I have a question about Daedric armor.
I'm level 20, which means I can find it. But can I go to Kvatch, kill a Daedra there, and grab its armor? Or do I have to find it like finding the other armors?

I seldom ever find Daedric armour on Daedra. I think this is largely due to the fact they don't wear it, rather Daedric armor is made from Daedra skin (much like leather is made from cattlehide). You're more likely to begin discovering it in loot or on people, and the higher you go the more common it becomes (well, semic-common). I got an entire suit from Agamir by completing the Unfriendly Competition mission a lot later in the game. But yeah, it will appear but more likely on humans than Daedra. Daedra tend to carry Daedric weapons than armour though sometimes it works.

Just a note: Daedra aren't people, they're creatures, so "grabbing their armour" isn't quite possible because they don't wear any. What they appear to be wearing is in fact natural to them.

Ah...
That makes like no sense.
Crazy Bethesda! Ah well, thanks alot.

But a question- where can I find a dungeon with occupants who wear high level gear? I usually run Fort Strand, but I always find like Dwarven.

Try Infested Mine. I just had a killing spree there, and went home with alot of orcish armor (at level 13).

It largely depends on your level; at 20 you're only at the base so Daedric armour will begin to appear but usually sparsely. As you climb the ladders it will appear more and more, in fact you'll even begin to come across bandits and outlaws with whole suits. It just takes time. ^_^

Alright. I'll check out the Infested mine and if I find none, level up a bit.

That's not quite true. Dremora are considered to be NPCs. That's why you can only soultrap them with black soul gems. As such, they wear armor or robes. Not daedric armor, but dremora armor, which isn't as good as daedric. The reason you can't loot them is because these types of armor or clothing are locked like the palace guard armor.

The "Modular Oblivion Enhanced" mod makes these types or armor available.

I said this in another post, in my game there is a friendly NPC in Roxey Inn with full daedric (for some reason), i haven't attempted killing her as she is always crowded by witnesses.

enchanted armor starts showing up 2 lvls after you reach the base so most armor will be glass and deadric by lvl 22

Not realy, i wish i had his brains to hold off the main quest until later lvls... i miss oblivion gates!!

yeah I waited on purpose so now in every gate I can get about 10k of enchanted stuff not including the crap 15 charge weapons like a really nice ring

this ring is one of many that I can get from just one gate notto forget that all the Sigil stones are better with more charges and better damage/effects

Ring of Treachery
worth 6100 gold
Fortify Acrobatics 10pts
Fortify Mercantile 10pts
Fortify Light Armor 10pts
Fortify Security 10pts
Fortify Sneak 10pts
Fortify Speechcraft 10pts

I got Ring of Perfection, i got it in some loot but cannot remember where, i think it was during a daedra shrine quest. It gives fortity 10pts to:
Agility
Endurance
Intelligence
Luck
Personality
Speed
Strength
Willpower
And has a value of 8100.

wow thats nice it makes me think that Bethesda should have made it so you can use multiple soul gems when enchanting stuff so you can have bigger effects than +10

Yeah, but i have a necklase with fortify strength 18pts and some other enchants, i didn't do it myself but i think it's the biggest fortify enchant ive seen an a peice of jewlery.

I was kinda bummed when I used a black soul gem to enchant a item and it only gave me +10 to skill I'm not sure if the same magnitude applies to attributes

I think fortifing attributes and skills are the same, but when i use a grand soul mine goes up to 12pts.

hu ill have to check that out when I get home although I may be mistaken and grand =12 that would make more sense yeah I'm pretty sure thats what it was.

whats the name of that is it just "amulet of spell absorption"?

Yea but i'm not a fan of absorb/reflect and all that, but the jewlery is worth alot if i remember right, i just keep it in my cupboard with all the other "jewlery junk i don't use but can't be asked to sell" junk

Spelldrinker amulet, or something...
