Guide: Skyrim Unique Armor and Items Detailed Locations

While 80 unique weapons may seem like a ton, there are over 120 unique pieces of armor to be found. I don't think I need to explain how difficult and time-consuming it's been finding them all.

The unique pieces of armor grant you bonuses that range from extra carrying capacity to unbreakable lockpicks. Most of these set pieces are more than worth your time, so do yourself and look at the guide below.

Good luck out there.
