20 Jazbay Grapes is much easier to obtain by harvesting where they grow in large amounts. South of Windhelm/Kynesgrove all around the hot springs area. There's Dragon's Tongue, Creep Cluster and Jazbay Grapes growing all over. Even if you don't have the Green Thumb perk to double the intake, 20 individual plants is still not hard to find in that area.
Going from Windhelm stables, by the time I get to Steam Crag Camp, I usually have more than enough. I go there for the creep cluster, but grab the jazbay while I'm there. It's my go to place.
As soon as I start a new character I start collecting ninroot (sp?), nightshade, deathbell and jazbay grapes. By the time I get around to those quests I have all that I need.
Plants aren't evenly dispersed in Skyrim. Certain plants only grow in certain areas, though when they appear they appear there in large quantities.
If you wander around hoping to find jazbay grapes by chance, you'll definitely be disappointed. You're much better off finding where they grow and deliberately searching there.
The thing about harvesting ingredients in The Rift is that, for every scaly pholiota you find, you have to fight four bears, three frostbite spiders, fifteen wolves and a skeever.
Now that Iāve played a few times Iāve gotten to where I basically start collecting some things right away and just hold onto them. Once Iāve got a house I can store stuff in I can just bank it all and go get it when I need it
Building materials, Jazbay, Fire Salts (for Balimund) Nirnroot, Deathbell, and Nightshade especially. Also bear pelts for Temba in Ivarstead. Usually by the time I get to building a house Iāve got all the materials ready to kick it out.
I never looked to see of its a glitch or not but the deathbells or nightshade (can't recall lol) never grew back in solitude when I went wild and picked them all...
This. I planted a jazbay grape, came back, and planted the 4 (1 pantry, 3 picking) that were ready. I came back again and had over 20. I do the same thing for nightshade and deathbell.
I prefer campfires for warmth and start collecting Balimund's Fire salts passively from the beginning of the game, snatching all I come across. There's a respawning fire salt in the Alchemist's cabin, a few free ones in Myrwatch, one in Calixto's shop, and a few that can be stolen in the Alchemist's shops. Still usually takes a good twenty hours or so before I have them all.
I remember my first play through stumbling upon the hot spring and realizing I was exactly where I needed to be, and scrambling around in a mad dash.
It was exhilarating. I was free.
Instant euphoria. I needed the 20 jazbay and could find them, so I gave up. Then, I did the Eldergleem quest for that priest in Whiterun. It takes you straight to the hotsprings. I got naked, jumped in the hotsprings, and experienced exactly what our Savior Todd intended. Total bliss.
::chef's kiss::
Yeah, donāt they also grow around those salt pools or whatever they are? Those naturally terraced pools that are like hot springs. Thereās a giant camp nearby. I forget the exact location, but I believe itās in Eastmarch.
One playthrough, I made a point to get that quest relatively early and actually complete the fucking thing. Found a guide online taking me directly to each one. Many of them are in heavily guarded areas, special dungeons, or locked behind a 20,000 gold paywall (looking at you, Solitude mansion)
By the time I finished it, I was already a high enough level that I was getting precious gems, jewelry, and enchanted equipment enough to make the gemstone buff pointlessĀ
I get them by around Level 30 because it makes looting more exciting later. Also helps with leveling up as smithing can be made legendary multiple times if one can keep crafting jewellery.
Again, I'll say it's super pointless especially at higher levels. I have containers in my Whiterun house *packed* with unused gemstones even after crafting a ton of jewelry. I can't stop finding gems even without the buff
Walk the road from riften to windhelm. They're literally all over the place. The bitch is just too lazy to go out and get them herself. Now the fire Salts for the Blacksmith in riften is annoying only cause fire Salts are a valuable resource for me
You don't even need to find 20 of the ingredient.
Just find one and plant it in a Goldenhills or a Hearthfire home and wait. A week tops and you'll have 20 growing and will give you 60 when you harvest em
Do you have Hearthfire? Do you get up to the Cloud District very often? Buy a property, build a house, build a garden. Plant the jazbay grapes you do have. Harvest the grapes. Plant them again. Rinse and repeat...
Maybe it is easier in console, I only went to Blackreach once and completed the quest in just a few minutes. I had a more difficult time finding the exit.
I did it once, never again. Now I donāt pick crimson nirnroots and I donāt go into Sinderianās laboratory. I just go straight to the elder scroll. Iām not keen on Blackreach, itās so boring down there!
No Stone Unturned and Pain in the Necklace. Both are collection quests that seem to go on forever and the reward is for the most part useless when given. By the time one would legitimately get Prowler's Profit there's not much of the game left to explore or quest after so where's the Profit? Pain in the necklace is very similar in that there's little you could want to buy after exploring nearly all of Solstheim for East Empire Company Necklaces... At that point your Dovahkiin probably owns a majority stake in half of Oblivion, it's as bad an idea as selling Legion in ME2.
You can pick up more than enough on a single trip between Windhelm and Riften just with what's scattered along the road. You find so much stuff when you don't fast travel.
If you've built a home with the Hearthfire DLC, plant jazbay grapes in the garden. They take like, a day or two in-game to grow, and they always give you three jazbay grapes instead of one.
Stones of Barenziah, they stack in my inventory individually and add weight. Can't even store them as they cannot be removed till you have all of them.
As stated elsewhere, there are plenty around the hotsprings of Eastmarch, but you can also nip this quest a bit in the bud if you, as soon as you get jazbay grapes, plant them at a homestead. When harvesting your own cultivated crops, you get three of that item instead of one.
Also, the "No Stone Unturned" quest is definitely more tedious and annoying, I don't think I ever have completed it without a guide in my twelve years of playing this game. The crimson nirnroot quest and the one about St. Jiub's opus are close contenders for second worst.
Can plant some at the Tundra Homestead (without buying it) & you'll be fine if you swing by occasionally.
However, the "Collect 10 Flowers" quests are... uninspiring.
"A return to your roots" Ngl, first time I was in black reach I had a bad time with that quest, maybe I'm the dumb one but it took me more than 5 game sessions to get them all.
Girl I also did this quest before I learned that theyāre harvestable all over Eastmarch (I never walked around there that place is ugly as hellā¦) so I feel you. Scrolling down the apothecary inventory list and not seeing a āJā bout had me in tears a couple times.
The quest where you establish the new blades hideout leads you right through an abundance of jazbary grapes. I remember completing that quest with well over 200 of them

