Stalhrim represents the pinnacle of specialized crafting in Skyrim’s Dragonborn expansion. Whether you are building a dedicated Frost Knight or a dual-wielding elementalist, this ancient "enchanted ice" is often superior to Dragonbone or Daedric equipment due to its unique 25% bonus to frost-based enchantments. Accessing these items via the console requires specific Form IDs, which vary slightly depending on your mod load order.

Understanding the "XX" Load Order Prefix

Before using any Stalhrim Skyrim ID, you must understand the first two digits. In most guides, IDs are listed as xx02b06b. The xx is a placeholder for the Dragonborn DLC's position in your data files.

For the majority of players on Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition, the Dragonborn DLC is usually at load order 04. Therefore, you should replace xx with 04 (e.g., 0402b06b). If 04 doesn't work, try 03 or 02. You can find your exact load order by looking at your mod manager or typing help "Stalhrim" in the console to see which prefix the game currently assigns to these items.

Stalhrim Raw Materials and Tools

To craft or temper these items legitimately, or to simply spawn the materials needed for a high-level Smithing grind, use these codes. Note that Stalhrim cannot be smelted; it is used in its raw, mined state.

Item Name Console ID Base Value Weight
Stalhrim (Raw) xx02b06b 200 1
Ancient Nordic Pickaxe xx01cfb6 500 10
Hoarfrost (Unique Pickaxe) xx0179c1 1405 10

Stalhrim Heavy Armor IDs

Stalhrim Heavy Armor is technically on par with Dragonplate in terms of base protection but is significantly lighter, making it one of the most efficient armor sets for players who haven't yet taken the "Conditioning" perk. It requires the Ebony Smithing perk and a Smithing level of 80 to craft.

  • Stalhrim Armor (Chest): xx01cd9f
  • Stalhrim Boots: xx01cd9e
  • Stalhrim Gauntlets: xx01cda0
  • Stalhrim Helmet: xx01cda1
  • Full Set Code Example: player.additem 0401cd9f 1 (Adds one chest piece)

Stalhrim Light Armor IDs

For stealth builds and light-footed warriors, Stalhrim Light Armor surpasses Glass armor in quality but remains slightly weaker than Dragonscale. However, the aesthetic and the enchantment synergy often make it the preferred choice for cryomancer-assassin hybrids.

  • Stalhrim Light Armor (Chest): xx01cda2
  • Stalhrim Light Boots: xx01cd7e
  • Stalhrim Light Bracers: xx01cda5
  • Stalhrim Light Helmet: xx01cda3
  • Stalhrim Shield: xx026237

Stalhrim Weapon IDs

Stalhrim weapons deal base damage equivalent to Ebony weapons but weigh less. Their true power lies in the "Frost Enchanter" synergy. Any Frost Damage or Chaos Damage enchantment placed on a Stalhrim weapon is 25% more powerful. This effect stacks with the perks from the Enchanting tree, allowing for devastating elemental output.

Weapon Type Console ID Base Damage Weight
Stalhrim Sword xx01cdb8 13 14
Stalhrim Dagger xx01cdb5 10 4.5
Stalhrim War Axe xx01cdb9 14 16
Stalhrim Mace xx01cdb7 16 18
Stalhrim Greatsword xx01cdb6 23 21
Stalhrim Battleaxe xx01cdb4 24 25
Stalhrim Warhammer xx01cdba 26 29
Stalhrim Bow xx026231 17 15
Stalhrim Arrow xx026239 20 0

Anniversary Edition: Stalhrim Fur Armor

In the 2026 gaming landscape, many players are using the Anniversary Edition which includes the "Alternative Armors - Stalhrim Fur" Creation Club content. This set is a heavy variant that offers slightly higher armor ratings than the standard heavy version and a unique Nordic aesthetic.

  • Stalhrim Fur Armor: fe xxx 801
  • Stalhrim Fur Boots: fe xxx 800
  • Stalhrim Fur Gauntlets: fe xxx 802
  • Stalhrim Fur Helmet: fe xxx 803

(Note: IDs starting with fe are ESL-flagged and use a three-digit index specific to your load order.)

The Strategic Advantage of Stalhrim

Choosing Stalhrim over Daedric or Dragonbone isn't just a cosmetic preference. The 25% enchantment bonus applies to:

  1. Resist Frost: Armor pieces can provide massive protection against blizzard-casting mages and ancient dragons.
  2. Frost Damage: Melee weapons and bows become significantly more lethal.
  3. Chaos Damage: This is the most critical interaction. Because Chaos Damage includes a frost component, the entire enchantment (Fire, Frost, and Shock) receives the 25% boost when applied to a Stalhrim weapon.

A legendary-tempered Stalhrim Sword with a Chaos Damage and Frost Damage dual-enchantment is widely considered the highest DPS weapon setup achievable in the vanilla game engine.

How to Get Stalhrim Without Console Commands

If you prefer to earn your gear, you cannot simply start mining Stalhrim even if you find a deposit. You must follow these steps:

  1. Travel to Solstheim: Reach level 10+ and start the Dragonborn questline.
  2. Complete "A New Source of Stalhrim": This quest triggers after you rescue Baldor Iron-Shaper from the abandoned lodge. You must have already completed the "Fate of the Skaal" quest.
  3. Obtain an Ancient Nordic Pickaxe: Standard pickaxes will not break the surface of Stalhrim. You can buy one from Glover Mallory in Raven Rock or retrieve one for Fanari Strong-Voice.
  4. Reach Smithing Level 80: You need the Ebony Smithing perk to work with the material at a forge.

Common Stalhrim Locations for Mining

If you have the pickaxe but don't want to use IDs to spawn raw materials, head to these high-yield locations on Solstheim:

  • Stalhrim Source: A large outdoor burial site northwest of White Ridge Barrow. It contains 10 deposits.
  • Gyldenhul Barrow: Contains 2 deposits in the entrance chamber.
  • Kolbjorn Barrow: Accessible during the "Unearthed" quest, containing 2 deposits.
  • Raven Rock Mine: One deposit can be found in the lower sections after completing the "Final Descent" quest.

Troubleshooting Console Commands

If you type player.additem xx02b06b 10 and receive an "Item not found" error, consider these tips:

  • Quotes for Search: If you are unsure of an ID, use help "Stalhrim" 4. This will list every object in the game with "Stalhrim" in the name along with its current ID.
  • Leading Zeros: You don't always need to type leading zeros (e.g., 00012345 can be 12345), but for DLC items starting with 04 or fe, the prefix is mandatory.
  • Quantity Matters: Always remember to put a space and then the number of items you want at the end of the command.

Stalhrim remains a fan favorite because it bridges the gap between lore-rich Nordic history and high-tier endgame mechanics. By utilizing these IDs and understanding the enchantment bonuses, you can optimize your character to withstand the harshest environments Skyrim has to offer.
