where can I find daedric and/or ebony arrows?

where can I find daedric and/or ebony arrows? Vendors sometimes have a handful of ebony arrows; chests rarely have daedric arrows. I was hoping for a steadier supply, somehow. Surely there's a way?

Apart from cheating you have to wait until you get your level up high enough. Smithing will allow you to make them yourself eventually but you have to work at it. As you get more XP you will also find more as loot. A couple more levels should start getting you there.

Also when your level is high enough you can find Daedric arrows at the Fletcher in Solitude. I don't recall what level that is. Its far better to smith them yourself.

[Fragbunny]

I didn't even know you could make arrows yourself -- I thought it was just larger weapons and armor. How do I make arrows, then? I'm level 53 or so right now ... my smithing skill is 85 or so ... and yes, I'm starting to see more daedrics in loot drops.

And to craft arrows if think you need Dawnguard or dragonborn .. I can't remember or, you there is at least one mod in the Nexus website that allow you to do it.

Do mehrunes razor, you'll get a couple of daedra hearts, all you'll need is chopped wood and ebony ingots and the smithing skill to daedric. There is another quest too, the one where you get the black soul gem star to get more hearts. Must have dawnguard too, but its worth buying. It's worth getting the dlc if you liked V, especially since they aren't doing any more. :(

Buying enough ebony arrows from vendors was never a problem for me after a certain level. Perhaps because I invested in the speech skill tree.

The other thing is that since a bow itself can deal over 200 points of damage easily, the added damage of ebony arrows becomes less relevant. So I often use iron arrows (because I like the way they look) and stockpile ebony arrows for specific battles.

After installing the Dawnguard DLC I try to get the dragon smithing perk as soon as possible to make a dragon bow and arrows.

You cannot craft arrows in the vanilla game. To craft arrows you either need a mod or Dawnguard.

[Trigger]

when you hit 100 in smithing you will be able to make dragonbone arrows-which deal more damage then daedric or ebony

[Trigger]

@ Brandybuck, dawnguard is part of the vanilla game-modding is not vanilla

If you don't want to craft them try pickpocketing a single arrow of the type you want to use on the guards in solitude who do archery practice every day. Also take their normal steel arrows to make sure they use your arrow. Because guards cannot run out of arrows they will fire an endless supply of the ammo of your choice into the tragets that you ca pick up whenver you need them.

I just give my follower 1 daedric arrow and when i loot the corpses she has attacked i get some every now and again. It's not exactly reliable, but i can get maybe 1 or 2 from each kill if im lucky

[Biff]

The big Dwarven Centurions always have some Daedric arrows, still though I think you have to be a certain level. So, "go hurt something!"

I recently found ebony arrows for the first time recently (level 40), just 2 of them.

Reverse pickpocket the gaurds practising archery at Dragonsreach or Solitude or anywhere where they practise, remove their default steel arrows and replace them with a single ebony arrow. Do it while they're still walking around and you won't need the Perfect Touch perk.

Gaurds shoot infinite arrows so just pull them out of the target as many as you need, I now have over 700 ebony arrows and more than 1000 glass arrows.

I didn't know that!!! lol
