The Golden Saint Shield is a heavy shield from the Saints & Seducers Creation. It has a base armor rating of 26 and weighs 12. Saints Bandits carry it, so it can turn up early in the game.

Armor Enchantment

Any armor enchantment can be placed on a Golden Saint Shield at an arcane enchanter.

Every armor enchantment is listed under Enchantment Effects.

Golden Saint Shield Location

Saints Bandits carry Golden gear. Reading Joften's Notes, found in a chest under the bridge at Half-Moon Mill, teaches Golden Smithing.

Gameplay Tips

Temper it at a workbench with one Gold Ingot. The Daedric Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
Forge it with the Daedric Smithing perk from 2 Gold Ingots, 4 Refined Moonstone, 1 Daedra Heart and one set of Leather Strips, after reading Joften's Notes.
Its 26 armor matches the Dwarven Shield.

Upgrades

A Golden Saint Shield is improved at a workbench with one Gold 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.
