Only found in high level chests , enchanted dragon armor pieces are the ultimate treasure imho.

I`ve discovered some Peerless Dragonscale gauntlets along with one Conjuration cuirass and Boots of Warmth .
Only one Dragonplate (Helmet of Extreme Magicka) has ever turned up

A full set of either kind would be unique as far as I know from reading the forums.
Finding anything this sweet?

I never seem to find dragon stuff unless I'm fighting those clowns in Soul Cairn. I have lousy luck with chests in general so I went ahead and found all the Stones first thing. Prowlers Profit at level 15. I may not find any dragon stuff but I'm gonna have a butt load of gems by the time I retire this guy.

I love finding anything daedric or dragonscale/plate. I can never sell them, I just keep them as trophies

My most memorable find was a deadric helmet with +100% magicka regen. You couldn't enchant that with 32% enchanting potions, and possibly not even with Azhidal's armour and that extra 10% boost with one of the black books. It's just a shame you can't add a second enchantment to stuff like that

On my current game I found daedric boots of the ox (+45 carry weight) at a relatively low level- level 33 or thereabouts. A very respectable piece of gear!

This topic is of particular importance to me right now, as my current character does NO enchanting. This is the first time I've ever played that way; it adds much to the experience I must say, being limited to what I find. At level 46, I've just picked up the Nightingale Blade at it's highest level. Absorbing 25 points of both health and stamina, it's safe to say that I won't find a random weapon that will beat it. Back to the topic at hand though, I've found some great items with this build that I wouldn't have appreciated on my other playthroughs:

Elven mace of stunning, (very handy early on, gave it to Kharjo); elven boots and guantlets of fire resistance, (resist 30% fire); glass boots of hauling (carry extra 30); glass sword of the blaze (25 pts. fire), ebony sword of devouring (absorbs 15 pts. health, and which I now duel-wield with Nightingale Blade); ebony war axe of storms (30 pts. shock).

My Nightingale bow does 30 frost and 15 shock. Hopefully I'll eventually find a daedric or dragonbone bow that will surpass it. On my higher level builds, I've found a few dragonscale pieces, and a dragonplate helmet, but nothing spectacular.

Sadly , the only way to obtain a Dragonbone bow is by smithing one yourself.

However , I did once find a Daedric Bow of Nullifying in the chest guarded by Sebastian Lort.

BTW - you can slightly improve your chances for high-end loot by obtaining the Treasure Hunter perk in Lockpicking

I assumed that the gate keeper in the Soul Cairn dropped one... I never knew for sure because I've always just FUS'd it off the edge. I've never found it's body. Anyway that's fine, perhaps I'll find a fine daedric bow eventually.

my bad

u r correct !
the 3rd keeper does in fact carry such a bow
according to wiki
i`ve never been able to get any dragonbone items from the keepers though.
my guess as to the reason is that i`ve always done the soul cairn fairly early and without the dragon smithing perk in place

Interesting topic, infact I have something to add - though this only concerns Daedric enchants;

Basically there is an exploit that I found involving the Atronach Forge and the whole - Make 1 random Enchanted Daedric item, or anything you make from the forge for that matter, if you can craft it, you can get an unlimited ammount.

1. Place the required Ingredients inside the Offering box, saving (incase you fail the next part)

2. Pull the Lever

3. Heres the tricky bit - after pulling the lever immediately RE-OPEN the Offering Box, and hit "Take All Items"

Depending on the item you wanted, the time you have to re-steal the ingredients varies from half a second (Staffs of Summoning) to a quarter of a second before the game ERASES them from the box for good.

In theory, you trick the game into thinking you've offered something, but immediately steal them and since the ingredients were present when you pulled the lever, the process still continues and gives you the item you wanted :)

From one set of ingredients I think I made about 25 Enchanted Daedric items, took alot of loading and saving after every successful attempt.

Something new for you guys to try.

Atronach Forge Requires 100 Conjuration and the Sigil Stone.

Think the best item I made from this process was a Daedric Warhammer of Banishing or something (undead up to lv 40), worth around 11,000 gold ^^

No enchanting is a great way to play the game! I'm going to have to do that again for my next build. It's a bit depressing knowing that you can (or will eventually) be able to craft better stuff than you can ever find in a chest- far more exciting to go into a shop or open a chest hoping for that ring of eminent alchemy or glass bracers of extreme archery etc. It also forces some interesting decisions; do you use the ring that fortifies one handed or the ring that resists magic?

FWIW I'd say no enchanting (but every else is okay; alchemy, smithing etc.) is probably the best way to self nerf and keep the game fun later on. Even on legendary twin perks is too much when you know what you're doing

I got a daedric weapon with a level 25 banish enchantment on it recently. They're very valuable but does anybody ever use the banish enchantment??? I guess you could carry a dagger with a powerful banish enchantment on it and use that against atronachs and dremora, but by the time you are capable of making such a weapon you likely won't have much trouble with flame atronachs

Might be handy for the Azura's Star, Mehrune's Razor and conjuration ritual spell quests I suppose. Now I want to try it out :)

I guess its pretty much one of those enchantments thats situational and not very useful longterm, since the likelihood of you being up against a SUMMONED daedra in the first place is quite low, even lower is the likelihood that you are going to choose to "banish" it over just smashing its face in.

