Hey people,

I am towards the end on the thieves guild quest where you get the skeleton key and have to meet K....... whatever her name is I forget. I opened a chest at the place outside where there were bandits and lo and behold a Daedric helmet of peerless archery was in there. Worth 2815 gold and with the enchantment of bows doing 40% more damage! My question is, is daedric loot random and also rare? As I've read on this forum daedric stuff not appearing till some people are level 50 +. I'm level 33 very nearly 34 and only just starting to get ebony weapons/armor. I'm not smithing as I've heard it kills the game somewhat and makes it easy. I'd love a full set of daedric though

Cheers,

Solo

Yes, Daedric is in the random loot list. So you will find it.

I'm level 42 and I've only gotten like 20 Daedric arrows from a chest once.

More than me. I've got 1, which I found when I was level 28 or something. I'm saving it for a rainy day, lol.

Lol. Just don't get it to the knee.

LOL.

I didn't think of this but some guy on a youtube video commented "I used to make arrow to the knee jokes, then I took an arrow to the knee". I thought it was hilarious.

level 45 and only one daedric dagger

Lvl 52, no daedric stuff, one heavy dragonbone shield, plenty of ebony stuff (most draugr have ebony weapons).

e: Oh, I actually found 20 daedric arrows on a giant. Now I'll have to go hunt for some knees...

level 49 and I just found a daedric greatsword, and a daedric mace

before now I hadn't found any daedric items (besides arrows), but I did find a dragon plate helm at level 38 or so.

They are rare as you level you will find more and more it seems I like blackreach for arrows the big drawven mechs seem to have em.

There are three things which determine how good the loot is:

- Zone level multi determined when you first discover the zone

- Container multi (chests will generally have better items, and chests in places deemed "more difficult" will have even better items)

- Your difficulty level (effects all random scaling having to do with player level)

Could you please explain the discover part? i thought i was upon entering the cell, whats with a dungeon where i found the location but didnt enter and returned later. I was in hope it would work that way, because doing alot of exploring early on, kinda screws you later on. I acctually hate fighting level 1 bandits at Level 57.

Level 48, no random Daedric gear, but a Dragonscale helmet and Dragonscale boots. Meh, twill do for now.

I'm level 31 or 32 and just found my first daedric arrows. Now if I could only duplicate them!

first one is wrong. enemies still scale up and items too even if visit a zone early. there are a few exceptions to this rule e.g. bleak falls barrow. but most dungeons stick to this rule. the loot inside the chest and the dungeon are set in place the moment you enter the CELL. not discover them. thats wrong.

example : a chest on a dragon word wall. if you fast travel three the chest will be random. if you SAVE when you have already arrvied at the word wall the chests loot is SET. but if you SAVE BEFORE you fast travel to this location the chest will be random EVERY time you reload and travel again. this system is the same [censored] as the chest system of oblivion was.


second one is correct (your best chances are the dragon word walls on the map. thier chests have the highest chances respawn every 10 ingame days).


third one is definitly wrong chances are unaffected by difficulty level. difficulty only effects enemy hitpoints and enemy damage not loot.

the chances of finding a FULL deadric armor without smithing or conjuration ritual are very very small. without exessive reloading abuse you will have discoverd ALL dungeons and still lack a full set. same goes for dragon armors. you can however get deadric easy either with smithing (requires 5 perks) or conjuration (requires no perks but 90 conjuration and ebony items) tough the boots are bugged and cannot be looted during the conjuration ritual.

dragon armor can only be gotten effectily by using smithing. getting a full unentchanted set (so you can entchant yourself) is nearly impossible or would simply require ENDLESS reloading abuse.

I'm level 49 and have only come across daedric arrows in random loot. Le sigh.
