Specifically a 1H sword? I've spent 200+ hours and the only Daedric weapons I've obtained are through smithing. Anyone know of any Daedric swords in set locations?

yes

There are none in a set location, but you should find one at a high level.

It is very likely based on player level.

I received an enchanted Daedric sword from Ulfric, level fifty-one.

thats correct i have a level 65 Nord warrior, found some cool Daedric, but since i also smith i just make it myself

Yeah also daedric and dragon armor you can find.

I was kind of bummed out when I first came across Dragon Armor.

I remember thinking the entire game, "Oh this will be awesome! I'll craft a set of Dragon Armor, and since I'm the legendary Dragonborn, I'll have like, the only set. Definitely never going to sell it, Just going to make my own from the bones and scales of my slain enemies! It'll be awesome!" Then, "Now, I'm going to check out this random chest in some guys room in an inn, maybe find a few gold or somethi-*sees Dragonplate Boots* Well...that's uh...anti-climactic..."

Yep, i've found one, iirc, at 60th level.
But seriously, it's so much easier and earlier to craft one yourself, just visit some alchemists and ebony mines.


My thoughts exactly about Daedric armor.
mfw found one just after crafting it, no joking...

I'm not wasting perks all the way up to Daedric Crafting just to craft a sword. I did that on my first character.

At like 45, with the lockpick treasure hunter perk i found a daedric mace in a big chest


So its possible but maybe its the perk

"wasting"?

Yes, it's a waste in my opinion. I'm only interested in obtaining one without smithing - which I found is possible. Thread over.
