And good luck finding Daedra hearts for the Daedric armor.I cant seem to find any,even where there are Daedric enemies.The never seem to drop hearts.I heard that you need to be in a VR area to get the hearts.So,there went my crowns. I'm only at level 42 right now. XD
You may possibly be able to get daedra hearts from refining, but I've only ever received them from deconstructing gear. It doesn't necessarily need to be ebony gear, but since that's the level of gear that you start finding in Coldharbour, then I can see why one would think that. It's actually any gear in the daedric style - again, you don't usually see that style until you get to Coldharbour.
The only other methods for obtaining Daedra hearts (they do NOT drop from enemies):
- Equipment hirelings will sometimes send them to you
- Veteran 6-10 zones (Cadwell's Gold) - you will start finding these in the same containers that you find other racial stones (most of them are owned, so you will have to steal them)
- Heavy sacks - I've found hearts in these even at non-veteran levels, but it's rare
- Purchasing at a guild trader or trading with another player or finding in guild bank
