Atreyuu2003 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 First off, it seems that there are far fewer Nirnroots in Skyrim than in Cyrodil. As a result, I am getting bored to tears with the tediousness of searching for 20 of the darn things in one of the quests for an NPC in Riften. So I am wondering if anyone has made a map yet of their locations or if anyone knows of a store or two or three that have more than one or two of them or if anyone knows of a locale that has an abundance of them. Please help. I would like to get it over with and go back to fighting dragons. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarefootWarrior Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Oh? so there is a purpose for these weeds? I wondered about that, I've been picking them up as I go, I have close to 40 of the things, been stuffing them in my storage chest at home. Thanks for the info.

It's directly East from Ivarstead, look the screenshot attached for exact location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saldu Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 There's a farm somewhere in rift with a patch of 9 roots if I remember correctly. Also, search around rivers. Also, later in the mainquest you come around a cave where you can find the shack of the famous Nirnroot researcher from Oblivion, that's actually how I found the farm, the quest redirects you there.

Raddra Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 *chokes on a Nirnroot potion* Where was a quest for these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raatorotta Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 *chokes on a Nirnroot potion* Where was a quest for these things? In Riften, in that alchemyshop at same level as door to Ratway, near water. Talk the younger woman there and she gives you a task to collect some stuff. Anyway, has anybody started the quest including Crimson Nirnroots? It says i have to find out whats so special about them, do i just eat one? Does it have any bad effects, and is that what i need to do to continue quest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I finished it, if I remember correctly there's a book from the researcher in the same shack where you start the quest, after you read that, you need to collect 30 of them. Might be slightly off since it was some time ago, but it was quite straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only quest item for the Alchemy Shop in Riften but also useable to craft Invisibility potions.http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Nirnroot#Nirnroot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started a quest that says i must find out what's so special about them. Where is the shack then? Thanks for answer already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
