Firewood are miscellaneous items in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Description

Firewood can be chopped at wood chopping block found in many cities, settlements, farms and camps throughout Skyrim, and can also be found lying about. Firewood can either be sold directly to merchants for 2Gold or turned in to mill workers and innkeepers, who accept them for 5Gold a piece. Selling firewood is a good way to earn money early in the game. Firewood is also used to upgrade some weapons at grindstones (i.e. common bows). In the first add-on, Dawnguard, firewood is used to craft arrows, bolts and the crossbow.

A Woodcutter's Axe or the Poacher's Axe must be present in the Dragonborn inventory to be able to chop wood.

Every time the firewood chopping animation is activated, two pieces of firewood are produced.

Rarely, firewood can be found and picked up like normal loot in Dragonborn and Dawnguard. There are 22 of them in Highpoint Tower, for example, and some can be found inthe ruins in the Volkihar Dungeons.

Followers can be commanded to chop firewood and carry it. They can carry firewood beyond their maximum weight capacity if the Dragonborn continues to instruct them to chop the firewood.

  • If the firewood is pickpocketed off of somebody while they are holding it, it will not disappear from their arms. Creepy right?
