Daedric Boots - Stolen?[edit]

I got the Daedric boots (from the ruin, not from killing Diva) and apparently they were considered Stolen, since they got taken away from me when I was arrested. Are there really no others avaliable besides worn on Divayith? Lucky the Cat Guy. 21:20, 9 January 2009 (EST)

Did you try to retrieve the ones you had from one of the confiscated item chests? Michael 01:18, 10 January 2009 (EST)
I just checked every evidence chest listed in the "Crime" section, none had them. If there are other chests, can someone list them here for me? Lucky the Cat Guy. 18:35, 11 January 2009 (EST)
Indeed, they are the property of Arenara, who is non-hostile if you happen to be a Berne vampire. As for others, there's only one other pair you can get without cheats, and that's the one being worn by Divayth Fyr.
There are 3 other pairs which can only be found in test cells. One is being carried by Lord Cluttermonkey (not worn because Argonians don't wear boots) in the Clutter Warehouse - Everything Must Go! cell. The other two are in the two copies of the "Large Chest of armor", found in ToddTest and Character Stuff Wonderland. All of these locations require the console to enter, so if you're playing on Xbox, you're out of luck - Fyr's boots are your only option.
As for getting your original pair back - where were you when you got arrested? Because there's two other possibilities for the expansions that aren't listed on this page (though probably should be). If you were in Mournhold, your stuff will be in the Royal Palace Jail, and if you were on Solstheim, it'll be at the Fort Frostmoth Prison. Also, if you're on the PC and using mods, it's also entirely possible that some mod added another Evidence Chest somewhere that you'll need to find. --TheRealLurlock Talk 09:16, 12 January 2009 (EST)
there is another possible way to get them back that I find usefull and time-saving, just go to where you were caught, and they were taken from you and then get caught again and go to jain instead. that usually puts me right by the chest that has my stuff. another thing I have done is made a destroy armor/weapon spell and a calm humanoid with 100Camelion spell destroy div's armor and then calm him for a seccond and steal it from him, the calm takes him outa combat and the chameleon makes it so ou can sneak easy. there you go, with some mana pots you have your set without killing div, and you could find your old boots.  :)-

random loot[edit]

i recently got a claymore of a dremora- does this need to be included as golden saints are? — Unsigned comment by 195.137.93.129 (talk) on August 31, 2009 at 19:54

To be honest, I don't think the Golden Saints should be listed either. This seems like a scetion that provides guaranteed locations for rare equipment. With the exception of the Daedric Tower Shield (since the only way to obtain one is through random drops) I don't think random drops should be included at all. That being said, if we're going to keep random drops, then Dremora should be added where approppriate. -Dlarsh(Talk,Contribs) 04:43, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
(Update) Since there hasn't been any movement on this, I'll add in the equipment that can be dropped by dremora this evening (same layout as the Golden Saints), unless anyone has any objections. Dlarsh(Talk,Contribs,E-mail) 22:22, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Complete (as far as I can tell), except for one tiny thing. According to the CS (and her own page), Barenziah has her own Daedric dagger listed as daedric dagger_bar, but when selected for editing, the entire window is grayed out. Does this mean that the player can't use her dagger? I don't see any reason why we couldn't take it after she's killed. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Dlarsh(Talk,Contribs,E-mail) 03:14, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Sorry we've missed this. It looks good now, the list may be a bit long, but at least now it is comprehensive. As for the not being able to edit; check the Blocked checkbox, I know various NPC have that checked as well (I'm not sure whether items have this checkbox as well). You can simply uncheck it to allow you to edit the entry. I don't believe Morrowind has Unplayable items like Oblivion has. --Timenn-<talk> 08:31, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Specifics[edit]

Possibly add specifics to locations of Daedric armour? Simply stating the area is a bit vague since they're hidden (and rightly so.) No reason not too; the Daedric Left Pauldron found in BM, the location is specified in a crack in the tower. Whereas the cuirass and right pauldron are simply said to be in a cave area, somewhere. I can't seem to locate the cuirass, and I had expected specifics for something so rare. Edit: found the cuirass finally, which as expected blended in with the rock. I still stand by my comment however. — Unsigned comment by 82.34.89.211 (talk) at 02:54 on 22 August 2010

