Madness Weapons are obtained through The Antipodean Hammer quest. Bring Madness Ore to Cutter at Cutter's Weapons to have leveled weapons and armor made; also providing the appropriate Madness Matrix allows enchanted items to be made. Madness Matrices are found in random containers and on Grummites.
In many respects, Perfect-grade Madness and Amber weapons are the highest quality weapons in the game, exceeding the equivalent Daedric weapons in damage and health. One noticeable limitation, however, is that (unenchanted) Madness weapons never ignore Resist Normal Weapons effects, and therefore are unable to inflict damage on creatures such as ghosts.

† Enchanted normal Madness Arrows are unusually expensive — the cost of these arrows was probably intended to be 14.
* This version of the arrows is labeled "Fine Madness Arrows" instead of "Fine Madness Arrow", but only for the plain version of the arrows.
‡ The unenchanted version of the Fine Madness Claymore does 21 base damage; the enchanted version, however, does 23 base damage.
