It wont drop until you level up... but you can smith it yourself if you can scrounge the materials. We need to know what ruleset you're playing under, because if you want to use "cheats" you can get your armor much more quickly than if you play "legit". Note though that I'm not endorcing one playstyle over the other... I'm just using the terms that are in common use. You can't cheat at this game... you can only play with a different ruleset than someone else.

1. Console command
2. 90 Conjuration, finish ritual quest, Atronach Forge and Sigil Stone
3. 90 Smithing, get perk, smith.

Oh blimey, spoiler.

Mine a ton of iron ore, hunt for some leather and start mass producing iron daggers. You may however first get ancient knowledge (by completing a fairly easy quest) as it will make your smithing level up 15% faster, and with the lover stone (+15%) it'll level up 30% faster. That or level up to 40 or something, then you'll start seeing daedric armor in chests and on bandit bosses etc. Pretty rare though.

Or just cheat and ruin your game :smile:

I bought two enchanted Daedric Bows from Khajiit caravans and found a Daedric Mace with an absorb health enchantment on it somewhere.
Just saying it isn't impossible to find Daedric things here and there. I'm level 51.

power level smithing, if not it will appear randomly in dungeons if you high leveled. Although i've never seen actual armor in dungeons but i've found dragon plate, so good luck if your going that way

Or if you're on the console, just power-train to 90 smithing, take the Daedric perk, and walk around buying Ebony ingots and checking alchemy shops for Daedra hearts every few days.

Im lvl 25 playing legit on expert no mods. I would rather kill someone for it or try and find it but by the sounds of things seeing that armor anywhere is close to impossible. Is there no quests that involve finding daedric armor or weapons?

Nope, not that I know of, and besides lvl 25 is way too early for daedric.

Well you should be able to find some steel plate armor on various bandits by now.

On a PC, install http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=820, then find a Daedra. "Pieces of the Past" (given at level 20) gives you a steady supply of them, but the armor is normally not lootable.

Dragon armor can be found but it is pretty rare and only at higher levels just like Daedric. Early on the hardest part about making daedric is getting all the hearts. That can take a fair bit of running around. There's no real easy way if you are on the console. I would imagine on PC you could just cheat and have it whenever you like.

It's not impossible, but Daedric items are pretty hard to find: they don't show up until level 46, and they are 20 times rarer than any other sort of item.

The best way to get Daedric Armor ASAP would be to power-level Smithing and gather some Daedra Hearts and Ebony Ingots. Gloombound Mine, located near an Orc stronghold near Windhelm, holds up to 50 Ebony ores, and doing Daedric quests often grants you some Deadra Hearts from killing Deadra in some quests. You can also buy them from a vendor at the College of Winterhold, one of the merchants usually stocks two.

The Atronach Forge can do it providing you have the ebony counterparts and the other ingredients. But you have to have a Conjuration of 90 and finish the quest that gets you the Sigil Stone. It is the only way I have acquired a complete set as none of my characters have the Smithing skill to make it.

Arcadia in Whiterun often has Daedra Hearts. After level 25 most if not all the alchemy shops will carry them.

You will enjoy the game - and enjoy your Daedric armour a hell of a lot more - if you just smithed items for you and your followers inbetween quests. You will also have a high Heavy Armour skill to match your Smithing skill by wearing your steel, Dwarven, Orcish and ebony armours in battle.
