The Glass Warhammer is the glass tier’s answer for anyone who prefers to solve problems with one very large swing. With 24 base damage it hits harder than its elven counterpart, and at 29 weight it is a little lighter than the ebony and Daedric hammers that sit above it.
Like the rest of the glass set it has that striking green, translucent look, and it pairs naturally with Glass Armor for a light-armored two-hander build. It is slow, as every warhammer is, but the power attacks land with real authority.

Tips and notes
- Forge it with Smithing 70 and the Glass Smithing perk using three Refined Malachite, two Refined Moonstone and three Leather Strips.
- Tempering uses Refined Malachite; Glass Smithing doubles the improvement.
- Trivia: a glass warhammer hangs mounted on a wall in Jorrvaskr in Whiterun, but it is purely decorative and cannot be picked up.
