Dragonscale Armor Location

Copies turn up very rarely in high-level loot. The Dragon Armor perk lets any forge make it from Dragon Scales, Iron Ingots and leather.

Gameplay Tips

• Temper it at a workbench with one Dragon Scales. The Dragon Armor perk doubles the improvement.
• It gives 41 armor against 38 for Glass Armor, but weighs 10 against 7.
• Wearing all four Dragonscale pieces together earns the extra 25% armor of the Matching Set perk.

Smithing Guide

Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.

Crafting

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

Material	Image	Amount
Dragon Scales		4
Iron Ingot		2
Leather		1
Leather Strips		3

Upgrades

Dragonscale Armor is improved at a workbench with one Dragon Scales per improvement. The Dragon Armor perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.

Quality	Smithing	With Perk	Armor

Superior	31	22	+6
Exquisite	65	40	+10
Flawless	100	57	+13
