Mining Spots

[NikolaTesla]

just post mining spots you've found and what is there. For example at the very tippy top of The throat of the World, where you find the notched pickaxe, theres 2 or 3 ebony ores and 1 or 2 mechadite (hope I spelled it right) ores, theses respawn every 72 hours i believe, Just sure the ones you've found here.

The orc camp by Windhelm is by far the ritchest ebony mine I have seen. I got around 50 ores from that mine.

Yeah that's Gloombound Mine on the list.

 

[NikolaTesla]

your list is so complete............ I feel ashamed now.................

 

[Ebony Knight]

Wow that's....really impressive.

 

[NikolaTesla]

exactly! I was like wow............. i have not really thought about making a complete list or anything so thank you!

 

[Ebony Knight]

Another reason to add to the mod list. This should really be stickied and locked.

 

[NikolaTesla]

Yes! or maybe not, people may still find some random ones or something,

 

[Ebony Knight]

true....you never know with games like this.

 

[Auxilium]

There are more, I can always add to the list.
If people find some that aren't on the list, they can state it here and it will be added.

Just a thought.

 

[NikolaTesla]

good idea Aux.(i'm calling u that so I don't butcher your name when I type it.)

 

[Stone]

There's a bigger list or where to find ore at UESP's Mining Page.

 

[xSuoiveDx]

When you exit Bleak Falls Barrow there are 2 Corundum veins down the hill to the right.

Ustengrav Depths - to the right of the first flame floor there is an Iron Ore Vein.
Ustengrav Depths - To the right of the Word Wall on the ledge there is a Corundum Vein.
Ustengrav Depths - Follow the wall around to the right from the Corundum Vein, jump down one ledge & jump over to another ledge & you will find a Silver Vein. It's to the left of the Waterfall.
Ustengrav Depths - When you go down the first narrow walkway into the area above the Word Wall, if you walk back underneath that walkway and jump down 2 ledges you will find a Corundum Vein against the wall.

Cragwallow Slope - In the cavern after the flooded one, there is a vein of Corundum on the right hand side between the tower & the wall.

 

[Shew]

BlackReach: Where else can you mine for soulstones?

 

[SquirrelHunter]

There's a bigger list or where to find ore at UESP's Mining Page.

Best place for good info

 

[xSuoiveDx]

The list on UESP's Mining Page doesn't have all the locations the different types of Ore can be found. I am slowly covering the whole of Skyrim that is accessible & discovering Ore that isn't on any list. I'm documenting it as I go & will post it when I've got most of it completed.

 

[TheListener]

I found some corundum ore when i exited whiterun via the underforge!

 

[xSuoiveDx]

I will be posting the full list of every mining spots next week, I'm nearly finished compiling what is where & is just putting it into 2 lists. One list is what you can find at each location A- Z & the other is set out the same as the ones above.

 

[Lemnisc8]

I need some soul gems! I've heard that blackreach is the way to go and that it can be accessed through some dwarven ruins (which I was standing outside of when I turned it off before coming to work).

*May contain spoiler*

Are there any quest prequisites I need to know about before heading in there, are the veins easily accessable? I've mainly concentrated on side quests and haven't even brought the horn to the greybeards yet.
