You can loot the armor from them once they're killed by the imperial soldiers.įor Solitude Guard armor, there are a few lone guards outside of the gates that can be stealth killed for no bounty (nobody sees it, it didn't happen :D). If you side with the Imperials and take over Riften, then some former Riften Guards (still wearing their armor) will occasionally attack the imperial troops stationed there as guards, similar to how unnamed thieves will aggro the Riften Guards. You can get it either by killing one of the few guards present in that area (it will not count as illegal, so no bounty on you), or by looting it from some who are already dead, in an area with poison gas of some sort (you will continuously take damage while there, so you'll know it when you see it). Once you take it from them, it will no longer be counted as 'stolen'.Ī set of Markarth Guard's armor can be obtained while doing a quest for the Thieves Guild, where you must get a charcoal rubbing of some falmer runes.

I'd recommend an empty or nearly empty chest for this. Put it in a chest and tell your follower to take all from that chest. Tip: if you want to remove its 'stolen' status:

There is a Whiterun shield in Jarl Balgruff's room that you can easily steal. The basis is that the armor belonged to one of them, since it is in the inventory of that dragon. You'll notice that the guards at the tower that was attacked say that a few of their friends tried to run for it and were eaten by the dragon. You can get a set of Whiterun Guard armor legally (sans the shield), in the inventory of the very first dragon you fight, the one that Jarl Balgruff send you, Irileth, and some guards to go kill. Then click your wanted armour set, look for the armour and under the picture is an ID. Hold Guard Armor from Elder Scrolls Wikia. To find ID's to spawn in armour on a PC, click here.

If on a PC, you could spawn in the armour or maybe there is a mod to allow you to do so. Stormcloak armour is different though as they don't wear 'Stormcloak boots' they wear fur ones.Īnd the Eastmarch Guard Helmet cannot be acquired at all without console spawning. There are a few armors you can get other ways.įor completion sake this list contains not only the armors but also the shields and helmets.Īlso, Adrianne Avenicci in Whiterun and Lucan Valerius in Riverwood sell only the Whiterun Guard's Armor. Or you could just get an npc to come and murder them for you :P The only way to get most of the hold guards armors is by killing them, or stealing from them with the Perfect Touch perk.
