You will find a description of iron ore, the location of the veins. A nice bonus is a list of quest givers willing to pay you a little gold for the ore you mine!
What is ore mining?
The mining of iron ore in Skyrim is an activity that involves the extraction of an element from cores that are located in mines or on the surface. Subsequently, the player can melt iron ore into ingots, and then create weapons, armor, building materials, or simply sell this element.
For production, the hero will need a pick. It must be in inventory, and the player must stand in front of the living. Another option is to attack the vein, picking up a pickaxe. After a certain time after mining, the vein will recover, here again it will be possible to mine metal.
