Daedric armor is said to be the best armor in the game. But "bound" armor simply means that you cast the spell bound on a piece of armor to "claim" it.
daedric
Daedric. You can get this once you are level 20 or up, or you can use bound speels, repair the armor, drop it, and then you have it forever
Daedric armor provides the best defense out of all armor types, but is a heavy armor. Glass is the best light armor.
the bound sword is a bound daedric claymore. that weapon is tied with the daedric warhammer.
Random Items, Daedric artifacts, Daedric sword with full blacksmith+ armor with blacksmith on it, then enchanted with armor with + enchanting
because of the skill perks, both daedric and glass are equall in weight and protection.
Sorry you can't because it is the rarest armor in the game, besides dragon armor and you can only craft it
Upon completing the main quest line, no more oblivion gates will appear, but there IS still a way to get daedric armor. If you are at least a journeyman in Conjuration, you can use and cast all five bound armor spells. The armor is in fact a weightless version of the deadric armor. You need to damage the armor (preferrably with a self disintegrate armor spell), then repair it. Expert or higher armorers dont need to damage it first. Once repaired, the game recognizes it as normal armor, so you can drop it. Do so, wait for the spell to wear off, then pick it up. Do this with all five pieces, shields, and weapons, and you'll become a walking, weightless, daedric arsenal!
You can't find bound armor anywhere. The only way to get it is to buy the spells that can summon them. But, a easy solution is to buy Daedric armor. Which, is only available at level 20. But they cost a heck of a lot of gold and weigh like hell. Or you can find doomstones that give you the bound spells (weapons and armor). All of them weigh nothing and still have as good a rating as Daedric armor and weapons. You can also kwpp these weapons perminantly by degrading the weapons/armours health and then repairing it to 100 with repair hammer(s). Then all you have to do is drop it and when the spell has run out just pick it up. It still weighs nothing, you can enchant it still and it still has the same ratings.
It is daedric armour!
The best armor that you can buy in oblivion depends on what level you are. The higher level you are the better armor the merchants have. The best way in my opinion to get armor is to just find areas with strong bandits because the merchants don't get armor that is good usually. im level 30 and they have dwarven or orcish the last time i check, but while fighting strong bandits they have daedric. Hope this helped
There are no fixed locations, they just start appearing when you are at a high level.
