The best Skyrim mods to update the appearance of vanilla armour sets and add new high quality sets to your game
Hi and welcome to my latest hub on Skyrim, the fifth instalment of the Elder Scrolls series by Bethesda. In today’s hub, I am going to look at the best armour mods available for Skyrim.
I have a companion hub that introduces mods for weapons that similarly will:

All mods are available for download from the Skyrim Nexus Mods website, http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim. In order to get the best out of Nexus, I have written a guide to this website which can be found here:

How to best install mods to ensure that Skyrim looks exactly how you want it to look
I thoroughly recommended that when looking to improve an aspect of Skyrim using mods that you:
I always download all the mods that I like the look of and think that improve a specific aspect of the game. Then I think of the best order using the rules I outlined above.
Next, test each mod in turn by playing the game. Sometimes you will love the look of the mod from screenshots but it simply doesn’t look right to you in your game. Uninstall it immediately before adding any more mods. This way, you won’t be in the middle of a game thinking “I don’t like the look of that, wish I could get rid of it but I don’t remember which mod it is from”. Believe me, I have been there and it is really frustrating!
Once you have Skyrim looking exactly how you want it, be very careful when adding new mods and only use mods that introduce new content or that will definitely work with your installed mods to ensure that you don’t have to re-install mods to fix any issues the new mod may introduce.
The aMidianBorn Book of Silence mod by CaBaL an excellent mod for upgrading vanilla armour sets in Skyrim
The first mod we will look at is the aMidianBorn Book of Silence mod written by CaBal. This excellent mod improves the graphics of all vanilla armour sets by using higher quality textures. All are lore friendly and built from scratch. You can see the increase in detail in the guards armour in the picture below.
In all sixteen armour sets are replaced. There is also a patch (aMidianBorn Textures For Immersive Armors and Lore-Friendly Armor Pack - Full Set Armour) that allows some of the textures from CaBals mod to be used in Immersive Armours which is the next mod we will look at.
Immersive Armors mod for Skyrim by hothtrooper44 to add new high quality armour sets to Skyrim![]()
This is a truly wonderful mod from a very talented modder. It adds 22 new armour sets, three new shields and a whole array of other additions including eye patches, scarves and even a kilt that are both lore friendly and balanced to the game. All objects are can be crafted, upgraded and have enchantments added to them. In game they can be found as quest rewards, in loot and being worn by Non Player Characters.
Calientes Vanilla Outfits for CBBE mod by Caliente for Skyrim to give your female player character a curvier figure
For those of us using Caliente’s stunning Calientes Female Body Mod Big Bottom Edition - CBBE to give our player character a curvier body shape, this mod is a must. It changes the meshes for all vanilla armour sets so that they fit your player character better. It will remove any seams or clipping that you may otherwise experience.
Note:This mod will only change meshes to allow the armour to look right with the changed body shape, no textures are changed so it will not overwrite any of the mods you install to upgrade or enhance the appearance of your armour in game.
If you don’t have CBBE and would like to learn more about it, I have a hub that covers customising the appearance of your player character in great detail which can be found here:
Skyrim Blood Dragon Armor ModXAC - Xenius Armour Compilation an armour compilation mod for Skyrim to add beautiful new armour![]()
The last compilation mod I would like to introduce is Xenius’s XAC - Xenius Armour Compilation mod. This mod introduces four armour sets for female player characters. The sets are:
As you can see from the screenshot, they are beautiful armour sets that allow your female character to still look feminine wearing armour without it being too revealing and looking out of place in wintery Skyrim.
Armour mods that add new high quality armour sets to Skyrim
Now, we will look at some of the best mods for Skyrim that add a single armour set to the game. As with all the other mods, these are lore friendly and give Skyrim a consistent look and feel and do not break your immersion when you are playing the game.
The first is Crimson Ranger Armor by Patobek. This mod adds a new armour set designed specifically for Rangers. It is designed for both male and female characters and as you can see from the screenshot below, the level of detail is impressive and the armour looks lovely. The armour is also craftable. Be sure to install both the mod and the fix when installing this mod.
The second mod I recommend is actually a shield mod. Skyforge Shields by Dreogan. This mod allows you to craft shields at the Skyforge or purchase some of them from Eorlund Graymane. As you can see from the screenshot, these are truly gorgeous shields. The mod author recommends that you install the mod Dual Sheath Redux if you want to be able to wear your shield on your back.
Next, Warchief Armor by the author of Immersive Amors, hothtrooper44. This standalone armour set is for a Barbarian character and exactly what you would expect a Barbarian to wear in the colder climate of Skyrim.
I would recommend also checking out the authors other standalone armour sets particularly the Spellbinder and Vagabond sets if they fit the character that you are playing. As you would expect from a modder of hothtrooper44’s ability all their mods are of a superb standard are totally lore friendly.
Bosmer Armor Pack by Maty743 is the last mod I will look at today. The Bosmer or Wood Elves in Skyrim are excellent hunters and archers and the armour sets (five in all) introduced in this mod are wonderful. They can be crafted only using Elven forges and are made entirely of leather and bone. The detail, as you would expect from the Elves is wonderful and if you play a Bosmer character I cannot recommend this mod enough.
Conclusion
Today, I have continued my series looking to improve the look of vanilla objects in Skyrim and also expanding it using mods. I only include mods that not only look beautiful, but also fit with the overall look and feel of Skyrim and do not break your immersion. We have looked first of all at.
Finally, we looked at a collection of mods that introduce:
I do hope that you found my hub useful and that you have installed, are using and love some of the hubs I introduced today. I would like to thank all the modders for their wonderful content and of course Bethesda for making the games I love.

