So you wonder how to get Daedra Hearts at a low level? I will reveal my secret. Read these shocking tips and discover how YOU can earn a good amount of Daedra Hearts at a even very low level.
All jokes and memes aside, I've managed to craft my complete Daedric Armor set at level 22 without the help of high leveled friends who gave me them for free. I consider this pretty good, so here are some tricks you might want to use:
- It's essential for all my tips to be in at least two big trading guilds with at least 400 members. The more the merrier.
- The most simple way to acquire Hearts is by buying them from your trading guild or guild traders around Tamriel. The big drawback is that you need a lot of gold... A lot. Current prices range between 2,5k-5k. Not recommended but it's the most direct approach.
- Hirelings: You can have up to 3 hirelings for black smithing, woodwork and clothing. Skill them to up to 2/3 so your chances are maximized. It takes quite a lot of time and luck though. Not a reliable source of income.
- The best way: deconstruct Daedric gear. Level up your deconstruction skill! This is where your trading guilds or guild traders become essential. There are several daedric items being sold for basically nothing. I have just bought a Daedric Jack for 76 gold. That's insane, since you can get a Daedric Heart out of this item, for under 100 gold! Many people don't realize that Daedric Armor sets can drop from low level enemies (Night Mothers Embrace set drops from lvl 22-30). So what I do is searching in trading guilds for:
- Daedric Shields (memorize how they look - often people sell them because they don't know that this is a Daedric item)
- medium armor -> search for items called "Helmet of the Night Mother" ... Everything named "... Of the Night Mother" is a Daedric Item and can be deconstructed
- Staffs -> there are staffs named something like "Staff of the dungeon-walker?" I only played it in German so I don't know the English name. But this staff is so often on sale for <400 gold, because it doesn't look Daedric and people don't realize this.
- Search for swords etc. memorize how Daedric gear looks like and you'll be surprised how often they're being sold.
Basically you can get 10 Hearts for under 4-8k gold which is just completely nuts. If you're lucky to buy Daedric gear for <100 gold, like me you essentially get those Hearts for free.
I hope this will help you getting your own armor set asap. It worked for me, so you should profit aswell.
