Last update: 05 December 2019
This page of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim guide includes the thirdpart of Blacksmithing description. We have prepared comparisons of orc, ebony, glass, dragon, and daedric items that can be made through blacksmithing. An additional table is also available for jewelry making.
Glass items
Comments: You will be allowed to manufacture objects from this category after unlocking Glass Smithing perk (increasing the Smithing skill to at least 70 points is required). This category contains weapons and armors. Attack and Defense columns show 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.

Dragon items
Comments: You will be allowed to manufacture objects from this category after unlocking Dragon Armor perk (increasing the Smithing skill to 100 points is required). This category contains only armors. Plate armors are heavy, so if you're more interested in wearing something light you should take a look at the scaled armors. Dragon scales and dragon bones needed to manufacture dragon armors can be obtained by examining the remains of killed dragons.

Daedric items
Comments: You will be allowed to manufacture objects from this category after unlocking Daedric Smithing perk (increasing the Smithing skill to at least 90 points is required). This category contains weapons and armors. Daedra hearts are needed for crafting purposes and sadly this is a very rare material. This means you should be spending the hearts wisely, so you won't waste any of them on things you don't need. You can acquire new hearts mostly by killing dremora, however you can also find single hearts lying in plain view in Jorrvaskr in Whiterun and in Hall of the Vigilant among a few other places. It's important to know that you can create new daedra hearts by using a special Atronach Forge found in Midden Dark under the College of Winterhold (more on that in the Other types of crafting section). You can also purchase them and they sometimes appear on the list of items sold by Enthir (College of Winterhold), Zaria (Falkreath) and Arcadia (Whiterun). Attack and Defense columns show 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.
