Deathbrand Armor
Deathbrand Armor is a unique light armor cuirass from Dragonborn and a variant of Stalhrim Light Armor. It has a base armor rating of 39 and adds Stamina for every Deathbrand piece worn. It is one of four pieces buried across Solstheim during the Deathbrand quest, which opens at level 36.
Armor Enchantment
Stamina rises by 15 points for each Deathbrand piece worn, up to 60 points with all four.

Gameplay Tips
- Temper it at a workbench with one piece of Stalhrim. The Ebony Smithing perk doubles the improvement, and the Arcane Blacksmith perk is needed.
- Its armor rating and weight match Stalhrim Light Armor.
- Wearing all four Deathbrand pieces adds 100 armor through the helm and raises every per-piece bonus to its maximum.
Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.
Upgrades
Deathbrand Armor is improved at a workbench with one Stalhrim per improvement. The Ebony 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.
