Skyrim:Magic Items

There are a large number of diverse magic items to be found in Skyrim.

Types of Magic Items

There are a few different ways to find magic items.

• Some are given as quest rewards.
  • Most of these items are leveled items, which means that the quality of the item and the strength of its enchantment depends upon your character's level.
  • Other quest rewards - in particular, those given for completing the Daedric Quests - are considered to be artifacts.
• Most magic items are found as random loot. The items that can appear in random loot are determined by your character's level.
  • The random weapons are all listed on Generic Magic Weapons; the Weapons section on this article provides some general information.
  • The random apparel (armor, clothing, and jewelry) is all listed on Generic Magic Apparel; the Apparel section on this article provides some general information.
• A few magic items can be purchased from merchants.
  • Some merchants sell unique enchanted items.
• You can create your own custom magic items.
• If you have different items with the same effect, the effects will 'stack' i.e. if you have a ring and a circlet which both fortify Smithing by 25%, your smithing will be fortified by 50%.
