Blackwood Armor - This heavy armor is worn by several Blackwood Company members who are encountered during the Fighters Guild quest line it is between Dwarven and Orcish armor in quality. Also, this armor is actually leveled: the version you receive below level 15 is lower in quality than standard Ebony Armor, and has statistics comparable to Orcish Armor. However, killing Umbra to obtain the armor can be very challenging for low level characters. Elven (normally not available until level 15) - A nearly full set (missing helmet and shield) can be collected from Azani Blackheart (the boss from the Fighters Guild quest Azani Blackheart.) Fin Gleam - An enchanted light armor Glass helmet with multiple enchantments that can be found in the ocean near Anvil Heavy Umbra's Ebony Armor Set - This complete set of heavy armor can be found on Umbra in Vindasel, southwest of the Imperial City. Additionally, most chainmail can be obtained from fallen Kvatch soldiers during The Battle for Castle Kvatch.

Both of these targets wear a nearly full set of chainmail armor (missing helmet and shield) at all levels. Two better sources are Tyrellius Logellus, the corrupt guard at the end of the Two Sides of the Coin quest and the Chapel Guard in Cheydinhal's chapel undercroft once The Elven Maiden has started. Chainmail (normally not available until level 6) - Most City Guards wear chainmail armor, but city guards are difficult targets for several reasons. There is also a sword in this set with an encumbrance of 28, equalling a total required encumbrance of 154 to carry both the armor and weapon for this set. The total encumbrance value of the armor is 126. Note: This armor is very heavy an encumbrance of about 250 is needed (unlikely at level one) if you're going to be carrying many other items. Armor Light Brusef Amelion's Armor Set - Can be found scattered inside Amelion Tomb which is northeast of Leyawiin along the river bank. Although they can be used by level one characters, it is highly unlikely that a low level character will have the ability or means to obtain most of them, though it is still possible. This is a list of some of the best items that are usable at level one.
