How to get Madness Ore in Skyrim
Madness Ore is one of Skyrim’s rarest resources, and it won’t come easily. Unlike iron ore, Madness Ore deposits will not replenish their resources in a cycle. If you can find an ore deposit, you can only mine it once, then you’ll have to find more.
These natural ores are most commonly found only in ruined Shivering Isles fortresses, although this is nowhere near the ideal way to obtain them.
Grummites are goblin-like enemies that roam the Shivering Isles. They can be found in caves, forts, or elsewhere on the islands, and they often guard their eggs. These creatures like Ma.
Xedilian has many deposits and Grummites, Xeddefen and Rotten Den also have some deposits, and the same is true for Jayred’s House. These are some good starting points to build your Madness Ore collection early on.
In addition to these acquisition methods, you can also find this resource in the dungeon boss chests scattered around the world, but of course you need to kill the dungeon boss, including the dragon, which is not an easy task. Pass the game naturally, and there is no doubt that you will solve many dungeons anyway, so you may get lucky and get some ore.
Like glass and amber, crazy ore can also be obtained by trading with Kargit merchants, who travel in caravans around the sky. After completing the first two quests of the Saints and Seducers quest line, you will be able to trade with the members of these caravans freely after obtaining the “New Product Notes”. You will find these merchants traveling around the world, opening shops outside the city gates
Uses of Crazy Ore
Crazy ore itself is not very useful. In order to do anything with it, you must first convert it into crazy ingots, and do it by smelting it, just like you do with any other ore.
In addition to reading the diary, you also need to unlock the third perk of heavy armor forging, called Ebony Forging. This requires at least 80 forging skills. Once all these prerequisites are met, you are free to make.
Crazy ingots can be used to make crazy armor and crazy weapons. All armor fragments need crazy ingots, ebony ingots, and thongs, and most weapons need the same things. The complete list of resources required for these projects is as follows:
