Rare Alchemy Ingredient

[Thorn]

So I just started a new character, and I swear that as soon as I got to Riverwood something incredible happened. My new character is a healer build and I asked Orgnar if I could use the alchemy lab. He replied and said sure, as long as I cleaned up after myself. He also said that he had plenty of ingredients for sale. So I was browsing his wares and what did I find with my character at level 1? A deadra heart!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone else encountered something like this?

Alchemy ingredients sold by apothecary merchants aren't level locked. Daedra Hearts are rare but they can show up at any level.

Awesome, I was just surprised to see one available before I had even enough money to buy one

yea they are availible from the start if u like daedra hearts i wouldnt say they are that rare mehrunes dagons shrine u can pick up 3 or 4 at a time from daedra and they respawn often u have to do the quest to enter first though maybe u allready know this if so oops

Daedra hearts can be available to low level characters from alchemy vendors (including Orgnar) , but are often prohibitively expensive due to the character's low Speech skill, as you know, I'm sure.

I don't know if I have ever seen Orgnar selling one ( I have seen him sell other rare ingredients though, lie hawk feathers).

Now, if only vendors would sell some salmon roe. Catching leaping salmon is a pain, so I didn't even know this Hearthfire ingredient was available in the wild at all until recently.

salmon roe ive had heartfire the day it came out and missed that where do i find it

You get 1 salmon roe on one of the round table in your Heartfire kitchen, if you build the kitchen wing. Otherwise, to get salmon roe in the wild, you have to catch the salmon leaping upstream. The ones you catch in other areas of water won't have roe. Like real-life salmon, only the Skyrim salmon leaping upstream to spawn will have roe. But it's not sold by any vendor, which is why most people has not noticed this ingredient is available.

I've seen hawk feathers just lying on the ground in random wilderness locations, usually tree-less areas, almost as if the hawk flew by and dropped them. One place I can think of in particular is the top of the rock outcrop that is near the water where you can build Winstead manor.

The Silver Hand NPC's carry hawk feathers. It's because they fear contracting lycanthropy and eating a hawk feather cures disease (nomnomnom). You can also get them by shooting down hawks.
