The Weapons featured in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim are very diverse. They range from swords and maces to axes, bows, and daggers. There are dozens of different types, ranging from Iron at the lowest level and Daedric Weapons at the highest (though with The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard, one can create Dragonbone Weapons, which are better than Daedric weapons. They are essential tools of survival in Skyrim, and can be bought, looted, stolen, forged, or received as a reward. Weapons can be upgraded at a grind stone with the right material; e.g: A steel sword needs a steel ingot & an ebony sword needs an ebony ingot.

The following is a complete list of weapons in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Trivia

• It should be noted that, for players wishing to specialize, swords may be preferable to axes and maces when considering perks and enchantments. The Bladesman perk (increased chance to deal critical damage) for swords is more widely useful against all targets than the Hack and Slash (causes increased bleeding damage) and the Bone Breaker (increased armor penetration) perks for axes and maces, respectively. Since swords also strike more quickly, any enchantments on the weapon, as well as the chance to make a critical hit, can trigger more often.
• In previous games, Staves were Two-Handed weapons.
