Nirnroot is a bright green plant normally found growing near water. Nirnroot plants glow, making them easier to locate at night, and also emit a unique chiming sound. While in-game text claims that Nirnroot does not regrow, it actually does regrow normally like other plants (unlike its behavior in Oblivion). A related plant is Crimson Nirnroot, which has nearly identical alchemical properties, with only certain differences in the Damage Health and Damage Stamina effects. Nirnroot and Crimson Nirnroot can be combined to make a four-effect potion, as shown below.
Damage Health poisons made using Nirnroot have the same strength as those made using standard Damage Health ingredients. However, the gold value of such poisons is 12.6 times greater than those made using standard ingredients. See the effect page for details.
CombinationsEdit
In terms of combinations of two ingredients, Nirnroot can be combined with 63 other ingredients.

NotesEdit
- Nirnroot can be sold to Avrusa Sarethi at Sarethi Farm for the quest Gather Wheat.
- Nirnroot and Crimson Nirnroot are not affected by the Alchemy perk Green Thumb; therefore, even with the perk, you will still only collect a single sample from each plant. However, with the Dragonborn add-on installed, several regular Nirnroot plants can be found in Solstheim which yield multiple samples of the ingredient.
- Although Gianna claims during the quest To Kill an Empire that Nirnroot can be added to soups as "a special seasoning", you cannot do this yourself when cooking.
BugsEdit
- An otherwise typical Nirnroot plant within a hollow log on a small island east-southeast of the Wreck of The Pride of Tel Vos and due west of Winterhold cannot be harvested.
- The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 1.0, fixes this bug.
- At times, the glow emitted by a Nirnroot may not disappear.
- The Official Skyrim Patch, version 1.6.87, fixes this bug.
- Sometimes Nirnroot becomes unharvestable; even though the sound of being picked will play, it will not be added to your inventory, nor will the plant disappear. ?
- Saving and then reloading the game may make the plant harvestable again.
