Madcat221 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 The higher-level ores seem to be found in out-of-the-way places and at higher altitudes. It's much better to buy the ebony, quicksilver, moonstone, and malachite. It's also quicker and easier. Oddly enough, the smiths have no issues finding the stuff. Lucky for us! I did find the ebony ingots at what I thought was a far lower level than I though I should have. Seemed Belethor and his ilk (the generic traders) seemed to have a bar every time I'd swing by after about level 18 or so. So I'd buy them when I found them and had a stockpile when it came time to build my Daedric stuff. I think it was about level 18. I could be wrong. http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/mellow.gifI found Ebony at level 10 on the way to Riften, there is a settlement that has a Mine with Ebony here it is if you want the location http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Redbelly_Mine If you have USLEEP, it is an iron mine as per the dialog of the miners and that one of them will buy iron ore. Tangential, but it also has the red mist that was described and all the people husks the spiders gathered were removed since "no one's died yet" according to the foreman guy who hires you to kill them. There seemed to be quite a disconnect between the BGS writers and the level designers there. Northwind Mine a bit farther north on that road has instead been converted to be an ebony mine. The orc stronghold with the ebony mine is Narzulbur. The mine itself is Gloombound Mine. Once you clear out the draugr problem from the depths of the Raven Rock Mine in the Dragonborn DLC, you get free pickings to mine whatever ebony you want from there. There are also a couple veins on the very peak of the Throat of The World. http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Ebony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
