=== Elven Armor ===
Elven armor is a medium-quality armor with several variants.
* Standard elven armor is better quality than [[Skyrim:Leather#Leather Armor|leather]], but lower quality than [[Skyrim:Scaled|scaled]]. However, it is also the lightest set of armor in the game. It appears in leveled lists starting at level 12 (enchanted varieties at level 13).
* Elven gilded armor is an improved version of the cuirass that is also unlocked by the Elven Smithing perk, but is created using [[Skyrim:Quicksilver Ingot|quicksilver]] in place of leather. Its armor rating is 6 points higher, making it better than scaled armor, but has the same weight as standard. However, a full set of elven armor when equipped with the elven gilded armor has the same total armor rating as a full set of scaled armor. It appears in leveled lists starting at level 27 (enchanted varieties at level 28).
* [[Skyrim:Elven Light Armor|Elven light armor]] is a variant worn by the [[Skyrim:Thalmor|Thalmor]] that includes boots, cuirass, gauntlets, and helmet, but no shield. It cannot be crafted by the player, and does not appear in leveled lists. Despite its name, it does not weigh any less than standard elven armor, but is of lower overall quality (with the same armor rating as leather armor).
All versions of elven armor can be tempered using one [[Skyrim:Refined Moonstone|refined moonstone]], with the exception of elven gilded armor, which is tempered using one [[Skyrim:Quicksilver Ingot|quicksilver ingot]]. Having the Elven Smithing perk doubles the quality improvement.
* In terms of armor rating-to-weight ratio (i.e. the number of armor points per unit of weight), the Elven Gilded Armor has the highest ratio in the game.

Any combination of elven and elven light armor qualifies for the [[Skyrim:Light Armor#Matching Set|Matching Set]] perk. However, elven gilded armor does ''not'' match any of the other pieces. Therefore, for characters who have unlocked the Matching Set bonus, the elven gilded armor cuirass is effectively of lower quality than elven armor cuirass.
* This was fixed by the [[Skyrim:Patch#Version_1.9|Official Skyrim Patch v1.9]]. Any combination of elven, elven light, and gilded armor now benefits from the Matching Set perk.

The [[Skyrim:Fearsome Fists|Fearsome Fists]] [[Skyrim:Creation Club|Creation]] adds the Brawler's elven gauntlets, a new gauntlet variant. The base pair can be crafted and differ only in appearance, while a pair with a 12 point [[Skyrim:Fortify Unarmed Damage|Fortify Unarmed]] enchantment can be bought from vendors and found in random loot.