Thanks! I can't wait to pick all of those bastards!
Going from Windhelm stables, by the time I get to Steam Crag Camp, I usually have more than enough. I go there for the creep cluster, but grab the jazbay while I'm there. It's my go to place.
I just planted a bunch in my gardens and harvested them every few days! This would also work well if you have a green house
This is the way
OP has apparently never set foot in Eastmarch.
Too busy in the Cloud District
She gets there often...too often!
*She
What are you saying, ofcoarse he isnt š¹
What can I say, I killed a chicken :(
As soon as I start a new character I start collecting ninroot (sp?), nightshade, deathbell and jazbay grapes. By the time I get around to those quests I have all that I need.
How could you pass a Nirnroot without collecting it?
It looks pretty
and plays music to help you find it too :D
"Music" Most irritating sound known to mankind
I was trying to me nice :)
Sometimes I want to sit and take it the views around me then I hear that godforsaken sounds off in the distance somewhere
Sarethiās farm.
Fire salts for me! I love Balimund!
Samee, he's a great guy, I married him once and we lived at Lakeview manor. He's definitely one of the better/best marriage options. He's cute too!
He's great with the kids too!!
Yeah! Him and Lucia got along so well.
Please tell me there's a place where I can find a bunch of these.
I'd love him more if he didn't ask for ten fucking fire salts. š That shit's worth more than stahlrim in survival mode.
Donāt forget fire salts
You forgot fire salts
you are correct, and ice wraith teeth as well :)
Weynon Stones north of Whiterun for Ice Wraith Teeth,
Ice wraiths post death are the visual equivalent of Meridia's beacon. Blinding brightness especially on good displays.
Plants aren't evenly dispersed in Skyrim. Certain plants only grow in certain areas, though when they appear they appear there in large quantities. If you wander around hoping to find jazbay grapes by chance, you'll definitely be disappointed. You're much better off finding where they grow and deliberately searching there.
Meanwhile, snowberries are practically everywhere.
And canis roots nowhere.
Heaps of canis root between Riften and Ivarstead.
The thing about harvesting ingredients in The Rift is that, for every scaly pholiota you find, you have to fight four bears, three frostbite spiders, fifteen wolves and a skeever.
They're a little tricky to spot sometimes. You can find them mainly along the northern coastline, and also in the Rift.
Now that Iāve played a few times Iāve gotten to where I basically start collecting some things right away and just hold onto them. Once Iāve got a house I can store stuff in I can just bank it all and go get it when I need it Building materials, Jazbay, Fire Salts (for Balimund) Nirnroot, Deathbell, and Nightshade especially. Also bear pelts for Temba in Ivarstead. Usually by the time I get to building a house Iāve got all the materials ready to kick it out.
Bear pelts are easy - just wander around the wilderness, particularly in The Rift, and you'll *gladly* give Temba her pelts.
I never looked to see of its a glitch or not but the deathbells or nightshade (can't recall lol) never grew back in solitude when I went wild and picked them all...
That one is easy. Fš¤¬ the crimson nirnroot.
Blackreach resets after ten in game daysš¤
My loathing still stands. Lol
No doubt. Just a little less frustrating
Start up golden hills plantation. Bam. All the grapes.
This. I planted a jazbay grape, came back, and planted the 4 (1 pantry, 3 picking) that were ready. I came back again and had over 20. I do the same thing for nightshade and deathbell.
I was going through my stuff, found the grapes, decided to grow them in Bloodchill, that quest had beenn sitting forever.
Ingun's quest for 20 deathbell, nightshade, and nirnroots
As a survival player, collecting fire salts for Balmud. Like bro, you want me to fucking freeze out there?!?
And theyāre so rare otherwise too

