This page summarizes all of the Specialty Gear in Skyrim. These are items that can be found in many locations in the game, yet do not qualify as generic weapons or generic armor. For example, it includes weapons and armor that are only used by specific races or factions (e.g., Falmer, Forsworn, the Blades). It also includes some items, such as pickaxes and woodcutter's axes, that are only used in certain situations.

Amulets of the Divines [ edit ]

Divine amulets are available as random drops or bought at Radiant Raiment in Solitude. They can also be used to craft working shrines in the Cellar addition of homesteads in the Hearthfire add-on. None of these amulets can be disenchanted.

† Amulet of Julianos will look like the Jeweled Amulet on female characters, due to the wrong model being attributed. This bug is fixed by version 1.2.5 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch. Anwill look like theon female characters, due to the wrong model being attributed.

Blades Weapons [ edit ]

Blades Armor [ edit ]

Apart from the armor rating of the cuirass, which exceeds the ebony cuirass by 1 point, all stats are identical to dwarven armor. As of patch 1.9, the armor qualifies for matching set bonuses with the steel plate armor, though it does not benefit from any perk to improve it twice as much. This issue has been addressed by version 2.0.6 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch; the armor rating has been lowered to 34, equal to dwarven.

The Blades armor can be obtained from a chest in Sky Haven Temple after completing Alduin's Wall. The shield may become invisible for unknown reasons, especially with vampires. [ verification needed ]

Oddly enough, the Blades Sword has an associated perk (Steel), whereas the Blades Armor set does not, and therefore the armor cannot be improved as easily as the weapon. This seems inconsistent, given that all of the items need a Steel Ingot to temper them.

Dawnguard Weapons [ edit ]

Dawnguard weapons gain an additional 5 points of damage against vampires. This includes the Dawnguard Rune Axe but not the Dawnguard Rune Hammer, due to a bug.

Name (ID) Tempering Notes Dawnguard War Axe

xx 00d098 Steel Ingot;

perk: Steel 13 55 11 Does additional damage to vampires.

This effect seems not to be considered an enchantment, so these weapons can be enchanted like any normal unenchanted weapon, though they will always display the text "Especially effective against vampires."

xx 00dd55 Steel Ingot;

perk: Steel 26 110 22 Does additional damage to vampires.

One can be found on the top of the northern tower at Fort Dawnguard on a weapon plaque.

Dawnguard Armor [ edit ]

When wearing a full set of armor (body armor, boots, gauntlets, and helmet), Dawnguard armors reduce incoming damage from vampires by 25% and the magnitude of hostile spells cast by vampires is reduced by 25%. Mixing the light and heavy sets will not confer the bonus, however.[verification needed — Looks like it should still work in the CK] Additionally, the bonus is "hidden" as it does not appear in the active effects menu. Light armor benefits from the Matching Set perk, but heavy armor does not due to a bug.

The heavy armor protects as well as Dwarven armor does, for less weight (even less than Blades Armor), but still offers less protection for more weight than Steel Plate Armor; the big selling point is when you're up against vampires. The light armor offers protection between Elven and Scaled, for weight also between them, but is less protection for more weight than Elven Gilded Armor or ChitinDB - again, the compelling interest here is specifically for fighting vampires, particularly the protection against spells, which armor normally provides no protection at all against.

§ This bug is fixed by version 1.1 of the Unofficial Dawnguard Patch. The Matching Set perk does not work for Dawnguard heavy armor.
