Smithing[]
An Orcish shield requires a Smithing level of 50 and the Orcish Smithing perk to create. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 1 × Leather Strips
- 3 × Orichalcum Ingot
- 1 × Iron Ingot
It can be upgraded with an Orichalcum Ingot at a workbench and also benefits from the Orcish Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