< Skyrim: Items / Smithing(Redirected from Skyrim:Dragon Armor)
Dragon items are high-quality armors and weaponsDG Hollow knight save file backup. made out of dragonparts. Dragon armors come in lightDragonscale Armor and heavyDragonplate Armor varieties. Dragon weapons are added by the Dawnguard add-on, and require that it be installed.
Dragon items can be crafted if the player has the Dragon Armor perk, the final perk in Smithing's perk tree. Unlocking it requires a Smithing skill of 100 and all of the perks in either the light armor or heavy armor branches of the perk tree. Note that unlocking this perk does not allow you to then travel down the other armor branch, e.g., if you unlock Glass Smithing and then Dragon Armor, you cannot then unlock Daedric Smithing if you don't already have Ebony Smithing.
The Dragon Armor perk also allows you to improve Dragon items twice as much. This perk applies to both unenchanted and enchanted items (generic or custom), as long as the Arcane Blacksmith perk has been unlocked.
Dragonscale Armor[edit]
Dragonscale is the best light armor in the game. It appears in leveled lists starting at level 46 (enchanted varieties at level 47). However, even after level 46, Dragonscale armor is twenty times less likely to appear than other armor types. All items can be tempered using 1 sample of Dragon Scales, and having the Dragon Armor perk doubles the quality improvement.

Dragonplate Armor[edit]
Dragonplate is tied with StalhrimDB as the second-best heavy armor in the game, beaten only by the elusive Daedric Armor. It appears in leveled lists starting at level 40 (enchanted varieties at level 41). However, even after level 40, Dragonplate armor is twenty times less likely to appear than other armor types. Either Dragon Scales or Dragon Bone are used to temper the armor:
Having the Dragon Armor perk doubles the quality improvement.
Although Dragonplate armor has a lower base armor rating than Daedric, the difference in base armor rating is not always significant. A full set of either type of armor can provide a character with an armor rating well past the 567 displayed armor rating needed to achieve the armor cap by applying the right combination of Heavy Armor perks, Fortify Heavy Armor enchantments while wearing the armor, and/or use of Fortify Smithing enchanted gear and potions while improving the armor. At that point, the lighter weight of Dragonplate (79 vs 96) may make it more attractive than Daedric (unless you have the Conditioning perk or The Steed Stone ability, both of which make equipped weight zero). Also, the materials used to make Dragonplate armor are generally available in larger quantities than Daedric Armor. Note that getting the Dragon Armor perk uses the same number of total Smithing perks as the Daedric Armor perk, if you take the left-hand branch of the Smithing tree.
Another benefit of dragonplate armor is if you usually use light armor for yourself, focused on the left side of the Smithing Perk Tree, and want to make some powerful heavy armor for your followers, or do the reverse.
If you are smithing Dragonplate Armor for profit, consider making Dragonplate Cuirasses, and then temper them with a Dragon Bone to increase the value.

Dragonbone WeaponsDG[edit]
Dragonbone weapons are the highest-quality weapons available in the game, but are only available if the Dawnguard add-on has been installed. They do not appear in leveled lists, and can only be obtained via crafting or by looting a Keeper. All items except ammunition can be tempered using 1 Dragon Bone, and having the Dragon Armor Smithing perk doubles the quality improvement.
