Nirnroot (Oblivion)

Nirnroot is an ingredient in . It can be found near water sources throughout Cyrodiil. Many Nirnroots are found in pots within shops, homes, and guilds. Taking some of these potted samples is a crime if the Hero is observed taking it. However, none of these samples are marked as stolen because they are obtained using the harvesting mechanism rather than the taking mechanism.
==Biology==
Unlike all other plants in the game, Nirnroot does not regrow; each plant can only be harvested once. Consequently, Nirnroot is a rare plant—so rare, in fact, that no alchemist recognizes what the plant is except a man named Sinderion, located in the basement of the West Weald Inn in Skingrad.
==Number of plants==
There are a total of 306 Nirnroots in Cyrodiil (263 outdoors, 43 indoors).
===Locating them===
Most Nirnroots are found near bodies of water, some are found in various buildings throughout Cyrodiil. Paying attention to shorelines and potted plants while traveling helps locate these plants without extra effort. A faint, pulsating sound emits from the location of a Nirnroot.
==Quests==
===Seeking Your Roots===
Speak to Sinderion in the basement of the West Weald Inn in Skingrad, or harvest Nirnroot for the first time then speak to any alchemist to learn Sinderions location. After collecting enough Nirnroot, Sinderion will create an Elixir of Exploration with increasing degrees of strength. He will then sell them to the Champion at a discount, as well as give them one for free.
