Dragonplate Armor Location

Chests and other random loot hold it from level 40, and enchanted copies appear from level 41.

Gameplay Tips

• Temper it at a workbench with one Dragon Bone. The Dragon Armor perk doubles the improvement.
• Forge it with the Dragon Armor perk, which needs Smithing 100, from 3 Dragon Scales, 2 Dragon Bone and 3 Leather Strips.
• Its 46 armor sits between the 43 of Ebony Armor and the 49 of Daedric Armor, and it weighs 10 less than Daedric.
• Four Dragonplate pieces count as a matched set for the Matching Set perk, which adds 25% armor.

Smithing Guide

Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.

Crafting

Dragonplate Armor is made at a forge with the Dragon Armor perk.

Material	Image	Amount
