Gameplay Tips
- Temper it at a workbench with one Stalhrim. The Ebony Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
- Forge it from 4 Stalhrim, 1 Steel Ingot and one set of Leather Strips. Forging it needs the Ebony Smithing perk and the quest A New Source of Stalhrim.
- Its 29.5 armor is the highest of any light shield in the base game and its add-ons.
