  Dragon born guide: Armors and Spells

   

  Dragon Born is Skyrims 3^rd DLC and In personal opinion, the best elder scrolls DLC I’ve played(To hell with horse armor). Of course this guide will contain massive spoilers and stuff so I’ve decided to split it into sections so you can only spoil what you want ^_^. I don’t expect you to read the whole thing for fun, just use it for reference if you are unsure about something.

   All Information here is from personal and friends experiences on multiple accounts over multiple Play styles. It will be constantly updating and if I make a mistake, for the love of god correct me. This first section will be on armors and spells found within the Dragon born DLC. If obtaining an armor requires revealing apart of the MQ, a (*) will be placed next to it.

   So after hours of standing at a forge going through the menu and finding all the clothes I sold or found I have finally almost finished the armor section. That’s right, only almost. My eyes feel like salt is being fed directly in them. Not to mention I had the smith standing next to me saying “I’m glover Mallory and I’m an asshole” the entire time. Also, if you want to spice it up, make it look pretty, anything like that, tell me. I aims to please.

  If you want to find something specific use (on mac) CMD+F. I assume it's the same sort of thing on PC

   So without further ado, the armor section! 

   Sets will be grouped together

  Bonemold Guard Armor

   

  This is a craft able armor that looks exactly like Pauldron armor with a bit of badass looking cloth on the front. This is obtainable by crafting 1 Iron ingot, 10 bone meal and 2 netch leather.

  The only NPC I’ve found wearing guard armor is captain veneth in raven rock.

  AR of 72. WGT: 34

   

  Bonemold Pauldron Armor

   

  Is a craft able armor that is essentially bonemold armor with shoulder pads and higher AR. Requires the same as guard armor to craft. Difference higher AR. This bonemold chest piece is the easiest to acquire out side of crafting, as soon as you get in to raven rock, a full set of B-mold armor is available to the east, where you first meet captain veneth is a dead body with the set ready for taking. Also available on dead redoran guard during *Served cold.

  AR of 75. WGT: 36

   

  Bonemold Armor

   

  The most inferior armor piece, has the lowest AR of all the B-mold chest pieces and can only be acquired through smithing and buying. Needs same ingredients as above, not worth it.

  AR of 72. WGT: 34

   

  Bonemold Helmet

   

  Craft able and buyable, can be found with pauldron armor, is the only B-mold helmet currently available.  Made with: 1 netch leather, 6 bone meal, 1 iron ingot AR: 38. WGT: 4.5

   

  Bonemold Boots

   

  Craft able and buyable, can be found with pauldron armor. Made with: 1 netch leather, 6 bone meal, 1 iron ingot. AR: 27. WGT: 7

   

  Bonemold Shield

   

  Craft able and buyable, can be found with pauldron armor: AR 31, WGT: 8. Made with 1 netch leather, 8 bone meal, 1 Iron ingot

   

  Bonemold Gauntlets

   

  Craft able and buyable, can be found with pauldron armor. AR: 27. WGT: 3.5. Made with 1 netch leather, 4 bone meal, 1 iron ingot.

   

  *In order to get Advanced bone mold armor you need to be apart of the thieves guild OR visit castle karstagg. Advanced Bonemold has a better AR, but is heavier and only available in pauldron form.

  8/10

  Note: BoneMold is under the steel smithing perk

  Chitin Armor

   

  Chitin armor can be found on reavers and random wandering dunmer people. Chitin light armor makes you look like a badass bounty hunter, demon hunter when coupled with the nightingale hood. It benefits from one of the light armor perks. To make it use: 2 netch leather, 5 chitin plate, iron ingot. OR buy it. OR (spoiler) After the final descent quest you enter a room with a guy wearing this. Ruin his day and take it. AR: 42, WGT 4

   

  Chitin Helmet

   

  *Makes you look like a retarded beatle.

  Pretty rare to find ON people actually, I’ve only seen one. It’s on the guy in the tavern in raven rock. The mercenary if I remember correctly. It has an AR:19 and WGT: 1, a fucking sensational ratio if your level 20 or below. To make: 1 netch leather, 2 chitin plate, 1 iron ingot

   

  Chitin Boots

  
  Basically nothing special about them, found with chitin armour generally. AR: 12. WGT: 1 To make: 1 netch leather, 1 iron ingot, 3 chitin plate

  Chitin Bracers

  *Look like turtles on your arms

  Literally the same stats and locations as boots. Only difference is remove one of the chitin plates and it has +1 weight. Logic right? AR: 12 WGT: 2. To make: 1 netch leather, 2 chitin plates, 1 iron ingot.

  Morag Tong Armor is a black variant of the light chitin armour. First found in quest: Served cold.

  Chitin Heavy Armor:

  The of course heavier variant, features an extra plate on the front and 2 plate shoulder guards. AR: 90, WGT: 35. To make it is 2 netch leather, 6 chitin plates, 1 corundum ingot. You can find a full set of this during the quest *served cold when killing the final guy*

   

  Chitin Heavy Gauntlets

  Feature some badass claws, looks good on beast type characters such as werewolves. AR 32, WGT, 5. To make is 1 netch leather, 3 chitin plates, 1 corundum ingot

   

  Chitin Heavy Boots:

  hehe, they look like slippers…

  AR: 32, WGT 6, to make: netch leather, 4 chitin plates, 1 corundum ingot

   

  Chitin heavy helm:

  AR: 43, WGT 5, to make is the exact same as heavy boots.

   

  Over all this entire section of armors fit pretty well with mercenarys, bounty hunters and without the helms, werewolves.

  Note: All chitin is under the elven smithing perk

  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

   

  Nordic Carved Armor:

  Nordic Carved armor is probably one of the most badass armor sets yet. It fits all kinds of character archetypes and is pretty decent, being 2^nd in line for strongest armor set (AR per WGT) in the DLC. AR: 98, WGT: 37. Can be bought, crafted and found. This is very common armor in that in every reaver camp is a reaver lord, ALL sporting this armor. However making it takes A LOT of items. To make: 3 leather strips, 6 steel ingots, 1 ebony ingot, quicksilver ingot.

  Nordic Carved Helmet

  Is resembling of the stormcloak officer helm except that this is metal. And metal is cool. AR: 45. WGT: 7. To make: 2 leather strips, 4 steel ingots, 1 ebony ingot, 1 quicksilver ingot.

  Nordic Carved Boots

  Craftleable, bought and found, these boots actually look comfortable. AR: 34, WGT 6. To make: 2 leather strips, 4 steel ingots, 1 ebony ingot, 1 quicksilver ingot.

  Nordic Carved Gauntlets

  A nice pair of guantlets, a tad rare than the other pieces, has better WGT than boots and needs less ingredients. AR: 34, WGT: 5, To make 2 leather strips, 3 steel ingots, 1 ebony ingot, 1 quicksilver ingot.

  Note: Under advanced armours smithing perk

   ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

  They are the basic DLC armours. The following sets require extra to get, or are unique. Only stalhrim is available to smith from scratch. Problem being is the account I completed the appropriate quest does not yet have ebony smithing. Any help with this would be appreciated. Expect Spoilers.
