Yesterday we brought you a quick guide on how to find almost every unique weapon in Skyrim. However, just knowing where they are isn’t enough, is it? Wouldn’t you like to know just what each and every one of them can do? We thought so. After all, who wants to get excited about Queen Freydis’s Sword, only to find out it does a measly 8 damage and weighs 10 pounds?
The guide below is almost entirely complete. However, that’s not to say that it is entirely free of errors, as we’re only human. If you do happen across something that doesn’t seem quite right, let us know, and we’ll fix it.
One last note, the stats here are base stats, so it’s almost certain that these numbers will not be exactly what you see in the game. There are a number of other modifiers that will affect weapon stats. If the weapon scales depending on your level, only the base level is shown.
