Can I find potent and fortified nirncrux in all of Craglorn, or just upper?

    My question I would like to add to OP's question is what do they drop within? I have only ever had them in wood, ore or raw cloth... never in alchemy or runestones.

    Basically cloth, wood, and ore nodes, along with NPCs that drop crafting hides. I've seen it drop from welwa before, for the latter.

    That is really cool! I have heard tales of such drops but never experienced myself. :smile:

    They can be found on any node, even water skins.

    That's not completely true. I have never ever in all my days of farming nirncrux seen anyone get a nirncrux in a runestone or an alchemy node.

    Just because you haven't ever seen it happen doesn't automatically mean it cannot be true.

    Show your proof then. It's been my understanding that they only ever drop from the main three crafting discipline materials; namely wood, ore, cloth, and hide.

    @MLGProPlayer I'm inclined to agree with @Judas Helviaryn -- pics, or it didn't happen, because I vacuum up nodes as I see them and have harvested multiple surveys in Craglorn, and not once have I seen Nirncrux of either sort drop from water, alchemy, or rune nodes.

    I have to disagree with some of you here. In my three years of farming Craglorn, I have one time found crux in an alchemy node. I know of others who have found crux in a runestone node. Albeit rare, it does happen.

    Well even if you do it a lot its still RNG, it can happen that you never get one from it. And really, who takes screenshots of their loot like that, maybe a funny catch phrase to say to make them prove their claim but in reality a really silly request. And I doubt very much so that he will go out of his way to only grind those types of nodes now to prove to you that its possible.

    I guess you're right then. I never paid attention to what I get them from. I just assumed it was the same rule as aetherial dust.

    Sure, but since I have not seen any proof for your statement, I'll just call it bs.

    It was my understanding from watching Deltia on youtube that they have a chance to drop from any thing that is considered a container you find. Which is probably the source of many players info.

    On the other hand, thinking back I only ever remember getting them from the three main nodes of cloth, wood, and metal. I am always happy when I get a crafting survey for one of those 3 in Craglorn as I always get at least one.
    As a casual player I was satisfied that at one point I had a char max level and near max crafting with almost all motifs and I pretty much lost interest. Then ESO discovered DLC's and now my main is just a wanabe and I am happily pulled back into the game.

    Yep, clothing, wood, and ore nodes ... including survey sites.

    Nirn drops on animals that yield hides are rare but do happen. I've only had it occur twice in the three years of playing in Craglorn.

    They only drop from related items, since you don't use it in alchemy and enchanting it wont drop from runestones or waterskins.

    To be more accurate:
    NPCs nodes(anything that drops scraps) or any clothing nodes will drop fortified nirncrux.
    metal and wood nodes will drop potent and fortified nirncrux.

    This is because you can't use potent with clothing materials since it doesn't have weapons but can use fortified is it is apparel.
    Since metal and wood are both weapons and apparel they drop potent and fortified.

    I am surprised no one fully explained this out with the reasoning behind it.

    I have gotten one from a drop and others from the three main crafting disciplines.
    Zos should weigh in on this argument.
    Personally i take the word of those that say they have gotten them from alchemy and rune nodes. What reason do they have to lie.

    @Zos, What is it, what nodes give the nirncrux?

    I don't believe this is top secret.

    They drop off of anything that gives crafting mats, metal, wood or cloth. This includes NPC beasts that drop leather and also heavy sacks.
    As someone who has farmed Craglorn since day 1, I can say that I have never seen Nirn drop in alchemy, enchant or water nodes.
    There is a set list somewhere in Up Date notes from 2014 on Craglorn that defines where to find them, but I'm too lazt atm to dig them up....lmao!
    Hopes this gives a little more insight...

    I've YET to find any nirncrux anywhere in Craglorn. I think it's because of the #$%@ running around an ONLY looting Nirncrux from the nodes and leaving everything else.
