Daedric Gauntlets Location
Chests and other random loot hold pairs from level 48, and enchanted copies appear from level 49. The Dremora Merchant can sell them at high levels. The Atronach Forge at the College of Winterhold can also make them from Ebony Gauntlets, a Daedra Heart, a Centurion Dynamo Core and a Black Soul Gem. That recipe needs a Sigil Stone placed in the forge instead of the perk.
Gameplay Tips
- Temper them at a workbench with one Ebony Ingot. The Daedric Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
- Forge them with the Daedric Smithing perk from 2 Ebony Ingots, 1 Daedra Heart and 2 Leather Strips.
- Their 18 armor beats the 17 of Dragonplate Gauntlets, and they weigh 2 less.
- Four Daedric pieces count as a matched set for the Matching Set perk, which adds 25% armor.