The actual enchantment doesnt work on Daedra you come across naturally, they have to be conjured for you to actually need the enchantment.

Mundus 9-5, Oblivion weekends
The only enchanted Dragon-anything I've found were Dragonscale Boots of the Mammoth. I'm trying to remember which of the Giant camps they spawned in... It'll come to me... ...Ah, it was the one nearest Rorikstead and Ortheim. I was pretty blown away with them; but, since I don't like Dragon armour-- nor Daedric, for that matter, I look at lesser rare quality finds for excitement. For instance, I collect Iron Daggers of Fatigue... And as mentioned above, items like Elven Maces of Stunning or any of the various weapons that ditty can spawn on are treasured. I suppose the only other item of note I'd obtained in random loot were a Daedric Sword of Nullifying. Sadly I don't recall where it spawned off the top of my head, though, Uttering Hills comes to mind.

Typically, I am on the look out for unenchanted items. They're far more precious to me. When a Giant drops a Glass Warhammer, I uncontrollably strike out with my fist. What's another item? ... I do love Dwarven Warhammers too, especially in random loot. That's when it really matters.

Tulius gave me a Daedric Sword of the Inferno for completing Season Unending in the Imperialks favour. Arngeir was giving me evils as I went on to talk to Delphine, then began to climb TOTW...
I rarely find rare loot, my luck seems to cap out at Ebony Boots of peerless sneaking. Well, there was a Dragonscale shield once.
Keepers in the Soul Cairn always disentigrate, and I can never get their weapons?

hello Adam Warlock and every one in thread:).....*squeezes into thread....ouchhhh:eek:.... who mace was that?* :oops:...giggles;)

this is something that this one has observed in her own game, currently lever 127...playing legendary 24/7 no excuse not too...you become a all rounder with all the perks you have.

the obviation is once you hit a cretin level...use level 100 for example the game spits special objects at you like they are normal....has a collection of 10 bows with amazing stats on paralyze, banish ext...which sell at insane prices....but no dragon bone bows...but has 2 complete sets of dragon scale armors with no enchantments, and missing shield to make a full enchanted set,
unless you instal a MOD...the only place to get the bow, is YES you guessed it the third gatekeeper! must kill on tower. Dragon kills always leave a special weapon or armor 100% of the time...this one only encounters Legendary Dragons now at level 127...not sure if it has to do with the level or difficulty

NOTE: this one played Bleak Fall Barrow at level 100 (see video)...when it came to looting...did not make any difference if I was 100 or 10...same objects same ratings!
its the random objects that you find that are more unique now...the game must think...well level 100...if you haven't got them or made them by now....:Dovahkiin:


As for Dragonborn...*looks at Reporters* o_O...NO COMMENT! :sadface: ...*pulls scarf over head, dark sunglasses:cool:*...*runs for cover*:eek:....click click click...Paparazzi :mad:...click

the worst is early in the game; when you find a dwarven helmet of magika :D

you rush off to destroy it (enchanting);)

only to go to the next city...

get stopped by a courier with a letter from Calcelmo :mad:

wanting to buy the helmet you just destroyed :sadface:


:confused:

That hasn't happened to me, but Calcelmo always wants to buy my dwarven bolts... the old fool needs smacked around every now and then. :beermug:

I always seem to find Dragon armour pieces when I manage to get to a high enough level (which is once every twenty characters...). One memorable time was (this was back in 2013, when I was still on the 360) when I was sent to fetch some worthless family "heirloom" from Broken Limb Camp (the Giant camp closest to Mistwatch). In the boss chest I discovered Dragonscale Boots of the Firewalker (60 % resist fire)! Unfortunately that character was a heavy armour user.

Yesterday, in my modded game, I came across a wandering merchant who turned out to be carrying a Dragonplate chestpiece in her sale inventory. :eek: This character has also found a pair of Dragonscale boots (unenchanted) and a Dragonscale shield. Plus some other Dragon quality items, such as his current gauntlets. :D


A long time ago I found a Daedric Bow in a regular (not "boss") chest, when I was below level 30.


I think I've gotten Dragonbone weapons from those Soul Cairn Keepers a grand total of three times. You don't need to have the Dragon smithing perk to get them, btw. Just the required level, which is 45 or 46 IIRC.

After playing the game since release my prized rare find has been a full set of dewemer cutlery, knife, fork and spoon , , :D:rolleyes:
 
I really like the idea of only using found magic items. I really think the next character I play will be one that doesn't enchant or smith. THAT could be challenging and also a lot more exciting when finding really cool stuff. Instead of yawning when I come across a piece of dwarven armor I might just get jacked up over it. And how about that cool new magic sword I found. How awsome is that?
