- Easy quick way to get Fire Salts?
isamu 10 years ago#11 KudZu posted... But she does sell fire salts. >>>>>>>>>>> She doesn't sell fire salts. OR 2006: Coast2Coast city here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
myztikrice 10 years ago#12 pretty much every alchemist sells at least one fire salt or has one lying around their house and atronarchs you summon yourself don't drop loot "Why are you always
smiling?" |
HienLai 10 years ago#13 Go around to every town's alchemist. This will pass the days to restore their inventory and you'll get your salts soon enough. |
c0ng0tr0n 10 years ago#14 i was asking my self the same question and wasnt getting good results on the web. here is what i gathered. fire salts: skyrim hope this
helps. i wish i had had this. |
oaktytolen 10 years ago#15 Summoned mobs don't have drops. The easiest way to do it is to fast travel to random cities, buy all the fire salts from the alchemist then move on. They restock every 2-3 days, I think. |
cpg2 10 years ago#16 If you have a house with an alchemy lab you should find one or two there (at least the one in Solitude does, IINM). Expensive investment if you weren't going to get it anyways but there you go. |
