Where can I find hawk feathers?

The fastest way to get Hawk Feathers is to loot them from hawks that can be seen flying around Skyrim.

These hawks will drop 3 Feathers and 1 Hawk Beak when killed.

The most efficient area to get Hawk Feathers is outside the East Empire Company Warehouse in the Solitude Docks, southeast of the city.

This area has the greatest number of Hawks flying around at the same time.

You can either shoot them with spells like Fireball, or shoot them with arrows from a bow.

Another area with lots of Hawks flying around is inside Solitude, specifically around Castle Dour.

In this area make sure to shoot them while they’re flying inside Solitude.

The reason is because their bodies can drop outside the walls, and if that happens you can’t loot them.

Alternatively, Hawk Feathers can be purchased at alchemy shops such as Arcadia’s Cauldron in Whiterun, or Angeline’s Aromatics in Solitude.

Each merchant has a 15% chance of carrying 1-5 Hawk Feathers in their inventories.

You can also find Hawk Feathers carried by the members of the Silver Hand in Gallows Rock, Driftshade Refuge, and Dustman’s Cairn.

But just note that that these members can only be found in Dustman’s Cairn during the quest “Proving Honor”. So if you’re planning to farm with that method, consider Gallows Rock or Driftshade instead.

Overall though, your best spot for farming lots of these features is likely around Solitude Docks.

For in-game uses, hawk feathers can be used in alchemy. They contain the effects of Cure Disease, Fortify Light Armor, Fortify One-Handed, and Fortify Sneak.

Hawk Feathers can be found on dead hawks along with hawk beaks.

They have Cure Disease as their first effect, making them as effective as a Cure Disease potion as the effect is not magnitude-dependent. They are a lightweight and cheap alternative to the potion, which is probably why Silver Hand members frequently carry them.

Ingredients[edit]

Guaranteed samples can be found in the following locations:

  • 1 in Alftand Animonculory (Winterhold)
  • 1 in Valerica's StudyDG (Castle Volkihar)
  • 1 either on the ground behind the Small House or on the roof of the Main Hall of a player-built home HF

It is categorized as an uncommon ingredient, meaning that all apothecary merchants have a 15% chance of carrying 1-5 samples. In addition, it may be randomly found in uncommon and rare apothecary's satchels. Other possible locations for already harvested samples include:

  • 75% chance at 1-3 hawk feathers at 9% each, or 9% chance at 1 hawk feather being carried by any Silver Hand members.

Creatures[edit]

Hawks can be seen flying in the sky or found near their nests. When shot down, each hawk can be looted for three hawk feathers and one hawk beak. There are 67 nests where hawks can spawn, in 17 different locations. Locations with the greatest numbers are:

  • 17 around the East Empire Company Warehouse (Solitude)
  • 10 centered 300 ft ENE of Solitude (Haafingar) (map)
  • 4 in Bloated Man's Grotto (Falkreath Hold)
  • 4 around the Wreck of The Pride of Tel Vos (Winterhold)
  • 3 centered 280 ft SE of Autumnwatch Tower (The Rift) (map)
  • 3 centered 300 ft NNW of Froki's Shack (The Rift) (map)

  • 3 around Volunruud (The Pale)

  • 3 around Yngol Barrow (Winterhold)

Notes[edit]

  • The base magnitude of the Cure Disease effect for this ingredient is 2 instead of 5. The only real implication of this reduced magnitude is that if charred skeever hide and hawk feathers are combined, the resulting potion will cost 64% less than a typical custom Cure Disease potion.
