NotesEdit
- The bottled messages work like Treasure Maps, in that finding them enables a treasure that is previously unavailable.
- The bottles can be easier to find at night due to having a faint purple glow. When picked up, you are told "Popping the cork from the bottle to fetch the scroll, the sweet smell of a purple mist tickles your nose."
- Although the description mentions treasure chests, the treasures instead appear as mounds of "Disturbed Earth". Digging up the treasure requires having a Shovel in your inventory, either type of vanilla Skyrim shovel will work. If you do not have a shovel, you will be told that "You need a shovel for this."
- Three of the bottles do not enable a buried treasure. Instead, finding them gives you the "Uncle's Gift" blessing which fortifies Speech by 10 points for one hour. Two of them also enable you to craft a new recipe at cooking stations.
TreasuresEdit
Each buried treasure contains the following:
- A small amount of Gold (which is increased by Imperial Luck and Golden Touch)
- One bottle of Skooma
- A leveled empty soul gem
- A leveled gem (with more gems if you have Prowler's Profit)
- A leveled ingot
- A piece of leveled jewelry (any type)
- One piece of boss chest loot
