Imperial Light Armor is a piece of light armor and part of the Imperial Light Armor set found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Locations[]
- The Torturer and Torturer's Assistant wear Imperial Light Armor during the quest "Unbound."
- One can be acquired upon joining the Legion and asking the Beirand for Light or Medium armor.
- Three can be found in Fort Neugrad if the Empire reclaims it after "Season Unending."
- Worn by Imperial Soldiers.
- Worn by Captain Valmir if impersonating an Imperial officer.
Smithing[]
Imperial Light Armor requires a Smithing level of 20 and the Steel Smithing perk to forge. It can be crafted at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 3 × Leather Strips
- 2 × Leather
- 2 × Steel Ingot
It can be upgraded with a piece of leather at a workbench. It does not benefit from the Steel Smithing perk.
Variant[]
A variant of the armor piece, called Studded Imperial Armor is available. It replaces the leather collar around the neck and on the back with chainmail. It grants the same level of protection as the regular piece but it cannot be improved at a workbench due to a bug. One can be obtained from Beirand if the medium armor is chosen after joining the Imperials.
Trivia[]
- When wearing a full set of imperial armor guards may comment "judging by the armor you're wearing you must be an imperial scout if so well met."
