Discover the top five heavy armor sets in Oblivion Remastered, ranked by protection, style, and endgame viability.
Heavy armor in Oblivion Remastered offers unparalleled protection for those who prefer close-quarters combat without frequent armor breakdowns after every dungeon. This guide highlights five exceptional heavy armor sets, comparing their total armor rating, weight, and value. Note that the Crusader Armor is not included in the list since it functions as either light or heavy armor depending on the higher skill. Several armors on this list are leveled, which means their stats will be determined based on the player’s level at the time of procurement to keep the gameplay balanced.
Top 5 Heavy Armor Sets in Oblivion Remastered
5) Dwarven Armor
- Armor Rating: 50
- Base value: 1165

Dwarven Armor boasts a robust design with a distinctive golden hue, reflecting the ancient craftsmanship of the Dwemer. You can start finding pieces as random loot from level 6 onwards or purchase them from merchants upon reaching level 10.

Crafted for the Blackwood elite, Blackwood Armor is a variant of Steel Armor that edges out Dwarven Armor in terms of protection while boasting a sleek design.

To obtain it, venture into the Shivering Isles and collect Madness Ore and Madness Matrices. Bring these materials to Cutter in Crucible, who will forge the armor for you upon completing ‘The Antipodean Hammer’ quest.
16 Madness Ore is needed to create the entire set, while Madness Matrices imbue each armor piece with its respective enchantments. Keep in mind that the armor crafted depends on your level, with level 23 or higher providing the Perfect Madness Armor set.
