Daedra Heart (Skyrim)

This is an item used to craft Daedric Armor in Smithing or to create Potions. It is considered rare because there are very few Daedra in Skyrim. Many apothecary shopkeeps have them but do not refill their stock stock for weeks at a time. Quite a few are found in the quests to obtain Daedric artifacts while few can be found on random "roll" apothecary sachels.

Four Daedra Hearts can be farmed from Dremora Kynreeves at the Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon, east of Morthal. The NPCs respawn after a few days, establishing the Shrine as perhaps the only efficient location to gather Daedra Hearts.
