Quicksilver Ore (Skyrim)



Quicksilver Ore is used to make Quicksilver Ingots at a Smelter. Once made into ingots, it is used to create Elven armor and Elven weapons.

Quicksilver can be rare and hard to find from shopkeepers, in nature, and when just starting out. It becomes more frequent as the adventurer meets Elven craft-wearers.

There is an ore trader in Dawnstar that will buy Quicksilver Ore at 25 gold a piece.
