Chitin Helmet Location
Reavers on Solstheim wear it, so copies drop from them. With the Elven Smithing perk, any forge can make it.
Gameplay Tips
- Temper it at a workbench with one Chitin Plate. The Elven Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
- The Redoran Watchman's Helmet gives 15 armor at the same weight of 1.
- Wearing all four Chitin pieces together earns the extra 25% armor of the Matching Set perk.
