Where to find ore? iron ore deposits in skyrim

With a pick in your bosom, looking for ore veins is a pleasant, but long-term prospect. If you need to save time, finding out the id of the ingots in Skyrim will be very useful. The process of "casting" at the forge, grindstone and workbench will allow you to create different types of armor, as well as valuable jewelry or building materials.


Ebonite is a material without which forging the strongest armor would be impossible. It is difficult to find it in "nature", although it is possible.


The most accessible places are the Red Mine, which is located in the village called Shor's Stone; Gloomy mine (an ingot near the entrance itself); Mehrunes Dagon's Sacred Refuge (look for an open chest containing the necessary raw materials along with gold ingots). If you haven’t found out where to find ebony ingots in Skyrim, you need to get hold of two ebony ores to get a concentrate of expensive and rare metal.


With the help of a smelter, it will be easier than ever to turn the ore into the desired result.



If tormenting yourself in search of raw materials is not your style, Skyrim's ebony ingot id
- this is a great way out of the situation. Opening the console with the tilde ~, type required code: player.additem 0005AD9D 100. You will then see an addition of 100 ebony ingots in your inventory.

The Iron Ingot is the most popular choice among players looking to develop their blacksmithing skills. Relative cheapness and availability are the main qualities of this material. It is used both for home decoration and construction, and for creating simple ammunition items.


It is very easy to get and find iron: certain chances of “dropping” in the inventory of enemies and the chests themselves, as well as a high prevalence throughout Tamriel, leave no chance of not noticing raw materials while traveling. In Skyrim, the iron ingot id is also available for use. It is enough to enter the code (0005ACE4) to the basic phrase.


Then the hero's backpack will be replenished with the necessary amount of material.

The golden mean between cheapness and quality is considered steel ingot. The armor created by this metal has high protective characteristics at a low cost. Finding it is just as easy as the previous one: it often drops out of draugrs, lying around other people's forges.


Skyrim steel ingot id
useful when a small amount of raw materials can not get off. Just enter a basic phrase, a code (0005ACE5) and a number for how many bars you would like to receive.



Silver is an expensive material used for jewelry forging, as well as for equipment that needs a special finish. The uniqueness of the material is that you can get it with the help of magic. School "Change" is very useful if only iron ore is available.


Using a transmutation spell, you can get silver ore in return. Because precious metals rare in Tamriel, using a silver ingot in Skyrim id will not cause inflation, and it will simplify the user's life with a bang. Silver code: 0005ACE3.

Gold is considered expensive and moderately rare raw material. Alas, its protective characteristics are small, so it is popular mainly in jewelry. Places where ingots are the most:


1. Sanctuary of Mehrunes Dagon (11 pieces in an open chest)


2. Forgotten cave (7 pcs)


3. Island, which is located north of Windhelm (6pcs)


The gold ore required for smelting into a full-fledged ingot can also be mined using transformation. It is enough to master the spell and have a silver one in your inventory. Skyrim Gold Bar Id - 0005AD9E

Elven and Nordic armor is the most popular type of equipment in Tamriel. High protective properties, as well as accessibility, perfectly characterize these armors. Useful for their creation skyrim codes id ingot of mercury ore, because looking for deposits of the necessary material will only discourage novice blacksmiths.


Code: 0005ADA0.


Metal with a bluish color is useful for both item enhancement and the creation of other rare items of use, such as an improved Dwemer crossbow.

If the Atronach Forge is considered your faithful assistant, then getting corundum reserves is downright vital. Having chosen the path of a mage and forgetting about the existence of blacksmithing, the magic workshop under the College of Winterhold will be your salvation if there is a need to create high-quality armor. The Skyrim corundum ingot ID is 0005AD93.


It is used not only as a creation of armor, but also useful for the construction of the estate.



Also, all the necessary things for blacksmithing can be obtained from merchants or from the masters of the hammer and anvil themselves. By investing in blacksmithing, you guarantee yourself better armor at higher levels.
