Nightshade

G0DS_DEMON

Anyone know where to find Nightshade ?? Been looking all over.

Tryxus

From regular Alchemy Nodes, like Columbine, Bugloss,...

phairdon

I've found them in different zones, like any other alchemy ingredient. Just explore each zone, you'll find some.

Rayya_Blackheart

Cold harbour and Craglorn are where I've gotten most of mine. They do grow everywhere though

ContraTempo

Most alchemy nodes can be any of the reagent plants. So it might be columbine this time, bugloss the next, nightshade the time after that. Some are always of a specific category. For instance some in caves are always some species of mushroom. A few seem to be specifically locked to a particular plant, especially nirnroot. I have not found any that consistently yield nightshade.

Yinmaigao

I have found a bunch in Hew's Bane near waterways.

Just seems random.

OP might misunderstand this. For clarification, it is it's own unique plant node, much like Columbine and Bugloss.

When I first read your statement, I thought you were saying it was found IN Columbine and Bugloss nodes (which it's not).

Just clarifying for the OP.

Not true, I find them regularily in the same nodes where columbine, bugloss, mountain flower and the other typical plants grow. Nightshade is not special like Nirnroot (which has it's very own nodes).

Edit: no idea, if that matters, but I farm mainly in Stros M'Kai and Glenumbra - not sure about other alliance territories than DC.

Not sure why it's different for you. I find Nightshade (about 30 so far) in it's own node. A greenish plant with purple-ish flowers. I've never found it in another plant node.

Edit: for clarity

I think he means "it's own unique plant node" in that it's plant that you harvest directly and not a byproduct included in the node of other plants like worms and crawlers are.

Basically Nightshade can be found spawning at the same node locations as Columbine, Bugloss, ect., not from harvesting Columbine, Bugloss, ect nodes.

Well. try Stros M'Kai and you will see, you can find it in the very same nodes as columbine and other plants.

Maybe there are differences dependent on zones, not sure about this, but Stros M'Kai and Glenumbra it is like I said.

In which zone is that, I never discovered such a node yet.

Lysette

I mean it could be, that in some zones they are commonplace just like the other plants in the same node, and then again in other zones they might have their very own node - I never have seen such a node which is specifically a Nightshade node. So it seems, in Stros M'Kai and Glenumbra they are commonplace.

Edit: problem for me to say this is, that I have 8 characters in DC and I tend to farm just there - and all I found there were in normal plant nodes.

That's just a pic I found searching the internets. I have found them in all zones. They are random though. And if you don't have Keen eye, they are a little difficult to see, much like Columbine.

All my characters have keen-eye for alchemy, just by that reason. But I would really like to know, which zone that is, which has nodes, where you can just farm Nightshade and nothing else.

From a distance, it looks a lot like Blessed Thistle, but a bit darker. I think I passed a bunch up the first few days because I already have so much thistle I don't usually pick it up.

I've never gotten any from an alchemy survey though, and it seems like it should be in that table, since is spawns as a regular reagent.

@FortheloveofKrist did you ever find yourself such a node, which was specifically for Nightshade?- I have a hard time believing, that this is true, simply because Nightshade is so commonplace where I farm.

All of the Nightshade I have found came from a unique node called Nightshade. If it helps, the most recent one I found was in the middle of Reaper's March. But they are not specific to one zone. They should be located all over Tamriel.

See, and that is really strange - you found them just in unique nodes, and I have never seen such a unique node for nightshade at all. It has to have to do with zones, I guess. I farm a lot of plants and I should have come over a unique node, if there would be some in Glenumbra and Stros M'Kai - but all I found were in normal plant nodes, where other plants grow as well.

Lysette

A similar thing is with columbine - not in unique nodes, I mean - but a lot of people say, it would be hard to find, but I see no difference to other plants, I find columbine just as often as other plants and in the same nodes.

Edit: I wondered for example, if that has to do with that those are starter zones, where I farm - the first mixture you get from the crafting certification quest is columbine and mountain flower - maybe that could be a reason, why columbine is that commonplace there as well.

Every single nightshade I've collected came from a nightshade node just like the one in that picture, regardless of the zone - I've never found nightshade in any of the columbine, mountain flower, whatever else nodes that I've grabbed - and I grab every single node I see wherever I'm going on any map.

There are only 6 types of alchemy nodes in the game:

Plant: Always random. Can be any of the alchemical plants: Columbine, Corn Flower, Nightshade, etc., with the exception of Nirnroot and Water Hyacinth.

Mushroom: Always random. Can be any of the alchemical mushrooms: Namira's Rot, White Cap, etc.

Nirnroot: Never random, found near water, always yields Nirnroot.

Water Hyacinth: Never random, found near water, always yields Water Hyacinth.

Pure Water: Yields solvent.

Water Sack: Yields solvent.

These are the 6 types of nodes that Alchemy's Keen Eye will highlight. It's important to note that Nirnroot, Water Hyacinth, and the two types of solvent nodes are the only stable nodes that yield the same thing each time. Everything else is random. A plant node will always yield plants, and a mushroom node will always yield mushrooms, but the type of plant and the type of mushroom is random, and there is an equal chance of each type of plant/mushroom.

I.e., Nightshade can be found wherever you find any other plant node. It's purely RNG whether a particular node happens to be Nightshade or something else when you visit it. Zone and any other factors are entirely irrelevant, and any pattern people claim to see is nothing more than shapes in clouds.

Exactly. Thanks @code65536

I can say with absolute certainty that Nightshade can most definitely be found as it's own harvestable in the Stros M'kai starter zone.

No idea though as to why your not finding them or why your getting nightshade from other plants.

Ilsabet

Y'all are talking about the same thing but misinterpreting each other.

Lysette, they're not saying that there are nodes where only nightshade spawns (like happens with nirnroot). They're making the same point you are that sometimes other plants spawn in the spots where nightshade spawns.

Other folks, Lysette isn't saying that she gets nightshade drops from other types of plant spawns. She's just saying she's never seen a spot where only nightshade spawns (because there is no such thing).

To put it simply: A nightshade plant will drop the nightshade loot item. Nightshade plants can spawn in the same spots where other types of plants can spawn. A nightshade plant is the only plant you can get nightshade from.

I think the confusion comes from the use of the term "node" and whether that means a spot where stuff spawns or the actual thing that spawns.

I hope that's clearer for everyone now.
