Chitin Boots Location
Reavers on Solstheim wear them, so pairs drop from them. With the Elven Smithing perk, any forge can make them.
Gameplay Tips
- Temper them at a workbench with one Chitin Plate. The Elven Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
- Wearing all four Chitin pieces together earns the extra 25% armor of the Matching Set perk.
Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.
