The Hearthfire update, among other changes and innovations, added the ability to build your own home in Skyrim. This allows you to not only significantly diversify the gameplay, but also just take a break between the exploits.
Naturally, a certain amount of resources, such as clay, glass, stone and sawn logs, will need to be spent on building a dwelling. Skyrim offers you several options for their extraction, each of which should be given special attention. In this article you will find all the information regarding sawn logs.
Main way
Traveling around the game world, you could meet sawmills on its open spaces, on which the resource you need is produced - a sawn log. Skyrim is rich in dense forests, therefore it is not surprising that wood processing has become one of the main occupations of local residents.
To order goods, you need to talk with the owner of the sawmill and pay him 200 gold for it. In addition, if you don’t know where to get the sawn log in Skyrim, or if you simply don’t want to leave your home, you can ask the manager to make a deal for you, thus saving yourself from unnecessary running around.
Please note that logs will not be added to the hero’s inventory. Instead, they will appear next to the construction site in the form of stacks. Also, do not forget about the high cost of the resource, so before you go shopping, make sure that you have the required amount.
Own production
If you wish, you can get a sawn log for free. “Skyrim” is not without a blessing. To do this, you need to go to the sawmill, talk with its owner and ask him for permission to produce firewood. Immediately, he will not agree, so you have to first appease the artisan in some way. For example, you can work as a lumberjack for a certain time and thus improve your relationship.
After you agree with the owner, he will allow you to use the sawmill and process the logs with your own hands. After each of the production cycles, you will receive 10 units of production without spending money on it. This method will save you a tidy sum, although it will require much more time.
A way for fans to cheat
And finally, there is a way to cheat and instantly get a sawn log. Skyrim, as you know, is not without cheats, one of which will allow you to acquire the necessary amount of any resource.
To get a sawn log, you need to enter the command "player.additem XX00300e" in the console. Here, instead of “XX”, substitute a number from 01 to 04, indicating the installation order of the Hearthfire addon. Most often, the value you need will be 04, but if the cheat does not work, you can try other numbers.
Thus, you can receive logs in unlimited quantities and at any time, and you will not spend precious gold on this. But do not forget that using cheats spoils the fun of the game, so try to use them as little as possible.
