The location of the mines in Skyrim. Skyrim moon ore Skyrim orichalcum ore where to find

In the Skyrim game, there are quite a few different ore deposits that can be mined with a pickaxe and good ingots are smelted from them. It can be gold, silver, iron and also moonstone.

Under the circumstances when the protagonist uses a pickaxe to extract moonstone from various deposits, whether he can see that he will have moon ore or other deposits in his luggage. But in order to create a refined moonstone, you need to use the actions of a smelter, which smelts this ore into refined moonstones. Skyrim, refined moonstone can be found in various chests when passing through tombs, caves and other locations.

In order to smelt a refined moon ingot, it is worth getting the numbness of 2 moon stones. There is also another way to extract moonstones. They can be sold at various vendors of all kinds of goods, or at blacksmiths. Under such circumstances, it is possible to spend a large enough amount of septims to acquire several ingots of refined moonstone. When the protagonist wants to purchase exactly moonstone ore, he must pay a lower price for such stones than for ready-made ingots of refined moonstone. It also all depends on the fact that the main character must develop the skill of trading in order to buy various items, including moonstones. With this skill, you can acquire various things and also other items that are required by the main character, but at a lower price. Selling elements such as moonstone will be more profitable under circumstances where the trade skill of the protagonist is developed, he can sell these moonstones or refined ingots at a higher price and than with an undeveloped skill.

For those players who wish to create armor and also various weapons from refined moonstones, this requires a fairly developed blacksmithing skill. Under such circumstances, it is possible to achieve that the main character will be able to create elven, glass elements of armor and weapons. In order to create elven armor and weapons, it is worth stocking up on ingots and ore of refined moonstone.

With the help of a moonstone, you can also improve weapons and armor, but only under those circumstances if the blacksmithing skill is developed and the main character has refined moonstones in his luggage. In order to improve weapons and armor, the main character should use a workbench for armor, and a grindstone for weapons. Under such circumstances, when the characteristics of durability and damage in such elements of armor and weapons are improved, it is possible to ensure that they will carry sufficiently high characteristics in combat and protection of the protagonist.

Most moonstones can be found in the luggage of household goods vendors, or blacksmiths. This means that this is the easiest way to get a real moon ore or a refined moon stone.

Such moonstones can be resold and used by blacksmithing, they are quite rare, and finding moonstone ore is not the easiest thing.

Given all the information that was listed above, it can be understood that Skyrim refined moonstone is used to create armor and weapons, namely elven armor and glass ones. Also, stones can be found in ore deposits, namely, they can be mined with a pickaxe or bought from various sellers of household goods or from blacksmiths. Another plus is that all sellers can be located in different cities, there are also various caravans that travel along the roads of Skyrim and you can also buy moon ore in them.

As noted by people playing this game, the highest chance to buy lunar ingots is in Whiterun in Riften. There are skilled blacksmiths who have many goods for sale.

General information

Ore veins can be found in various areas of Skyrim. On the surface, or underground, in the places of their development - in mines. Usually they are found singly on the surface, in mines - several.
