Notes

• Quicksilver ingots are used to improve Nordic weapons and armor DB.
• Quicksilver ores can be sold to Leigelf for the quest Mine Ore.
• A special sample of quicksilver ore is used in the miscellaneous quest Truth Ore Consequences. It has no other uses — it cannot be smelted into ingots.
• 1 quicksilver ingot is needed at workbenches to improve elven gilded armor.
• 1 quicksilver ingot is needed at grindstones to improve Bolar's Oathblade and Dragonbane.
• 1 quicksilver ingot is needed to build an alchemy lab table if this North Wing addition is chosen as part of a Hearthfire add-on home.
• Ore veins (all types) sometimes do not respawn normally. See Mining (Bugs) and elsewhere on that article and its talk page.
