Blackguard's Boots

The Blackguard's Boots are the boots of a set of armor that also includes a chestpiece, gloves and a hood. They can be found in the basement of Glover Mallory's house along with the rest of the set, however Mallory will only give you the key to his basement after you complete Paid in Full. The boots are also only available to Thieves Guild members, as you must complete Meet the Family in order to receive Paid in Full. In appearance, they are identical to the unobtainable Thieves Guild Variant Boots, though these boots provide five more points of protection. Their enchantment functionally serves as an upgrade to the base Thieves Guild Boots, increasing your pickpocketing skill by 40 points, a bonus five points better than the Guild Master's Boots (and with 2 more points of protection) without having to complete the entire Thieves Guild questline to obtain them. These boots can be tempered with a piece of leather.

Bugs

• All the Blackguard's Armor items will respawn when Glover Mallory's basement resets, allowing multiple copies of the set to be obtained
  • The Unofficial Dragonborn Patch, version 2.0.0, fixes this bug.
