Level 41 here and the only powerful items that I've found are made from Ebony.

I made my own Daedric gear...

If you're basing it off that, I'd say either a high level smithing skill with perks on the heavy armor. More likely you just need a high skill in heavy armor.


You know what? It's back to the kitchen for me for a while but after that I'll go back to the stones, set the warrior one and see what I'll find in the chests :D If it's just skills though, then I doubt I'll have much luck with it... But I don't actually have high skill in light armor either, I'm an archer, I don't get hit... much.

It kinda explains what the stones are for...

For example... The Thief stone gives you more xp when using its skills (Light Armour, Pickpocketing, etc). It doesn't change anything based on loot afaik.

I remember finding Daedric gauntlets and a Daedric helmet between levels 48-53. I personally relied on increasing my heavy armour smithing ability; even then though finding the necessary daedric hearts from various alchemists was a tedious task (I realise the atronach forge can make them but frankly, finding human hearts is not much easier). Oddly enough, I actually happened to chance across a dragonplate helmet before I found any Daedric stuff. Didn't matter really as I decided I liked the daedric stuff more even when I could start making dragon armour.

I have found full set of glass armor this weekend. All in one dwemer ruin. Some glass and ebony weapons too. I'm level 38 and my perks goes to smithing light armor (in case it does matter).


I've found glass gauntlets, a helmet and main armour on my travels, from level 20-27(current), plus glass and ebony daggers. Glass is definitely out there! :D

As for loot following what your skills/perks are set to, I found that my heavy armor smithing/destruction perk'd punchy mage-cat has found a LOT more magical staves than my light armor smithing/archery/one-handed sneak assassin dark elf has.

That being said, the plural of anecdote is not data. :P

I found my first piece of daedric last night. Level 44. Found the armour first and boots soon after. Unfortunately my heavy armour is about 20 as I've been using light gear. Still at least my honeyside mannequin looks absolute badass lol

It can, but it's incredibly difficult. If you're a heavy armor guy, you might want to check out

Spoiler:
The Blade Armor


as it's just slightly worse than Daedric, and easily found during the main quest.

I just found my first Daedric at level 30. Admittedly, it was only 7 Daedric Arrows, from a Dwemer Centurian, but still...
