Skyrim Dawnguard DLC Guide: New Craftable Dragonbone Weapons

Ever felt the Dragonborn’s dragonbone smithing was a little lacklustre? Bethesda did, so with the release of Skyrim’s first DLC Dawnguard it added in a bunch of new weapons for you to craft.

There’s a couple of obscure extras added in for good measure, but mostly you’ve got a a slew of dragonbone weapons to create.

You won’t need to do anything special to unlock these extra items, all you need is the Dragonbone skill upgrade in the Smithing sklil tree which you might already have.

It’s interesting to note that each of these weapons are only slightly more powerful than their Daedric equivalent, in most cases only a point or two difference. They are pretty valuable, however.

Below are all the new items you can craft with Skyrim’s Dawnguard DLC, their attributes and the necessary item requirements.
