| Description | I've recovered a sprig of Nirnroot. A plat ingredient this unusual must have value. Perhaps I should bring it to an alchemist and find out a little about it. An alchemist can be found in almost every city in Cyrodiil. |
Seeking Your Roots starts as soon as your harvest Nirnroot for the first time. You're then directed to ask botanists and alchemists throughout the world regarding the strange plant.
Nirnroot are commonly found near sources of water such as on the banks of rivers. These curious plants make a distinct sound and also glow in the dark which makes them easy to spot.
| List of Objectives | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ask Any Botanist About Nirnroot | |
| 2 | Talk to Sinderion About Nirnroot | |
| 3 | Gather 100 Nirnroot for Sinderion | |

Once you obtain your first Nirnroot, you're directed to ask any alchemist or botanist throughout Cyrodiil regarding the curious plant. They will then direct you to speak to Sinderion who is located in the West Weald Inn in Skingrad.
Note: Unlike other plants, Nirnroot does not respawn so avoid using these in creating potions before starting the quest!

We recommend speaking to Falanu Hlaalu who is the local alchemist in Skingrad in her shop All Things Alchemical. This will help reduce your travel time as the West Weald Inn is just a few steps away from her shop.

Speak to Sinderion in the West Weald Inn and talk about Nirnroot and he'll explain how he can use the plant to create a powerful Elixir of Exploration. He'll then mark Shadeleaf Copse on your map where you can harvest some Nirnroot.
Shadeleaf Copse is located just northeast of Skingrad and is a rather unremarkable location that's just a small pond. Harvest the three Nirnroot here.
| Request | Potion Reward |
|---|---|
| 10 Nirnroot | Weak Elixir of Expedition |
| 20 Nirnroot | Moderate Elixir of Expedition |
| 30 Nirnroot | Strong Elixir of Expedition |
| 40 Nirnroot | Grand Elixir of Expedition |
Sinderion will request 10 Nirnroot initially, but this will increase to 20, then 30, and 40 on each succeeding visit. To limit going back and forth to Sinderion, we recommend harvesting 100 Nirnroot in total before handing in the first 10 Nirnroot.
After handing out the last 40 Nirnroot, Sinderion will give you the last potion and will let you know that his research is complete, which also ends thhe quest. Sinderion will also buy 10 Nirnroot from you moving forward, making him a great source of gold.
Completing Seeking Your Roots rewards you with a Grand Elixir of Expedition as Sinderion's final reward.
Sinderion will also purchase 10 Nirnroot after completing the quest, making him great source of gold if you have extra Nirnroot.
