How to Get Daedric Dagger Guide
Daedric Dagger Location
Rare copies appear in loot from level 46, with enchanted ones from level 47. High-level dragons can drop them. The Dremora Merchant sells Daedric weapons at higher levels.
Gameplay
Daedric Daggers used to be the best dagger in the original version of Skyrim. The Dawnguard add-on introduces superior Dragonbone Daggers which do an additional 1 damage but can typically only be obtained via the blacksmithing skill. They show up in leveled lists from level 46 (enchanted versions at level 47).
Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.
Crafting
A Daedric Dagger is made at a forge with the Daedric Smithing perk.
| Material | Image | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Daedra Heart | 
|
1 |
| Ebony Ingot | 
|
1 |
| Leather Strips |

Upgrades
A Daedric Dagger is improved at a grindstone with one Ebony Ingot per improvement. The Daedric Smithing perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.
| Quality | Smithing | With Perk | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fine | 14 | 14 | +1 |
| Superior | 31 | 22 | +3 |

Weapon Levels
Some weapons in Skyrim are Levelled. The power of a levelled weapon is based on your charcters level when you get them. Some get stronger in both physical and magical aspects, while others only improve their enchantments. These items don't get better as your character levels up.
Daedric Dagger has the same damage at every character level.
| Level | Damage | Weight | Value | Enchantment | Level ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 46+ | 11 | 6 | 500 | Enchantable | 000139B6 |
Notes
Bound weapons from Conjuration take the look of Daedric weapons.
