The Longhammer is a unique Orcish warhammer with 21 base damage that swings about 30% faster than a normal warhammer. It lies beside the corpse of its owner, Rahd, at the end of Liar's Retreat, and can be taken at any level.

Weapon Enchantment

Rahd's hammer weighs less than a normal Orcish Warhammer, so it swings faster. The speed is built into the hammer, so it can still take an enchantment at an arcane enchanter.

The Enchantment Effects page lists every weapon enchantment.

Gameplay Tips and Tricks

Temper it at a grindstone with an Orichalcum Ingot. The Orcish Smithing perk doubles the improvement.
Its extra speed can give it more damage per second than a Daedric Warhammer.
The Elemental Fury shout speeds it up further while it carries no added enchantment.

Smithing Guide

Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.

Upgrades

The Longhammer is improved at a grindstone 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.

Weapon Levels

Some weapons in Skyrim are Levelled. The power of a levelled weapon is based on your charcters level when you get them. Some get stronger in both physical and magical aspects, while others only improve their enchantments. These items don't get better as your character levels up.

The Longhammer has the same damage at every character level.
