After successfully clearing the bandits from Fort Hraggstad, your usefulness has been proven to Legate Rikke. Your oath has been sworn; you are officially an Imperial soldier and protector of the Empire. It's time you look the part. General Tullius tells you to go to Beirand, the smith, to get outfitted with your own Imperial armor. Talk to Beirand and choose your preferred weight:
Armor Type
Helmet
Boots
Shield
Bracers
Armor
Heavy
Imperial Helmet
Imperial Boots
Imperial Shield
Imperial Bracers
Imperial Armor
Medium
Imperial Light Helmet
Imperial Light Boots
Imperial Shield
Imperial Light Bracers
Studded Imperial Armor
Light
Imperial Light Helmet
Imperial Light Boots
Imperial Light Shield
Imperial Light Bracers
Imperial Light Armor
When you are properly outfitted, Beirand will admonish you: "Now, that's it. One free outfit per soldier. You lose that, or get it banged up, you'll need to pay like everyone else."
It is not possible to do this quest if you first join the legion by giving the Jagged Crown to General Tullius.
Note that the Medium option contains one heavy armor piece (shield) and the rest are light armor pieces.
Completing this quest will allow you to adoptHFKayd if he ever becomes orphaned. In effect, this means Kayd can only be adopted if you choose to first join the Legion (although you can later defect to the Stormcloaks by giving the Jagged Crown to Ulfric).
Beirund's inventory will carry less items after this quest.
The following empty quest stages were omitted from the table: 10, 11, 12, 255.
Notes
Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage CW01AOutfitImperial stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest CW01AOutfitImperial.
