A Daedra heart



Daedra Hearts are collected from slain Dremora. In addition to their alchemical uses, they are also a key ingredient in making Daedric armor and weapons, both at standard forges and at the Atronach Forge. These multiple uses, coupled with their rarity, make them extremely valuable items. Although Daedra hearts are rare, nearly all of their sources do respawn, meaning that obtaining sufficient Daedra hearts for creating Daedric gear may be difficult, but not impossible.

NotesEdit

The key difference between Daedric and ebony equipment is that the essence of a Daedric creature is bound into the equipment. Daedra hearts provide that essence, and therefore are critical for making all varieties of Daedric gear. Specifically:
