How To Craft Stalhrim Items [Skyrim]

Stalhrim is a new ore introduced in the Dragonborn DLC. It is an extremely rare (meaning found only in Solstheim) deposit which can be used to smith new gear in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Aside from actually finding Stalhrim deposits, there are a number of requirements for crafting it into gear.

Crafting Stalhrim Gear

• Required: Ebony smithing perk. This is a must, so make sure you have the perk.
