Where to Find Frost Salts in Skyrim?

The easiest way to get Frost Salts in Skyrim is to purchase them from one of the Alchemist’s shops. However, if you want to keep your valuable gold, you have to go around almost the whole world. For example, when searching alchemy laboratories, you will find Apothecary’s Satchels. They may contain Frost Salts with a small chance.

Also, this ingredient can simply lie on the shelves in houses. Therefore, below, we have collected all the locations where you can definitely find Frost Salts:

Severin Manor – In the alchemy room on the bookshelves.
Dawnstar – Visit The Mortar and Pestle, and you will find Frost Salts on the second floor.
College of Winterhold – Visit Drevis Neloren’s room in the Hall of Countenance. Also, you can craft Frost Salts in Atronach Forge using Salt Pile, Sapphire, and any type of soul gem.
Solitude – By purchasing the alchemy room in Proudspire Manor, you can find several Frost Salts items. Pay attention that in other houses that the Dragonborn may purchase, this also works.
Snapleg Cave – Check the tents to get Frost Salts.
Riften – On the shelves next to the Arcane Enchanter in Mistveil Keep.

Who Drops Frost Salts in Skyrim?

Alternatively, you can get Frost Salts by killing certain enemies in Skyrim. We recommend it to you because, in addition to getting loot, you will improve your skills. Here’s who you should be hunting for Frost Salts:

Hostile Mages
Falmer
Frost Atronachs

It is important to note that the first two options are not the most effective since they do not always drop the ingredient you need. At the same time, Frost Atronachs will always leave Frost Salts for you after death. However, this is only true for creatures found in the wild. Unfortunately, summoned Frost Atronachs do not drop anything.
