Silver Ore Vein

Silver is a valuable metal that can be used to forge silver jewelry, and an armor set with the addition of the Alternative Armors - Silver Creation. It is also notable as the primary source of Markarth's wealth, due to the infamous Cidhna Mine, owned by the influential Silver-Blood clan. As a result, a popular saying is:

Blood and silver are what flows through Markarth....

Large amounts of silver can be found in Markarth, both in the mine and in various homes and businesses in the city itself.

Five silver weapons are available in the game: Silver Swords, Silver Greatswords, Silver BoltCC, Silver CrossbowCC, and Enhanced Silver CrossbowCC. They do 20 points of extra damage to undead, including werewolves and vampires. You cannot forge these silver weapons; the only way to obtain them is by looting from Silver Hand members and lairs.

OverviewEdit

Name ID    
  Silver Ore 0005acdf 1 25
  Silver Ingot 0005ace3 1 50
  • 3 Silver Ores are obtained by mining Silver Ore Veins. Can be purchased at level >=3.
  • 1 Silver Ingot is obtained by smelting 2 Silver Ores.

Mineral SourcesEdit

In addition to the following guaranteed sources, the best random locations are:

  • Silver Ore may be sold by blacksmiths and general goods merchants starting at level 3.
  • Silver Ingots may be sold by Moth gro-Bagol at all levels.

Silver Ore can also be created by transmuting Iron Ore (and can in turn be transmuted into Gold Ore).

There are a total of 95 veins, 30 ores, and 119 ingots available in the game. Only notable locations are included in the following list, including places where large amount of the mineral may be found and places that are particularly easy to access. The Silver Veins category contains a more complete list of places containing single veins. All exterior ore veins are shown on (map). Note, however, that only 50 veins are shown on the map at one time; to see the rest of the veins, click on "Next" at the bottom of the list of results.

Markarth Cidhna Mine 6 4 To access the silver veins you must be on the quest No One Escapes Cidhna Mine; just being a regular prisoner in the jail gives no access to ore.
Whiterun Hold Lund's Hut 12 As part of the Stormcloak quest Compelling Tribute, you ambush a wagon along the road 740 ft north of Lund's Hut (map). This wagon is carrying a chest containing 12 Silver Ingots.

Silver SmithingEdit

Silver jewelry can be forged from the start of the game, without the need to unlock any Smithing perks, while Silver Armor requires the Advanced Armors perk.

Silver ArmorCCEdit

Silver Armor is a set of heavy armor added by the Alternative Armors - Silver creation. A full set can be recovered through the quest When the Cat's AwayCC, while also appearing in random loot starting at level 10. Forging Silver Armor requires the Advanced Armors perk.

Its armor rating surpasses Orcish armor but weighs more, also no shield exists. But more importantly, the set lacks a material keyword, and therefore does not benefit from the Matching Set perk.

JewelryEdit

The gemstones not listed here can instead be used to create Gold jewelry. Note that although your in-game inventory shows the weight of a ring as 0.3, the true weight is 0.25. Therefore the two Silver Rings crafted out of one Silver Ingot have the exact same weight and value as the Silver Necklace that could instead be crafted.

NotesEdit

  • 1 Silver Ingot is needed for the quest The Only Cure.
  • Ore veins of all types sometimes do not respawn normally. See Mining bugs.
  • Although two flawless garnets are needed to craft a Silver Jeweled Necklace, three gems are seen on the pendant. Additionally, the one in the center appears like a ruby while the two the border it have the correct garnet coloring.
