Daedric Shield Location
Chests and other random loot hold copies from level 48, and enchanted copies appear from level 49. The Dremora Merchant can sell it at high levels. The Atronach Forge at the College of Winterhold can also make it from an Ebony Shield, 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 it at a workbench with one Ebony Ingot. The Daedric Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
- Forge it with the Daedric Smithing perk from 4 Ebony Ingots, 1 Daedra Heart and one set of Leather Strips.
- Its 36 armor beats the 34 of the Dragonplate Shield.
Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.

Upgrades
A Daedric Shield is improved at a workbench 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.
