Stormcloak gear? you can forge imperial armor but not a Stormcloak Cuirass?

Dunno. Just kill a Stormcloak and take his gear.

Yes, I've noticed. You can create a mod for that. All you have to is to create two recipes in the CK, tab "contructible items": one in order to allow you to create the said armour at the forge and another one allowing you to improve it at the bench.

unless you are a stormcloak then thats kinda like... idk....


yeah i would mod but im on xbox

You can get all the Stormcloak gear you want just by entering one of their barracks or camps. There is gear laying around their living quarters.

i think you get a set when you join the stormcloaks.

I think extended smithing already does the job for you.

It is likely because the Imperials existed in Skyrim long before the Stormcloaks formed. Because of this time difference is the knowledge of crafting Stormcloak armor not far spread.

it does not...

i understand there are ways of finding it... but i think it detracts just alil from the game that you cant.... i think you should gain the ability once you join one side or the other... ie: join imperials forge imperial armor... join stormcloaks forge there stuff...

It's because the Empire has been in Skyrim since it's founding, and the rebels have just now showed up. At least that's my guess.

yeah but wouldn't you think that atleast winterhold, windhelm you would be able to forge or buy it from the blacksmith? i guess stormcloak armor just happens its not forged
