Steel Plate Gauntlets are a piece of heavy armor and part of the Steel Plate Armor set found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Locations[]
Unenchanted gauntlets will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 18, and enchanted variants can be found at level 19. These locations include:
- Blacksmiths and General Goods Merchants.
- Found as random loot in chests or as a world item.
Fixed locations[]
- Worn by Uthgerd the Unbroken, Bolgeir Bearclaw, Kharjo, Salma, and Vigilant Tolan.
- It is possible to find them before level 18, in front of a Shrine of Talos, at the unmarked location called Talos by the Lake.
Smithing[]
Steel Plate Gauntlets require a Smithing level of 50 and the Advanced Armors perk to create. They can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 1 × Corundum Ingot
- 2 × Steel Ingots
- 1 × Iron Ingot
- 2 × Leather Strips
They can be upgraded with a Corundum Ingot at a workbench and also benefit from the Advanced Armors perk, which doubles the improvement.
