• All Dragonbone weapons (including Dragonbone arrows)

Likewise, Dragon Scales can also be used to craft the following weapons and armor:

How to Sell Dragon Bones Most Effectively

No extra steps are required to sell Dragon Bones and Scales in general stores or potion shops. But if you’re looking to have an easier time or make more money per sale, there are some measures you might want to take.

Sell Any Item Anywhere

While there are already numerous options available to sell your Dragon Bones and Scales, perhaps you’re looking to make this process even easier. If you manage to reach level 50 Speech, you can unlock the Merchant perk. This perk makes it so that you can sell any type of item to any merchant in Skyrim.

Get More Gold per Dragon Bone

There are several perks you can unlock to increase the amount of gold you get per sale of your Dragon Bones and Scales. If you upgrade the first perk—Haggling—all five times, you can get 30% better prices for buying and selling in general. Additionally, the Allure perk allows you to get 10% better prices when buying or selling from the opposite sex.

Increase Gold of Merchants

Leveling up your Speech skills so you can earn more gold per each Dragon Bone that you sell can get frustrating quickly. Unfortunately, it is often the case that merchants don’t have enough gold to keep up with what you’re selling. Luckily, the Master Trader perk helps with this problem. Granted, you will need level 100 Speech for this perk. But if you can unlock it, the perk gives every merchant in Skyrim 1,000 more gold for bartering. This will save you countless trips or reloads.

Furthermore, the Investor perk allows you to invest 500 gold in a shopkeeper, and this will also increase their supply of gold permanently.
