The Skyrim game is truly unique: here the player can choose what to do - go through story quests or explore the world, learn magic and alchemy, forge and improve armor and weapons. For the latter purpose in the game you can find a large number of materials that you can not only purchase from merchants or blacksmiths, but also find them yourself. We’ll talk about one of these materials, mercury ore, today.
Description and Application
The mercury ore in Skyrim has a bluish tint. Two pieces of mercury ore in a smelter can be turned into one bar of mercury ore. The latter, in turn, is used to create and further improve equipment - Nordic and elven.
Where to find mercury ore in Skyrim?
In what locations are ore mercury veins found? First of all, we recommend visiting the city of Dunstar. Near the pier there is the Mercury mine, in which Dovakin will find 5 veins. At the mine you can meet the owner of the mine - Leigelf, who buys mercury ore at a price of 25 gold apiece. There is this resource in Whiterun. In order to find ore, you must go southwest of the cave called Shimmering Fog. If you head north from the Battle of Dreams farm, at the foot of the mountain you can find another vein. An ore vein can be found east of the Heimar Cave. You can find the source of mercury ore near the Kiss of Secunda, a vein located on the western side at the foot of the mountain.
If the Dragonborn is in a location called the Blood Throne, he should go to the southeast. There is also a mercury vein. You can find this resource on the way to the Tower Stone from the east, in a cave called Lost Echo, you should pay attention to the first caverns on the right side. You can get a little mercury ore in Skyrim in the Alftand location - here the vein is located on the right after entering the first level.
By the way, a number of players who do not want to spend time searching and extracting this resource use the cheat "player.additem 5b2df 10" (it should be typed without quotes).
Nordic and Elven Armor
The creation of these armors is impossible without mercury ore. Elven armor is light armor; making it requires level 30 of the Blacksmithing skill. In addition, the protagonist must have the ability "Elven Armor".
To create armor, you will need not only mercury ore, but also moonstone, leather and iron. In addition, mercury ore is needed to create a gilded version of the cuirass. Nordic armor will also require a level 30 player. The full set includes boots, gloves, helmet and armor. In addition to mercury ore, the player must prepare steel and hard rubber ingots.
