Draugr items

Comments: You will be allowed to manufacture objects from this category after joining the Companions (warriors guild in Skyrim) and completing all primary quests of this organization (the last primary quest is named Glory to the fallen) - Smithing - Items - p.1 | Crafting - Crafting - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Guide

Comments: You will be allowed to manufacture objects from this category after joining the Companions (warriors guild in Skyrim) and completing all primary quests of this organization (the last primary quest is named Glory to the fallen). Once you've fullfilled those requirements you can interact with a Skyforge (screen above) which can be found on top of a small hill to the north of Jorrvaskr in Whiterun. This category contains only weapons and in order to manufacture them you must have old nord weapons with you. The best way to acquire these materials is to explore various dungeons and ruins, because nord weapons are often used by draurgs. Attack column shows the default values. It means that the values may increase along with the main character's skills and therefore better items can be created later in the game.

This category contains weapons and armors.
