Steel Armor (Skyrim)

Steel Armor is a set of heavy armor that appears in . There are 2 versions of the cuirass available: with and without pauldrons (shoulder covers). They are identical aside from appearance.
==Locations==
Unenchanted pieces of armor will begin to appear throughout Skyrim at level 2 and enchanted variants can be found at level 3. These locations include:
*Blacksmiths and general goods merchants.
*Found as random loot in chests or as a world item.
*Worn by mid-level bandit chiefs and hired thugs.
==Smithing==
Steel Armor requires the Steel Smithing perk to create. Pieces can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
*Steel Ingots
*Iron Ingots
*Leather Strips
Pieces can be upgraded with a steel ingot at a workbench and also benefit from the Steel Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.

==Trivia==
*Although it would conceivably take more Steel Ingots to create, the version with pauldrons uses the same amount of materials as the version with no pauldrons.
*Steel Shin Boots are identical in appearance to Imperial Boots, though they are not interchangeable for use of the "Matching Set" perk, due to them belonging to different sets of armor. Likewise, Steel Imperial Gauntlets are identical in appearance to Imperial Bracers, but are also not interchangeable for use of the latter due to the same reason.
*The Steel Horned Helmet does not need any horns of creatures in the inventory to create, leaving one to speculate where the horns come from during the creation of the helmet.
