Dragonscale Armor ĭragonscale is the best light armor in the base game. This perk applies to both unenchanted and enchanted items ( generic or custom), as long as the Arcane Blacksmith perk has been unlocked. The Dragon Armor perk also allows you to improve Dragon items twice as much.

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. 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. Dragon weapons are added by the Dawnguard add-on, and require that it be installed.ĭragon items can be crafted if the player has the Dragon Armor perk, the final perk in Smithing's perk tree. Dragon armors come in light Dragonscale Armor and heavy Dragonplate Armor varieties. Dragon items are high-quality armors and weapons DG made out of dragon parts.
