Does Nightingale armor scale as you level light armor

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I am looking at a build centered around light armor, the lord stone, mara's blessing and breton resistences. One of the armors I would like to use is the nightingale one. From what I read it is leveled, what I would like to know is does it scale with your level or is it locked to the level you get it first.

Best Answer

Levelled rewards scale with your character level (i.e., the level you are when you first receive it) rather than scaling with a skill.

The Nightingale Armor does have 3 levelled variants, so if you're a higher level when you receive it, you'll get the stronger version. Once you get it, however, it will not change, even as you grow in level.

Armor in general scales with your Light Armor skill, but this only increases the Armor Rating, never the enchantment (which is where the levelled rewards differ).
