Orcish Boots Location
Blacksmiths and general goods merchants sell them from level 25, and enchanted copies appear from level 26. Chests and other random loot hold copies. At Largashbur, a pair sits on the makeshift altar to Malacath, but taking it counts as theft.
Gameplay Tips
- Temper them at a workbench with one Orichalcum Ingot. The Orcish Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
- Forge them with the Orcish Smithing perk from 3 Orichalcum Ingots, 1 Iron Ingot and 2 Leather Strips.
- Four Orcish 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.

Upgrades
An Orcish Boots is improved at a workbench with one Orichalcum Ingot per improvement. The Orcish 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.