Yes, this should be changed. It should also mention, that without Bloodmoon, your only right pauldron is being worn by Fyr. If you know where it is, feel free to add it yourself. I am afraid that my copy of morrowind croaked, so it might be awhile before I could get to it myself. Lorgren Benirus 03:17, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
I don't think either suggestion is necessary. The general location is already noted, and none of the pieces are that well-hidden. The list already essentially points out that you need TR and BM to get the pauldrons - that's what the superscript letters are there for. rpeh •TCE 09:36, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
The cuirass in the Wailingdelve is a bit hard to find its on the slanted ledge to the left of the glass pauldron (facing it) you have to levitate up i passed it twice without seeing it going down then back up and saw it on the way down. — Unsigned comment by 67.142.164.24 (talk) at 20:48 on 18 November 2012

Ibar-Dad and other locations where creatures that can drop Daedric items[edit]

IMO Ibar-Dad should be removed as location to find Daedric items since, to be consistent, all other locations that can contain creatures that can drop Daedric items would have to be added.

Instead I propose to add one new page for locations of Dremora, Dremora Lords and Goden Saints (containing information about if they respawning or if they are sure to be placed there, or rather just respawning ones?) since those are the only respawning hostile sources for Daedric, Ebony and Glass items.

This may be somewhat connected to Making Money:Hunting Deadra and the Materials and Styles pages but doesn't really fit there IMO. — Unsigned comment by FeXoR (talkcontribs) at 08:57 on 17 August 2018‎

Other games only contain locations for guaranteed items. Then they would have a list of likely random places. Here, only guaranteed locations should be listed under each item, followed by a list of places with a guaranteed random daedric item. Locations with a random chance of having a creature that might randomly have an item is basically useless and unnotable information. Silence is GoldenBreak the Silence 18:21, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your quick response. I'm a bit confused now though. This would imply to remove Dremora (Lords) and Golden Saints - the most common (and recurring) sources of Deadric Weapons and the only sources for Daedric Tower Shields - as "locations" alongside with Ibar-Dad. Am I getting something wrong? FeXoR (talk) 20:08, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
There isn't really a direct comparison with later games, as top-level equipment isn't as rare or hard to find. The closest comparison would be an ingredient page (such as Skyrim:Daedra Heart) which lists the guaranteed finds, then some examples of random-chance finds, then the creatures that do or might drop them. It is much more beneficial to readers to know whether the location listed is guaranteed or a random-chance spawn. Creature drops are not "locations". Cut the list as it is down to guaranteed items, then a separate list of places that you are guaranteed to find appropriate enemies for a random chance of any item (you are never guaranteed to find a Tower Shield in a playthrough), and then, if there are any, locations where you might encounter those enemies. Silence is GoldenBreak the Silence 22:27, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
Sounds good! Thanks. FeXoR (talk) 09:44, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
I hope my edit is about what you had in mind. I left the armor part untouched because it's only the shields there. For now I added a hint where to find the creatures that can drop the items rather than an extensive list. I think a more complete list should go somewhere else, either the creature's pages, the Looting Daedra section in Making Money (though that page is not very well organized IMO) or a new page for where to find creatures that can drop items that are otherwise extremely rare and hard to obtain - to avoid duplication because very similar lists would be somewhat valid IMO for Ebony, Glass, Dwemer and Drew melee weapons and Shields as well ... so not exclusive to Deardic Weapons. I'd like to have some kind of approval before I continue with Ebony and Glass Stile pages and the list of locations where to find Dremora and/or Golden Saints. FeXoR (talk) 11:12, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
Oh, and I don't have an easy way to find out if Dravil Indrano actually has a Deadric Wakizashi. If so that should be added to his page IMO. (Sorry for the tripple post :/) FeXoR (talk) 11:18, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
Isn't that so much more clear and certain? The reward from the Vassir-Didanat Ebony Mine quest should be taken out too, as you can only get one of the six possible. I would put it with the guaranteed "random" item, and rename it to Guaranteed Daedric Weapon. I'm not a Morrowind player, so I think it best to leave it a while for more input, or if none comes, then start doing the same to other pages to get a reaction. The lists for creatures might be similar, but they will be different. This would be the best place for a list of creatures that have a chance of holding/dropping Daedric weapons or armor, you've already removed nearly 3k bytes of duplicated listings, so I wouldn't worry about moving the duplication that already exists into a better format.

Agreed, done and thanks! ;) FeXoR (talk) 16:32, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
