Ok so daedric armor takes 90 smiting skill to make it while the dragon armor takes 100 and the dragonplate armor is weaker, now how can a top tier armor that requires 100 skill to make to be weaker than daedric that takes 90 skill, and don't tell me its because the dragon armor is easier to make because you can buy ebony ignots and you can go to areas where daedra creatures keep respawning non stop , and get their hearts, plus you can even buy daedra hearts so you can make daedric armor in no time, anyone help me understand this?

FACT (i think): Only the BASE stats are higher on Deadric armour, upgraded Dragon Bone is better than upgraded Deadric ;D (ill try this out later to see if i can confirm it)

EDIT: HA SCREW YOU ALL! I WAS RIGHT! All together (Helmet, Armour, Boots, Gauntlets) Dragonbone when at legendary makes 388 total armour, and Deadric when at legendary makes 381.. SO DRAGON WINS! AND YOU ALL SAID I WAS WRONG! YOU ALL SAID I WAS MAAAAD! WHOS MAD NOOOOW!!?? >: D

There are videos on Youtube!! Check them out cause they help me out alot!!!

cause getting dragon stuff is much easier then finding daedric hearts and ebony ingots...

No. Not really. This makes no sense at all.


Daedric armor is the best heavy armor in the game.

i think deadric armour is stronger lore-wise, its just messed up perk placement

Dragonplate = Light armour.

Daedric = Heavy Armour

No daedric armor is better at ALL TIMES i upgraded both and daedric is stronger




When you reply please make sure you read everything i type... i just said getting hearts and ebony ignots is super easy if you know where to look

Incorrect.

Dragonplate = Heavy Armor
Dragonscale = Light Armor

Reading comprehension isn't one of your strong points I guess. Getting materials for Dragon Armor is much easier than Daedric even if you know where to get everything from. Farming Dragons is one of the easiest things to do in Skyrim.

No, not really. Ancient Dragons give me a tough time on Master difficulty, so farming Dragon Bones isn't all that easy. Traveling to the College of Winterhold and buying Daedra Hearts from the black-market trader every 48 hours is cake.

no he was implying that the best light armor was the Dragon scale, the best heavy armor was daedric

It is because there's plenty of dragon bones available even at level 1, while it will be hard to find a single ebony ingot and daedric heart at level 1. (the bigger your level, the easier it will be to find ebony ingots and daedric heart, but dragon bones can be found at all times very easily)

So much negativity..

You likely wouldn't be wearing either Dragonplate or Daedric armor at level 1 though. At level 52, I have far more Ebony Ingots and Daedra Hearts than Dragon Bones.

By that logic glass armour should be better than Dragonscale, which I'm sure isn't the case.

The difference between Ebony, Dadric and Dragonplate in AR is negligible. Seriously, just pick the one you think looks best and stop obsessing over one having 20AR more when all three can go well over 600 with ease.

The difference between the two main armor pieces for me was literally 4 AR points. And the Dragonplate weighed less.

I decided I'd wear the Daedric anyway, because it looked slightly cooler. I think both of the sets (if you have the Silver-blood Family Ring equipped) stand right on the armor cap line, so Dragonplate is TECHNICALLY better, because it weighs less, and still reaches the armor cap.

Because as a whole, the Daedric princes are much stronger then dragons, so they’re armor is of course going to be better. It’s not of this realm making it superior to everything. That’s my take on the whole thing. It also could be a mistake the developers made making the game.

No, daedra hearts you can get em just by right clicking and buying from the trader i think that is easier than fighting a dragon right? Also there is a place you can get hearts just by killing few daedra creatures than rest than repeat so your point is not valid, i would understand if dragon armor required 90 and daedric 100 that would have made sense but like this its just stupid.

I would have to say your nitpicking a little bit. Both of them are very good, it just comes down to personal preference. I’m happy wearing either one.

Who knows, it may well be.

The only reason people seem to think dragon bone should be better is because it requires 100 smithing, when daedric requires 90. At this point, you must note that dragon smithing is both light and heavy armor, and it available no matter which direction you choose in the smithing perks. Daedric can only be obtained by going the heavy-material path. Sure, daedric smithing could require 100 smithing and dragon smithing could require 100 as well, no problem, but bethesda apparently wanted there to be a very specific progress in perks and that you can't go from a 100 perk to a 100 perk, much in the same way as you won't go from a 20 requirement perk to a 20 requirement perk; the progress needs to be there. Simple design choice, nothing to rage over.

Just look at the skill tree.

Dragon smithing provides the best craftable light armor in the game, and if you go up the light armor path it takes 5 perks to get

Daedric smithing provides the best craftable heavy armor in the game, and if you go up the heavy armor path it takes 5 perks to get.

The reason why heavy armor has the added option of "wasting" one more point to get an inferior set is because this entire game is focused around dragons and Bethesda probably figured that most of its fans don't care about the negligible armor difference between the first and second highest armored heavy sets in the game when they're probably in spitting distance from the armor cap regardless of which set they pick.

It's fine and makes perfect sense the way it is. If they made daedric come after dragon then heavy armor would have to spend 7 points to get their best armor and light would still only have to spend 5. People would complain about that too, but in that case, they'd actually have a decent point.

I don't need dragon armor to survive

Cheers

Dragonplate weighs 20% less (or more for the other pieces), while providing 94% (or more) the same protection as Daedric... this is why it takes 100

Dragonplate is for mobility
