Skyrim Unique Weapons and Armor Locations Guide

Where to find all the legendary leveled items - weapons, armor and clothes in Elder Scrolls V Skyrim.


Most of the leveled up (legendary) items are obtained through quest rewards. The item’s level is dependent on the player’s level and the time on which the reward is given. Some items don’t improve if you’re a higher-level character or some items will have better physical, magical or enchanting abilities.