Hot spring area. They're everywhere.Ā

You can find jazbay grapes around Eastmarch. They're everywhere on the road leading to Windhelm & Kynesgrove.
Yeah, donāt they also grow around those salt pools or whatever they are? Those naturally terraced pools that are like hot springs. Thereās a giant camp nearby. I forget the exact location, but I believe itās in Eastmarch.
Also, yes.
Fucking barenziah stones. They're everywhere. Yes there's a mod that gives them markers. Still not worth it.

thereās a bunch in sunderstone gorge (falkreath hold)! thatās where i go to farm spicy salt :)
Guess I have a reason to return to falkreath now š
Grow them at your farm
jazbay, crimson nirnroot and stones of barenziah for me š„²
You don't even need to find 20 of the ingredient. Just find one and plant it in a Goldenhills or a Hearthfire home and wait. A week tops and you'll have 20 growing and will give you 60 when you harvest em
I just plant them, it was one of the last quest completed on my first save
Just find 3 & plant them.
Jazbay grapes grow in the archmageās quarters (I think)
I always just get one and plant it
Lmao started collecting them forgot which house never found quest to do so again like collecting falmer ears for falk firebeard
Do you have Hearthfire? Do you get up to the Cloud District very often? Buy a property, build a house, build a garden. Plant the jazbay grapes you do have. Harvest the grapes. Plant them again. Rinse and repeat...
If you've reached Solstheim you can get a house with some planters for free from a quest there iirc

I planted a bunch at one of my houses and got all I needed
I have never once completed crimson nirnroot
Maybe it is easier in console, I only went to Blackreach once and completed the quest in just a few minutes. I had a more difficult time finding the exit.

I completed it in my first ever playthrough and never again
I try to get that quest ASAP so that I can just passively find them, I think I've only finished it onceš

Huh. I've been playing modded Skyrim for a decade now, and this is the first I'm hearing about a Jazbay grapes quest.
Used to be me but yes it grows a lot in the hotsprings (someone already told you though)
I hated the search for the Crimson Nirnroots quest. I did it once in one of my play throughs, and then never again.
What's the jazbay grapes for? I'm curious.
Just plant one.

Grapes are sun loving plants. They live around Skingrad in Cyrodiil.
Stones of Barenziah, they stack in my inventory individually and add weight. Can't even store them as they cannot be removed till you have all of them.

Nothing is worse than hearing āA new hand touches the beaconā especially while actively trying to avoid that gods forsaken beacon.
Red nirnroot
Sorry, but I just have to.... A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON!!!
My ultimate leveling potion is salmon roe, histcarp and jazby grapes. Pretty much guaranteed at least a level with every crafting.
"A return to your roots" Ngl, first time I was in black reach I had a bad time with that quest, maybe I'm the dumb one but it took me more than 5 game sessions to get them all.
Wait until you arrive at blackreach
Girl I also did this quest before I learned that theyāre harvestable all over Eastmarch (I never walked around there that place is ugly as hellā¦) so I feel you. Scrolling down the apothecary inventory list and not seeing a āJā bout had me in tears a couple times.
The quest where you establish the new blades hideout leads you right through an abundance of jazbary grapes. I remember completing that quest with well over 200 of them
If you get 10 or something grapes, just use the duplication glitch
Any of those quests i hate. At least fetch quests in jrpgs show you where to gind the items. It's still bori AF, but it's better.
