Unique Armor is a type of armor available in Skyrim that is generally found in fixed locations, unlike most equipment in the game, which are randomly generated or generic equipment (see Generic Magic Apparel). Some of these armors can be improved through smithing. Improving enchanted armor requires the Arcane Blacksmith perk.

Many of these items are quest rewards, although some of the most valuable quest rewards are listed at Leveled Items (unique items, but with level-dependent statistics) and Artifacts (unusually powerful unique items with unique appearances and enchantments). For unique items that are needed to complete quests, please see the Quest Items article. For other unique items in the game, see the Unique Items article. For a list of the other available armor, see the armor category.

Ahzidal's Armor of Retribution

Ahzidal's Armor of Retribution is the chest piece of a set of armor created by the legendary Nord enchanter Ahzidal. It can be found in Kolbjorn Barrow, after defeating its creator during Unearthed. This armor is identical in appearance to ancient Nord armor, but provides fifteen more points of protection and weighs ten points more. Its enchantment gives you a 5% chance to paralyze enemies who strike you with a melee attack, making dealing with multiple melee enemies much easier.

Ahzidal's armor can be tempered with a steel ingot, with the Advanced Armors perk doubling improvement.
