With Skyrim: Special Edition pulling us back into countless hours of playing once again, we took a look back at some of the best armor sets available. The Wolf Armor is the garb of choice for the elite members of the Companions. Classified as Heavy Armor, the set consists of a helmet, breastplate, gloves, and boots all adorned with feral motifs such as wolf heads, skulls, or teeth. It shares the same values as Steel Armor but features a lighter set of boots, thus making it preferable for players who focus on Heavy Armor in their character builds.
It shares defense values comparable to Leather Armor, but features a much better visual appearance for characters roaming around in the snowy conditions present throughout Skyrim. You can also find a complete set by exploring Highpoint Tower. For anyone looking to jump straight into it, level 40 is when the armor starts appearing in the regular world. Crafting is a possibility at a lower level but it will require a nose to the grindstone.
A level smith is needed to create the armor and you'll also need quite a few fallen dragons under your belt. Once you put the set on, it's time to go to work. Your carrying capacity is increased by 50 points as well as lockpicking becoming 35 percent easier. Not a bad combination when you have loot to horde. Even when deciding to be an honest customer, prices become 20 percent better.
Thieves are quite often looking for the fastest way to the prize. This armor takes a little more grit as you have to complete all the thieves guild quests and return it to its once-great state. This gorgeous armor isn't just pretty - it's also an incredibly effective shield. It will give you a boost in both stamina and carrying capacity. If you find yourself near water will find it all the more helpful as you get 60 seconds of Water Breathing ability. Instead of getting the whole set in one, you will need to scour the coast in search of the legendary pirate king's armor.
You'll have to accept the ''Deathbrand'' quest beforehand to make the chests appear and complete one of the best sets in Skyrim. While this set isn't particularly impressive on paper, it comes with a unique set of abilities that are rarely found otherwise.
The most useful enchantment means any enemy that attacks physically has a chance of being paralyzed. Another is you absorbing 50 percent of the magicka that's shot at you, who needs defense when you have all these perks?
The only place to acquire the enchanted armor is in the quest ''Unearthed''. Once you have all the pieces you can unlock the fortify enchantment perk that makes the set even stronger. The highest-rated armor in all of the lands, though it comes with a complicated price. It will come as no shock that your intimidation option becomes 10 percent more likely while adorning the armor. Daedric armor is only found in chests of boss fights after you pass level 49 unless you slay a legendary dragon.
Finding unenchanted pieces in the wild is rare, even once you pass the level barrier. Not even enchantments can provide that level of power! The tentacle explosion from Miraak's Robes is quite potent, dealing poison damage to any nearby enemies whenever you're hit. You do give up reduced Magicka cost on your spells, but becoming immune to every spell in Skyrim is more than worth the tradeoff. Iron Armor is a set that doesn't really do much of anything.
Its armor rating of 60 is about average, and the banded version of the armor doesn't offer much of an upgrade—sitting at an armor rating of A huge and glaring problem with the Iron Armor set is that it doesn't benefit from Smithing perks, meaning it can't surpass Flawless tempering quality unless your Smithing skill exceeds Some will argue that its accessibility in the early game makes it decent.
However, Steel Armor and Imperial Armor can be obtained just as early, both sets providing either better armor or weight values. Iron Armor becomes obsolete too quickly to warrant use unless you love the look of it. In that case, fortify your Smithing and turn this armor into the damage-absorbing beast it deserves to be.
The Deathbrand Armor set provides powerful enchantments and an exceptionally high armor rating of Wearing it as a full set provides you with tons of cool buffs, including increased carrying capacity and water-breathing. Arguably the most unique part of the Deathbrand Armor is its enchantments.
As you equip additional pieces of the armor set, the enchantments on certain items become much stronger. The armor itself has an interesting design as well. It's a frosty blue hue that seems to be built based on a Nordic set. If you're looking for the Daedric Armor equivalent for light armor, you've found the right set.
For clarity, this is the default Stormcloak Armor that most soldiers use, not the Stormcloak Officer variant that's much better. There isn't much going for this set besides its great aesthetic design.
The set has an armor rating on par with Studded armor, lacks a shield, doesn't benefit from Smithing perks, and becomes obsolete once players start finding Leather Armor not even a few hours into their playthrough. The Stormcloak Armor set suffers from being an early game item that doesn't really progress beyond its beginnings. Unless you love representing the Stormcloaks or how it looks, there's virtually no reason to use this armor set.
The Ancient Shrouded Armor set is unquestionably one of the best armor sets in Skyrim. It has an incredibly high armor rating of 72, weighs next to nothing, and has a great set of enchantments that any back-stabbing assassin would love.
The sleek red and black design ensures that each assassination is stylish. As the Miraak set is best for mage characters, the Ancient Shrouded set is tuned towards stealthy characters that strike from the shadows.
The increase to sneak damage makes this an excellent armor set to pair with stealth builds. Best of all, this armor set doesn't have any level scaling, meaning you can complete this mission at level one and obtain an endgame armor set. If you're playing a stealth build, few armor sets will serve you better than this.
We're including both the Fur and Skaal armor sets due to their identical stats. Both armor sets don't provide a lot of protection and don't scale well with Smithing. These issues are somewhat excusable due to how common Fur is, but this issue is inexcusable for Skaal Armor since it can't be tempered.
Those interested in fashion will likely appreciate Fur's different armor variants and Skaal's winter-themed appearance, but the stats on both sets are so terrible that it's tough to recommend using them over other options. On looks alone, the Nightingale Armor set is arguably the coolest looking light armor set in Skyrim.
The cloaked face, cape attachment, and Nightingale engravings on the armor make it nothing short of a jaw-dropping armor set. In terms of functionality, the Nightingale set offers some useful enchantments for stealth characters, tuned more towards thievery than assassinations. Similar to Daedric items, the Nightingale Armor set is stronger based on the level you obtained it. At level 32 and beyond, the armor set will have the most value and strongest enchantment values.
It's tied to an absurdly long questline and might not compete with min-maxed Dragonscale Armor, yet the overall aesthetic and backstory with this set are so inspiring that it's hard not to love the Nightingale set. The Hide Armor set is the worst light armor set in the game. It has the worst armor rating out of all light armor, doesn't benefit from Smithing perks, and is surprisingly uncommon when compared to Fur and Iron Armor.
It's not even the best early game craftable set of armor. The Leather Armor set beats out multiple armor sets in the early game and can be crafted with ease.
