I understand it's harder to make daedric armor since you need to find a daedric heart for it but still if it's better then WHY is it a 90 skill points Skill better then a 100 lvl one !!!

If Daedric armor it's the best then IT should be the last one to learn at max skill not the other way around.. it doesn't make sense .. i never expected the last Armor that needs max skill in smithing NOT be the best one out there.
I just think this is silly ..
I mean, for the Dragon armor i need to KILL a DRAGON to make it , i just need ebony and a daedric heart for daedric armor.
It just doesn't make sense to me.

Am i the only one?
Maybe for light armor it's different but for heavy Armour it's not.
Can any one tell me if Glass light armor is better then light dragon armor? I have a pair of glass gauntlets and the dragon ones are better so maybe light dragon armor is the best in the game for light.
But why is it not for heavy ..

I really think the last skill should change. Either make it so that you can only make the heavy version or the light version, but it should be the BEST armor in the game. Come on it's DRAGON armor !!
If i went on the path of heavy armor i should only be allowed to make the heavy version of Dragon armor but it must be better then the prior one. I mean right now it makes no sense for me to make Dragon armor since Daedric, my current armor is better.
Right now your max skill in smithing for 100 skill points, In an Age of Dragons invading Skyrim , the Mighty Dragon armor, in it's heavy version, is .. USELESS.
I played heavy armor , went for conditioning skill so it weights nothing. At this point i have , almost 100 in heavy armor , i have 100 in smithing , and i was so exited to get the Dragon armor, but now i don't need it cause it's weaker.
I'm shocked , and so disappointed.

The base Daedric Armor is 139 vs 130 base Dragonplate Armor
Daedric Boots 52 vs 48 Dragonplate Boots
Daedric Gauntlets 52 vs 48 Dragonplate Gauntlets
Daedric Helm 66 vs 62 Dragonplate Helm

This is silly ..
Daedric Smithing Requires 90 smithing
Dragon Armor Requires 100 smithing
Daedric Smithing is better then Dragon Armor.

Dragon is lighter, idk... its pretty stupid, you need more smithing skill to unlock it so it should be better, if not then those perks should be switched.

I think you're looking at it wrong. Don't see Dragon armor as useful for protection -- think of it as the ultimate money maker.

1) Kill Dragon
2) Make Dragon Armor out of it
3) Improve it to legendary
4) Sell it
5) ????
6) Profit!!! (Literally)

With Dragons as common as they can end up being, Dragon armor can make you a huge amount of money in a short time.

Daedric's always been the best, always will be.

I like the lore behind it too, shame we couldn't torture any daedra in skyrim. I settle for ripping their hearts out though.

Daedric armor has just historically been the best armor (or at least the armor providing the best defense) in the world of The Elder Scrolls, so I disagree that Dragon armor should be better.

It is misleading that Dragon is the last perk and requires a higher skill to make, though.

yeah, dragon light armour is better then glass as I understand, so for a heavy armour fellow dragon armour is more if you like the design above the hard, cold numbers.

Assuming of course you can find a merchant with enough gold to buy all that. :tongue:

At OP, I hadn't even noticed, does seem kind of strange. Just a reason for me to go back to wearing Daedric, honestly the Dragon Armor looks rather silly.

It weighs less, materials are pretty much free and easy to come by even at low levels. What exactly is the problem?

To those saying Daedric has always been better; that's not true. In Morrowind the Dragonbone cuirass weighs less and has better armour rating than a Daedric cuirass.
The Dragonbone cuirass also has 100% resistance vs. fire. The enchantment is the added touch of Zurin Arctus himself, though.

Daedric is, artifacts not withstanding, the best armor.

Kinda takes a bit more work than just shapeing some bone placeing some rivets and such for makeing deadric... You bind their soul to the piece of gear as i understand it. So justafiably its better than some shoddy dragon bone

You are right and i agree but did we have dragons until now ??
Also .. i don't have a problem with Daedric being the best but !! i have a problem with Dragon being harder to make and requiring more skill , and as you say , being the final skill in smithing .. also Dragon armour is new to the game .. from my point of view i played TES starting Morrowind so this is just how far back i know.
I disagree you saying Daedric should be best cause it always was but that is personal opinion and not my main issue. We didn't have dragons until now .. and the Oblivion crisis is over.
In Skyrim i think Dragon armor should be best , or at least have NATIVE resistance to dragons(fire or frost) or something to set it apart.



My point exactly.


P.S. @Zango
I can make iron daggers, enchant them with paralyze enchant using just a petty soul and it's worth 500+ gold !!

P.S.2
With heavy armor 100 here are solid numbers no shield

4 piece daedric armour all legendary quality : 590 armor rating + better looking
4 piece dragonplate armor legendary quality : 570 armor rating

Because dragon armor is so much easier to obtain. It should still be lvl 90 though and deadric 100.

It's because it is best light armor in game and second best heavy armor while weighib significantly less than Daedric.

Because dragon armor is so much easier to obtain. It should still be lvl 90 though and deadric 100.

The difference is so big I can almost see it.

With a microscope.

I sincerely think daedric should be the most powerful armor in the game (simply because it's the armor of the daedras servants, created originally in the infernos of oblivion). Just because you can make them at smithing 90 doesn't mean it should be weaker than dragon bones. Also, did you make the deadric armor rigth after you hit 90 and the dragon once you hit 100? Because afaik, smithing skills does make a difference when creating stuff.

Agreement. I have probobly close to a hundred dragonbones stored in my house but the ebony and daedra hearts needed for daedric are quite rare. In this game rarity=power

I have tons of Ebony just buy it but the hearts are rare .. if it's harder to make and more powerful it should be the best skill and require 100 to make.
I'll put it in another way .. why can you make the best heavy armor at skill 90 but you need 100 the make the best light armor.
Plus Conditioning makes armor weight nothing ..
