Hello! I have some experience with wiki-editing for other wikis, and I really like Elder Scrolls games. If I had to order the games in the series I like, from most favorite to least, it would be Skyrim > Arena = Morrowind > Daggerfall > Oblivion. This is liable to change, though!

I made one account earlier, bunbun39, but I forgot the password. Maybe I'll remember the password some other time.

I'm currently focused on Skyrim's Leveled Lists!

Alchemy Ingredient Availability ProjectEdit

Alchemy ingredient tiers are all over the place. There are four different tier listings I'm aware of:

  • Merchant availability (LItemApothecaryIngredients) <- used by Merchants
  • Standard loot (LItemIngredients) <- used by Bandit spellcasters and apothecary satchels
  • Underground loot (LItemUndergroundIngredients) <- used by Falmer
  • Barrel loot <- used by Barrels

There is also a minor list for Silver Hand members, with four instances of Hawk Feathers (36.36%), three instances of Charred Skeever Hide (27.27%), three instances of Mudcrab Chitin (27.27%), and one instance of Vampire Dust (9.09%). This has a 75% chance to be called up thrice, with each individual call having a 75% chance of returning nothing. This will not be on the table below, because the list is too narrow.

Ingredient barrels have three different types, like satchels, but the third is for fish. A common ingredients barrel and an uncommon ingredients barrel will always have ingredients. A fish barrel will always contain salt piles, but also has an individual 25% chance to have each of the five base-game fish ingredients (and can theoretically have all of them). The barrel ingredients are as follows:

Satchels and barrels will never change types, though their contents may change when they respawn. Salt Piles can also be found in most regular food containers (such as food-or-meat barrels).

For other means of acquiring ingredients, most can be found "in the wild" and collected right from the source:

  • Ingredients you Harvest come from stationary things that typically respawn. If you have the Green Thumb perk, you receive two samples instead of one.
  • Ingredients you Catch are from tiny passive creatures you have to catch. These disappear when caught, yielding their item (or themselves as an item).
  • Ingredients you Hunt are items spawned on the death of a particular creature -- you cannot pickpocket it off of them.
  • Exotic ingredients generally have to be bought, or found "pre-prepared" in containers or out in the world.

For whatever reason, apothecary merchants will stock these ingredients, but will not deal in them (buying or selling) unless you have the Merchant perk. Most updates of the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch change this.
The Green Thumb perk does not affect these, making them more akin to Exotic ingredients.
±At least one edition of the Official Game Guide says that Spriggans drop Spriggan Sap. For this reason, most updates of the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch add Spriggan Sap to the Spriggan's death drops.

The following lists new ingredients added by the Dawnguard add-on, and significant modifications to the availability of base-game ingredients. Only base-game ingredients occur in the merchant, satchel, Falmer, and barrel lists, so those columns will not be listed here.

HearthfireHFEdit

The following lists new ingredients added by the Hearthfire add-on, and significant modifications to the availability of base-game ingredients. Only base-game ingredients occur in the merchant, satchel, Falmer, and barrel lists, so those columns will not be listed here.

  Aloe Vera Leaves Harvest:

  Salmon Roe Catch:

0.2 5
  Hawk's Egg Harvest:

0.5 5
!You need a sample first, which you plant into fertile soil. Quite a few Harvestable ingredients have this mechanic; see here for a full list.
¿Salmon found in particularly-shallow water can also provide roe, but only if hit at range before being caught.

Player-built houses also add additional sources of various ingredients, if built correctly. Notable examples include bees and honeycomb in the Lakeview Manor apiary, and a tame Slaughterfish or Salmon farm in the Windstad Manor hatchery.

DragonbornDBEdit

The following lists new ingredients added by the Dragonborn add-on, and significant modifications to the availability of base-game ingredients. Only base-game ingredients occur in the merchant, satchel, Falmer, and barrel lists, so those columns will not be listed here. If you're on Solstheim, though, you'll find that Ash Creep Clusters have been added to their list of "rare" ingredients for sale.

Bristlebacks (and Mounted Reiklings) also have a 50% chance to yield one of the basic mushrooms when defeated; either a blisterwort, a bleeding crown, a fly amanita, an imp stool, a Namira's rot, or a white cap. Werebears count as bears, and thus drop bear claws.
