Deathbrand Boots
Deathbrand Boots are unique light armor boots from Dragonborn and a variant of Stalhrim Light Boots. They have a base armor rating of 11.5 and add carrying capacity 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
Carrying capacity rises by 10 points for each Deathbrand piece worn, up to 40 points with all four.
The Enchantment Effects page lists every armor enchantment.

Gameplay Tips
- Temper them at a workbench with one piece of Stalhrim. The Ebony Smithing perk doubles the improvement, and the Arcane Blacksmith perk is needed.
- Their armor rating and weight match Stalhrim Light Boots.
- 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 Boots are 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.
