Molten Nirncrux

Someone explain this to me. We go into Bloodroot Forge, one huge, giant nirncrux mine in pools and pools of lava. You fight things that throw molten nirncrux at you, and dangerous stuff it is too. Yet amidst all the mining areas, there is not one chunk of nirncrux you can pick up and take home as a souvenir (or to craft with, more likely). And absolutely none of that molten nirncrux every solidifies into chunks either. What basic fact of science am I missing here? Amidst this seeming plenty, there is no nirncrux to be had - not fortified, not potent, nothing.

    Be comforted. It's not like the nirnhoned trait is king of anything. It's a shame what they did to it.

    Should be more upset that Nirncrux mines in Craglorn don't produce Nirncrux... they are just found lying around everywhere.

    Wish they would revert it. It was a very sought after trait many patches back.

    Yeah, I noticed that but I did think maybe the original beta testers stripped those mines bare.
    I've also noticed on the PTS that the set armour is now being issued with the option of a nirnhoned trait.

    The nirnhoned lightning staff is actually really good for aoe damage. So far that's the only nirnhoned bit of gear I have found useful though.

    I think the part of science that you're missing is that a) nirncrux isn't real, and b) nor is the world in which we play this game. I am sorry.

    The OP has a point though. Thematically, bosses should have a chance of dropping nirncrux as loot items, especially in vet mode.

    It's king of being the most expensive trait on the market.

    Actually one of the "middle management" Minotaurs dropped me a Fortified Nirncrux the first time I did the dungeon. ^^v

    i thought the same thing.

    Obvi none of the nirncrux lying around is of the Potent or Fortified variety! These rare and valuable minerals are only found coagulating around plant roots and as injections into more common ores, that sort of thing. All the stuff you find in mines and the Reach forge is only useful as a component in weird evil magic things, and we all know you don't want to get involved in that!

    hold on... you are ok with having a character that can do magic, but you are mad that the lava isn't following basic science? Really?

    You should remember like it was, when nirncrux came out. Very expensive and rare. Now i got my nirncruxes over vMSA for example. :)

    Since the dungeons are technically in Craglorn there is probably a small chance of getting nirncrux from any other mob that normally drops leather since it's considered a harvest node. I've had it drop from welvas and dunerippers overland.
