The Nordic Shield is a heavy armor shield and part of the Nordic carved armor set found in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn.
Locations
Unenchanted shields will begin to appear at level 25 and enchanted variants can be found at level 26. These locations include:
- Found as random loot in chests or as a world item.
- Worn by Bandit chiefs, Reaver lords and Reaver marauders.
- Worn by the Pirate Captain.
Smithing
It requires a Smithing level of 50 and the Advanced Armors perk to create. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 4 × Steel Ingot
- 1 × Quicksilver Ingot
- 1 × Leather Strips
The Nordic Shield is the only piece of Nordic Armor that does not require an ebony ingot to be crafted.
It can be upgraded with a quicksilver ingot at a workbench and also benefits from the Advanced Armors perk, which doubles the improvement.
