Acquisition[]
Emeralds are leveled loot, typically found in chests, but rarely found on corpses. They may also be found as dungeon dressings, on display on shelves, or in display cases. Thieves that inhabit Riften commonly contain these items. Vendors such as Madesi or Fralia Gray-Mane, who specialize in the sale of jewelry and jewels may have these items.
The chances of finding an emerald are increased with the Prowler's Profit, garnered by reconstructing the Crown of Barenziah during the quest, "No Stone Unturned"
Fixed Locations[]
- One emerald can be found in a wooden bowl with gold coins inside the Fellglow Keep's Dungeons in the same room with prison cells.
- Two emeralds at the Volskygge Peak on each side of the central pillar, down the steps from Volsung's coffin. They are used as the pillar's eyes that looks like bird head. Also during the fight with Volsung they may fall from the pillar beneath the snow.
