question about nirn drops in crag

PKLdude · September 2016

I have been trying to find and i cant seem to get a clear answer. So i am just wondering what drops nirn, not gear but the crafting item to give gear nirnhoned? I thought it came from a chance when you harvested, then some have said the welwa drop it too. What are the chances of getting it, or the drop rate?

Crags getting a rework anyway so I wouldn't focus too much on this. Just farm your heart away you'll find some!

RNG, RNG determines everything in ESO.

Is there a quest that you have to do in order for it to drop? In 1.5 years on console I have obtained exactly 1 piece of it and it was so long ago I'm not even sure how I got it. I actually sold it last week.

since no one gave u an answer... u have a chance at getting nirn from crafting nodes ...such as void stone, void bloom, nightwood and supposedly from welwas since they give shadow hide ( although i have yet to get one from welwas )

Any node that drops mats that you could use the nirncrux on (in other words, anything that's not a consumable) heavy, medium and light armor plus woodworking nodes.

It Drops in Both Upper and Lower Craglorn. Nice thing is you can do a farming lap by pretty much sticking to the main road that circles the zone and avoid most mobs up there. Although, the more you expand your area, the more nodes you will have.

Voidstone, Void Bloom, Nightwood all drop Nirn.

Any animal that drops Shadowhide will drop Nirn, so Wewlas and Imps up there will drop it. Those big Wamasu like critters too if your of a mind to farm them. Not sure what other animals drop hides up there.

The chance to get a Nirn is around 1%, although sometimes the RNG curve is fat for you and you can get a 5% drop rate if your lucky. Note, if you do seem to be getting them at a higher than 1% rate, do nothing to rezone, including going into a Delve up there or you might lose the nice RNG factor. Farm until your butt goes to sleep and your hands cramp if your getting a good drop rate.

Anyway, nothing else drops Nirn, not Alchemy nodes, not Enchanting nodes.

Prices have dropped on the material in the guild stores, so that is a another way to go. Farm public dungeons for Gold and loot to sell for Gold and go buy them.

Your best bet to get it is to drop your crafter ranks for blacksmithing, clothing and woodworking to 9 so you get Craglorn surveys from your writs. I would usually get a piece of nirn on every other survey.

The gargoyles in Hel Ra have a chance to drop nirncrux as well, not sure about the ones in the overworld though.

jackals also drop it on occasion

I've gotten nirn gear drops in Craglorn, but it has been quite awhile since the last one.

PICS or it didn't happen!

I pick up everything in craglorn when I'm farming. I've easily picked up 1000 of each alchemy flower that spawns in craglorn, never once have I picked up nirncrux with it. My buddy has probably farmed 10 times the amount I have in craglorn, same thing.

And yes welwas can and do drop nirncrux, but it seems the rate for that to happen is much lower then it is from a crafting node. In the year I've been playing on Xbox, ive never got one from a welwa, but my buddy has, once.

I have heard that it drops from welvas and anything else that will drop leather scraps (even heavy sacks) but I farmed a lot for it and have only ever seen it come from Equipment crafting nodes (void bloom, void stone, night wood) myself.

But doing writs in Craglorn for the surveys is the very best way to get them. I keep a character at 9/10 crafting to this very thing.

Out of the 50 or 60 Nirns I have farmed in this game, I have only gotten one from an Animal. It surprised me when it happened. I think it is more that there are just less animals up there to kill, or that most farmers avoid the animals.
