of ore, but greaves take three pieces and a cuirass is five pieces.

Enchanted Madness armor and weapons can be created if a matrix is found. Each matrix is set to a specific armor or weapon type. The matrix and an appropriate amount of madness ore will allow the smith to create a magical version of that type in madness ore. Madness Matrices are usually found on Grummites.
