Ahzidal's Boots of Waterwalking
Ahzidal's Boots of Waterwalking are unique heavy armor boots from Dragonborn and one of the relics of Ahzidal. They look like Ancient Nord Boots but have a base armor rating of 14 and weigh 9. They sit on a pedestal in Kolbjorn Barrow after the first stage of the dig in the quest Unearthed.
Armor Enchantment
The wearer can walk on the surface of water. Wearing four relics of Ahzidal also adds 10 points to Enchanting.
Every armor enchantment is listed under Enchantment Effects.

Gameplay Tips
- Walk across lakes and flooded areas instead of swimming.
- Temper them at a workbench with one Steel Ingot. The Advanced Armors perk doubles the improvement, and the Arcane Blacksmith perk is needed because they are enchanted.
- Wearing exactly four relics of Ahzidal grants Ahzidal's Genius, which raises Enchanting by 10 points. A fifth relic cancels the bonus.
Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.
Upgrades
Ahzidal's Boots of Waterwalking is improved at a workbench with one Steel Ingot per improvement. The Advanced Armors perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.
