Gameplay Tips
- Temper them at a workbench with one Steel Ingot. The Steel Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
- Forge them with the Steel Smithing perk from 2 Steel Ingots, 1 Leather and 2 Leather Strips.
- Four Imperial pieces count as a matched set for the Matching Set perk, which adds 25% armor.
