Orcish Armor is a set of heavy armor that appears in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is the fourth strongest heavy armor available, following the Ebony, Dragon, and Daedric armors.

LocationsEdit

Unenchanted pieces of armor will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 25 and enchanted variants can be found at level 26. These locations include:

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

Fixed locationsEdit

• Largashbur - A full set, minus the gauntlets, can be found on Malacath's shrine in the courtyard. However, it must be stolen.
• Chief Yamarz wears a full set of Orcish Armor that can be looted from his body at the conclusion of "The Cursed Tribe".

SmithingEdit

Orcish Armor requires a Smithing level of 50 and the Orcish Smithing perk to create. Pieces can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:

• Orichalcum Ingot
• Iron Ingot
• Leather Strips

Pieces can be upgraded with orichalcum ingots at a workbench and also benefit from the Orcish Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

• Orcish armor is stronger than Dwarven armor, but strangely, Dwarven weapons are more powerful than Orcish weapons.
