Morrowind Light Armor Sets

Glass Ice Bear Chitin Fur Netch Snow Bear Snow Wolf Wolf Dark Brotherhood

Light armor is a very good choice for a primary skill. Two of the coolest armor sets are light - the glass set and the ice set. Light armor is also, well, light. You can probably equip a whole set and take no more than 100-150 pounds of your carry-weight. If you are not playing a warrior definitely choose this as a primary or at least secondary skill.


Glass_Armor

Glass Armor


Glass armor is probably the most available armor in the game. It's everywhere! However, there are some really easy ways to get it:
1) Slaughter the guys in Ghostgate - there's two (!!) guys in Ghostgate with full glass armor AND Daedric Faces! I don't know about you but I strongly believe that, well, I as Nerrevarine am entitled to these treasures. They didn't think so. They died.
2) Buy the stuff off Ghostgate - in the left (from outside the Red Mountain) Tower there is a shop that sells most of the elements of the glass armor. You can buy it. Or you can 'nationalize it' for 'the good of Morrowind'.
3) Rob the Vaults - in Vivec there are three vaults for each of the houses. They are full of glass stuff.

There are other ways but these are sufficient.
The glass armor is the second worst of the cool armors. It's still very good though, because it's pretty light.

Elder Scrolls Official Site says:The Dunmer are the masters of light armor design, and the glass armor is the pinnacle of that design. Inspired by traditional High Elven ornate armors, this very expensive armor is studded with native volcanic glass. Remarkably light and flexible, glass armor absorbs and distributes shock better than steel.

Ice_Armor

Ice Armor (BloodMoon only)


Ice Armor is pretty cool. It's the second new BloodMoon cool armor. It is very high-class and getting the whole set is a piece of cake.
To get it you must *spoiler* play the Eastern Empire quests. At one point you will be asked to go to where the two rivers fork. A little bit to the south are a bunch of skaals with nothing to do. They'll give you a pick with which you will be able to cut these sterheim or whatever frozen-skeletons in the various burrows on the island. Now once you go back to these nice skaal people, each raw sterheim piece means one piece of armor or a weapon. *endspoiler*
A note - you can only get the Ice Shield through a quest. *spoiler* I did the Falco quests, so I don't know if you get it if you choose the other guy. I suggest you check out gamefaqs/bloodmoon because I just saw an East Empire Company FAQ there a few hours ago...*endspoiler*
All in all, as easy as it is to get, the Ice Armor still is fairly cool.

bear_armor

Bear Armor (BloodMoon only)


Bear armor is a new armor set that came with Bloodmoon. It's not particularly good but it's easy to find and it's relatively cheap. It looks kinda cool too, especially that bear helm with all the teeth ;-).

You can find it all over Soltsteim.

chitin_armor

Chitin Armor


I don't really like this armor set. It looks ugly and doesn't provide very good protection. It's probably the cheapest armor out there along with the netch armor.
You can find it practically everywhere, so I'm not giving any particular directions.

Elder Scrolls Official Site says:Made from laminated insect shell glued with organic resins, chitin armor is also superior to any comparable Western light armor designs. Chitin armor gives better protection, but is lighter and more comfortable, than Western light leather and reinforced leather armors. Here, as in most native style, a scarf protects the neck and mouth from blowing sand and ash while campaigning.

fur_armor

Fur Armor


The fur armor is a very nordic looking set available around Morrowind. It's not too expensive but it's fairly rare.
A set can be found around the island. It is not particularly good so I'll leave it at that.

mor-netcharmor

Netch Armor


This is the cheapest armor available. And probably the ugliest.
Can be found even in Seyda Neen.

Elder Scrolls Official Site says: Most outlanders adopt the comfortable and affordable native netch leather armor style when they come to Morrowind. The intrinsic durability and flexibility of netch hide, combined with the elaborate articulation of the Dunmer design and painstaking craftsmanship, make netch armor far superior to the heavy, inelegant leather armor styles of the West.

snow_bear_armor

Snow Bear Armor (Bloodmoon only)


This is a new set of armor that is only available through having it made for you i.e. you can't loot it. All of its elements have some minor enchantments like resist frost 5% and such. On the overall it's a pretty cool armor and it looks really nice.
You can have it made for you by talking to the smith near Thirsk (east of the lake). He will require snow bear pelts.

snow_wolf_armor

Snow Wolf Armor (Bloodmoon only)


Same as snow bear only this is wolf.

wolf_armor

Wolf Armor (Bloodmoon only)


Again, same as bear armor only this is wolf armor. Can be found anywhere on the new island.

darkbro_armor

Dark Brotherhood Armor (Tribunal only)


A very cool looking armor that is added by Tribunal. You will get whether you want to or not simply because the plot demands that you get attacked by DB assassins early in the game. This armor is very nice for the early game and suits the rogue character perfectly.
